RFID automotive production line application realizes automatic control and detection

With the rapid development of the automobile industry, the technological level of the automobile industry is getting higher and higher. The mass production and use of automobiles have improved the intelligent management of production processes. Applying RFID technology to production line monitoring can achieve automatic control and detection and save costs.

Establish a unified central database on-site in the enterprise workshop as an information platform for item circulation to facilitate overall standardized management. In the industrial process, RFID technology is used to assign an identification number (ID) to each work-in-progress component, which is the name of the component in the information network. Through RFID technology, the production status and inventory status are mapped to the information network and registered in the information network. In the on-site central database, it is transmitted to the information system (such as ERP, MRP), etc.

The automobile manufacturing industry was originally a typical large-scale production process with multiple types of work, multiple processes, and multiple materials. Now with the development of personalized cars (buyers can customize the cars), almost every car will have some personalized features. Therefore, it is necessary to apply RFID technology to achieve transparency throughout the entire production process. The automobile industry chain can be simply divided into three basic links: parts manufacturing, vehicle assembly, and after-sales service. Currently, RFID technology is mainly used in parts manufacturing and vehicle assembly. Whether it is a parts production plant or a vehicle assembly plant, only manual management of a large number of parts and complex and numerous manufacturing processes is not only error-prone but also unable to quickly improve the operational efficiency of each process from the source.

Application of RFID in automobile welding production line

Choose high temperature resistant, dust proof, metal proof, magnetic field proof, and reusable RFID tags to monitor welding production line operations through automatic identification of work. Operation instruction information (vehicle type information, welding instruction information, programs, etc.) can be Stored in the target tray. In order to avoid the influence of people and machines, the antenna can be set up in a higher place in the welding production line. Due to the strong anti-pollution ability of RFID tags and strong durability, which greatly reduces identification errors and can effectively improve the visibility of the internal supply chain.

Application of RFID in automobile painting production line

The process of the automobile painting production line is complex, the models vary greatly, and the production flexibility is great. The purpose of automobile painting is to make every car sold look more perfect to consumers. Therefore, each process link of the workshop production line must have a very high level of automation and quality monitoring system. Therefore, RFID technology is used in the body recognition system of the production line automatic control system to collect statistics, status monitoring, quality inspection and other information of various on-site data during the production process in real time and send it to the production control center in a timely manner. RFID technology combined with optical fiber Ethernet and fieldbus can form a complex automatic control system to realize flexible production of automobile painting production lines, improve the automation level of automobile body production and adapt to the flexibility of different varieties of production, making the system very reliable performance and fault tolerance.

Application of RFID in automobile assembly production line

As the final link in automobile production, the assembly workshop involves numerous parts and processes, and plays an important role in ensuring automobile quality and production progress. Any interruption in the assembly process means a delay in operations. On the assembly line, especially on the assembly line that adopts JIT (Just In Time) production method, raw materials and parts must be delivered to the work station on time, and inventory and material supply must also match the vehicle assembly progress.

RFID technology has been widely used in production line control to realize automatic control and data collection. Each RFID electronic tag can be uniquely identified, and the application records the raw materials and source of each product, production line location, production process and inventory status, etc., providing effective basis for better management of production and adjustment of inventory.
