The development experience of the past few years shows that the precise control and tracking of each part of the production, procurement and manufacturing process can enhance the competitiveness of enterprises. Nowadays, RFID technology has been widely used in the global manufacturing industry, which is used to simplify the operation process, so that enterprises can achieve a shorter delivery cycle and obtain higher cost-effectiveness.
In the digital age, intelligent computing devices can be seen everywhere. The key to improve the efficiency of manufacturing industry is to use these new technologies. Combining RFID with IOT and other new technologies will help reshape the manufacturing industry, bring innovative operation mode for enterprises, and generate new revenue sources and improve productivity.
4 Important Things You Need to Know
» RFID Optimizes manufacturing process
RFID can bring enterprises more intelligent and accurate manufacturing capabilities. Whenever it is necessary to strengthen the control or supervision of production, a cost-effective RFID system can be implemented, which can timely obtain information, find problems in the process, and monitor the efficiency of each stage.
Product warehousing, inventory management, logistics transportation, sorting and inventory and other processes can benefit from RFID. Some manufacturers want to go further, pursue higher efficiency and track the whole life cycle of products. In the production process, RFID can also track the status of each component to improve the visibility of the product manufacturing process.
In modern manufacturing plants, these functions of RFID bring the production capacity of enterprises to a new level.
» RFID Promotes intelligent manufacturing industry 4.0
In addition to simply tracking the components in the supply chain and monitoring the inventory, industry 4.0 also requires to change the traditional operation process and implement intelligent and automated systems. Each element in the process should be considered, including material management, process tracking, data capture, system protection and product verification, so as to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.
By capturing, using and analyzing the information of each part in the production process, and generating complex data, and using them to improve efficiency. With a variety of RFID tags and reading devices, industry 4.0 can rely on intelligent devices and readers to track every element of the industrial process.
» RFID Brings more comprehesive process control capability
The main goal of manufacturing upgrade is to improve the efficiency of each step in the production process. More reasonable layout of the production line, access to raw materials, and provide accurate assembly instructions are the challenges faced by manufacturers every day.
A simple obstacle (such as the recent Suez Canal incident) can lead to delays and have a huge impact on the company’s production. Although RFID can not make the container arrive at the destination smoothly, tracking its exact location in the supply chain can help enterprises respond to the delay and inform customers in time.
» RFID brings better manufacturing capability and service
In automobile manufacturing, automatic assembly line has greatly changed the mode of production. RFID can help car manufacturers track every component in international logistics until it is installed on the assembly line.
Today, manufacturers use robotics more than ever before, making factories around the world safer and more reliable. The unique VIN code written into the RFID tag chip can help automobile enterprises carry out various after-sales processing, including vehicle recall and tracking the accurate shipping location (if there are quality problems in some batches).
