RFID promotes the application case of three-dimensional storage pallet production system management in the optoelectronics industry

A certain aviation optoelectronics company specializes in the research and development of mid-to-high-end optical, electrical, and fluid connection technologies and equipment. They currently independently develop over 300 series and 250,000 varieties of various connection products. Before implementing RFID, they used barcodes for identification. The frequent circulation of three-dimensional storage pallets caused smudges and wear on the QR codes, impacting data reading performance.

Application Solution

Using the FR12-E00 (modbusTCP protocol) paired with Siemens PLCs and PCs, RFID tags were installed on the logistics conveyor line and on the pallet carriers. RFID offers stable identification performance 24/7, 365 days a year. RFID's inductive recognition is unaffected by stains and is environmentally superior to barcodes, thus resolving the customer's barcode staining issue.

Application Scenario

Pallet transportation: As pallet carriers pass through Library-borrowing-machine-touch-query-intelligent-terminal-all-in-one-machine.html target='_blank'>workstations, CFR12-E00 readers automatically read the tag information, allowing the system to verify the correctness of the transportation line process in real time. Quality inspection: Readers at the inspection stations read the pallet inspection results and associate them with the tags, creating a complete quality traceability record. Advantages: Automatic identification is achieved throughout the entire vertical warehouse, eliminating the need for manual code conversion. This improves automation efficiency while significantly reducing the risk of data omissions. Finished product inbound and outbound management: Upon inbound delivery, the reader reads the finished product label information in batches and automatically completes the inbound registration. Upon outbound delivery, the order and product information are verified to ensure consistency, preventing incorrect shipments.

Application Products

Intelligent has launched the FR12 series of RFID products, which feature the following: Highly integrated design: Integrating an antenna, amplifier, and controller, and utilizing advanced integrated chip technology, this product achieves compact size and high performance. This highly integrated design not only reduces the size and weight of the device, facilitating installation on space-constrained production equipment, but also reduces inter-device connectivity complexity, improving system stability and reliability. Convenient installation and flexible deployment: The product's compact size and structure offer flexible mounting options, allowing for quick installation at key production line locations such as wire drawing machines, stranding machines, and material inlets and outlets of copper plating equipment via bolt-on mounting. Standard communication protocols and interfaces: The product complies with standard industrial communication protocols such as MODBUS TCP/IP, ProfiNet, and EtherNet/IP, and supports Ethernet interfaces. This standardized design enables the RFID system to seamlessly integrate with existing production management systems (such as MES and ERP), enabling real-time data transmission and sharing. Through the Ethernet interface, the reader can quickly upload collected RFID tag data to the server, providing timely data support for production scheduling and quality control. High protection level: With an IP67 rating, it offers excellent resistance to water, dust, oil, and corrosion. Even during prolonged exposure to harsh environments during steel cord production, it ensures normal operation of the equipment, effectively extending its service life and reducing maintenance costs.
