Bumper production involves molding machines that, once running, cannot be stopped precisely at required quantities. This often results in overproduction (e.g., needing 1,000 but producing 1,300), creating excess stock. The supplier needed to accurately identify each unique bumper variant (distinguished by model, front/back, sensor holes, etc.) and precisely track its production details—including production time, raw material used, and the specific car model it was made for. This granular traceability had to be maintained through harsh manufacturing environments, including high-temperature painting lines, and then efficiently manage the resulting excess inventory.
The automotive bumper production RFID solution provided the Tier 1 Supplier with full, item-level traceability for every bumper throughout its entire production cycle, even through high-temperature processes like painting. This enabled precise management of production overruns, ensuring accurate stock control and allowing excess inventory to be effectively utilized for subsequent orders.
The Tier 1 Supplier implemented an automotive bumper production RFID solution, providing detailed tracking from molding through to finished goods:
