How RFID can speed up the intelligence of manufacturing?
More and more companies are focusing on intelligent manufacturing, hoping to realize "fewer people" by promoting intelligent manufacturing, reduce costs, respond flexibly to market changes, and better meet customer needs. As an important core component of the perception layer of the Internet of Things, RFID is non-contact and non-perceptual to realize intelligent identification and data collection. The Internet of Things technology allows different devices to be interconnected through RFID electronic tags. So what can RFID bring to the manufacturing industry Features of RFID RFID technology has the advantages of contactless, large capacity, fast, high fault tolerance, anti-interference and corrosion resistance, safety and reliability, etc. It can not only flexibly adjust the recognition distance, but also read a large number of RFID tags at the same time. In addition, RFID technology is also penetrating and can easily identify RFID tags inside objects. UHF RFID tags can be read remotely in batches, avoiding the shortcomings of bar codes that can only be read visually. It can automatically identify and add quality data at the inspection station, batch identification and automatic in and out of storage to improve production levels and avoid the adverse effects caused by human operation errors or missed operations. And the original barcode can be printed on the surface of the RFID tag, compatible with old equipment, to avoid asset waste. Application of RFID in Manufacturing 1.Product tracking and traceability RFID tags will be attached to the materials or the pallet with the material, the product specifications, quantity, time, responsible person and other related information recorded on the RFID tags, instead of the traditional manual records. Production managers read product information through the reader at any time and other relevant personnel can grasp the production status and adjust production arrangements according to the situation timely, as well as control the flow of materials at any time. Install RFID reader at each collection point, when the material or pallet with RFID tags pass through the collection point, the RFID read-write equipment will automatically obtain the information of the material and transmitted to the background, the management personnel can accurately know where the materials are located through the background. Furthermore, as raw materials, parts and components pass through the production line, the production process can be controlled, modified and even restructured in real time to ensure reliable and high quality production. 2. Factory asset management RFID tags are attached to asset equipment to store information such as location, availability status, performance characteristics, and storage capacity. Based on this information, maintenance of manufacturing processes and labor adjustments help increase asset value, thereby optimizing asset performance and maximizing asset utilization. With reduced downtime and more efficient maintenance of machines, it can positively impact very important manufacturing performance parameters, such as overall equipment efficiency. 3. Intelligent warehouse logistics Integrating the RFID system with the automatic warehouse system of the manufacturing enterprise can realize the automation of product access and batch identification of products. RFID technology participates in every link of incoming materials, production, packaging, transportation and warehousing, until it is finally sent to the next destination in the supply chain, all-round and fully visualized, all of which are related to information management. The RFID tags produced by XGSun have stable performance and very competitive price in the market. The tags cover all the mainstream chips in the market, such as NXP Ucode8, Ucode9, Impinj M730, M750, Mr6, etc., which can meet your needs for different application scenarios.
