Work in Progress (Paint-shop)
Solved the problem of deploying high-temperature RFID tags in paint shop operations to track work in process and automate stock trackingÂ
THE CHALLENGE
Automated Work-In-Process (WIP) Tracking can provide critical manufacturing data. But high temperatures and harsh operating environments have traditionally made it challenging to deploy automatic identification solutions like barcode labels and RFID tags. Customers lacked WIP visibility into its painting processes leading to manual stock checking and sub-optimal employment of its resources.Â
THE NEED
- Deploy high-temperature enduring RFID tagsÂ
- Track work-in-progress and automate stock trackingÂ
- Estimate material purchases based on real-time usageÂ
- Gather information on the temporary material stockÂ
- 100% WIP visibility, along with automated material trackingÂ
- Ability to generate purchase orders based on real-time dataÂ
- Eliminate manual processes associated with stock checking and inventory managementÂ
OUR SOLUTION
We have made it possible for all the readers to remain connected via LAN with the RFID Reader Unit in order to consolidate the data and forward it to the RFID server. The server comprises an application for managing and monitoring the RFID readers, business logic for monitoring dialogues, and the interface to SAP/ERP system. The RFID tags are mounted on product hangers/pallets. The data is forwarded to SAP as the hangers pass through RFID read points at the production line.Â
IMPACT WE MADE
With the Work in Progress (Paint-shop), we were able to make an impact through:Â
- Excellent RFID readabilityÂ
- Real-time accurate production overviewÂ
- Improved manufacturing planningÂ
- Greater inventory controlÂ
- Cost savingsÂ
- Increased staff productivityÂ
- Automated material trackingÂ
- More accurate purchase ordersÂ
