Our Manufacturing ID Systems help to improve production processes. They make it easier to control the supply of components to the production line. They help automate production and test steps. They manage work in progress, monitor dwell time, and validate goods returned for warranty repairs. They save costs in cages, stillages and pallets. They track tools, ensuring that they are available when needed and returned when finished with.
Our systems improve information flows, making it easier to make production decisions.
Controlling Work In Progress
Our Manufacturing ID Systems can make a significant contribution to saving manufacturing costs by helping to monitor work-in-progress. WIP that needs to be kept at a particular stage for a specified time or that is held as intermediate stock prior to final assembly can be tracked and identified.
Systems can check the sequence of steps that an item has been through and signal to final testing processes just which tests should be applied. You can find out how Vaillant uses a manufacturing ID system to helps improve production quality for their range of domestic boilers in this case study. You can also learn how manufacturing ID systems can contribute to delivered product quality in this fact sheet and find out how RFID gateways (RFID portals) can also help in production management.
RFID also helps in the management of deliveries to customers. Ainscough uses RFID to confirm that the correct configuration of crane is shipped to site, ensuring that delays to customers projects are minimised and you can read more in this case study.
“The solution supports our existing working processes, saving time, reducing costs and removing errors. CoreRFID’s expertise in automatic identification has been key.” Keith Pearson – Asset and Transport Manager, BAE Systems
Managing Warranty Returns
Manufacturing ID systems can also be used to manage warranty returns. How can you make sure that an item returned for repair is returned to the original owner? How can you make sure that no unauthorised parts have been added since its manufacture? Electronic ID systems make this possible.
