RFID production and intelligent manufacturing usher in new opportunities

With the rapid economic development, the development of manufacturing industry has been driven, and the development of unmanned, intelligent and automated production lines has attracted much attention. RFID technology is used for large-scale and batch production, which solves the urgent need for fast and high-quality production requirements. The fully automatic production line realizes automated data management, information management, and real-time monitoring management. The application of RFID production line assembly line mainly uses RFID Reader-writer equipment installed at the production line station or suitable location to read the RFID electronic tags installed on the pallet or product for data collection, reading, and control, and complete a series of production situation management.

RFID has gradually begun to be applied to the discrete manufacturing industry. Compared with the currently widely used barcode technology, RFID electronic tags can be non-contact, wireless long-distance collection, strong penetration, high-speed mobile state, storage of more data, and can be used in harsh environments. The goal of production line visualization is to enable enterprise management to discover the production of work-in-progress and the operation status of the production line in real time. The solution mainly consists of several parts: assembly line, RFID data collection system, work-in-progress and Library-borrowing-machine-touch-query-intelligent-terminal-all-in-one-machine.html target='_blank'>workstation. Work-in-progress moves on the assembly line, and workers take it down to assemble parts after it arrives at the workstation. After completion, it is put back on the assembly line until all processes are completed. The RFID data collection system mainly includes RFID readers and writers, and each work-in-progress is bound to an RFID electronic tag.

Give full play to the technical advantages of RFID and use RFID technology on the production line. It is not to completely build a new production management system based on RFID, but to integrate RFID information with the existing barcode-based production management system, and organically incorporate RFID applications into the overall enterprise information architecture. Use RFID, barcodes, and sensors to collect real-time data on the production line site, and transmit the read data to the upper device (controller, computer) through the network (wired or wireless). To manage loose sensors, a new management mechanism that can automatically discover and organize the network is needed, deploy RFID readers and writers, and establish reader-writer network connections to solve the planning, optimization and control problems of the reader-writer network. The RFID electronic tags on the items, combined with the RFID readers and writers connected to the network, each identification means tracking the items.

In addition, the RFID system can also provide a variety of applications and services, including: production line status monitoring, employee behavior monitoring, production management, quality management and tracking, material management, job scheduling, on-site operation guidance, and real-time uploading of production data. The entire network architecture must provide information tracking functions, and all product information and information of each flow point can be listed according to the product identification code. In order to ensure that the tracking information is complete and the information chain can be queried in real time, an information chain backup function is provided, and the tracking information can be found even if there is a little interruption.

RFID is perfectly combined with existing manufacturing information systems such as ERP and CRM to establish a more powerful information chain as the basis of intelligent manufacturing, allowing RFID technology to achieve accurate automatic data collection at the right time, thereby improving Asset utilization, enhancing productivity, conducting various online measurements, and supporting quality control. For enterprises with modern, diversified, and high-demand enterprise management awareness, RFID technology will bring huge benefits.
