How to use RFID in car manufacturing

The demand for fast, high-quality, environmentally sound and efficient production is ever growing. RFID as a technology offers speed far beyond that of bar-codes as most production steps can be automated. Furthermore, the introduction of RFID for car manufacturing ensures full visibility on material consumption, finished goods and their location, and helps manage in- and outbound shipments.

Customers using Turck Vilant Systems applications that provide RFID for car manufacturing experience higher production throughput, quality improvements and cost reductions thanks to higher level of automation.

Automatic Goods Receipt

A manual process for goods receipt takes up time and is prone for error. RFID enabled goods receive allows distribution centers, warehouses, production plants as well as sales locations benefit from literally no-touch goods receiving with highest data accuracy.

Lean Manufacturing Tools should Include RFID

Forklifts equipped with RFID readers know what they carry on their fork and their movement from one hall to another is registered. Material availability information is always kept up-to-date and thus production must never run out of materials.

Quality Control in Manufacturing

Introducing RFID allows companies to ensure correct materials and tools are being used during production. Furthermore RFID systems register which materials are used for a given production batch. These data can later be utilized to improve production process as well as for later tracking of any production issues.

Serialised Car Part Traceability

The introduction of RFID read points to key areas in your production facility means you can trace the parts used. Tracking inbound materials, material stock and different phases in your production gives you full visibility to material inventory as well as which part ended up in which final product.

Loading Verification

RFID verifies the correctness of shipments before they are loaded onto vehicle. All shipments are equipped with RFID tags and the RFID gates at dock doors detect products loaded onto trucks. The RFID system is in constant interaction with the Warehouse Management System (WMS) and in case of wrong items are loaded, false loading alarms are initiated immediately.
