Traditional home appliance manufacturing enterprises have clear production line planning, with corresponding numbers of workers arranged in the feeding area, installation area, and commissioning area for production arrangements. People rest, and machines and production lines also need to be stopped accordingly. During promotional activities, the sales volume of household appliances will sharply increase, which will affect the stability of household appliance production. The production capacity is basically fixed, and in order to cope with the sudden increase in demand, manufacturers can only choose to work overtime to catch up. Long term assembly line operations will cause physical and mental exhaustion of workers, and the error rate and product failure rate will naturally increase. More seriously, it will cause problems such as inability to deliver on time. The traditional production methods are far from meeting the production needs. Introducing
RFID technology and intelligent management methods can effectively improve work efficiency, achieve mass production, and meet market demand.
The home appliance manufacturing industry has a long production cycle, complex product structure, and a wide variety of components, and adopts
RFID technology
After the technology is developed, during the operation of the production line, the parts allocation workshop will use pallets to transmit the required parts according to the production batch and product model to each assembly line through a conveyor belt. The pallets are equipped with
RFID electronic tags to identify the production batch information and part information. The industrial grade
RFID reader installed on the production line node will read the labels on the pallets and then control the direction of the conveyor belt to ensure that the parts arrive accurately on the production line. The work badge worn by workers is also equivalent to an
RFID tag. Before starting work, workers first swipe their identity, and then the processed parts and process information will be recorded on the code carrier inside the parts, thereby obtaining the identity information and batch information of the product. If there is a problem with the product, an alarm will be automatically issued or the problematic product will be classified, and then the material allocation of the product will be based on the information. The application of
RFID technology automatically transmits the entire production process information to the computer console of home appliance processing machinery, improving the automation level of production and reducing labor costs.
RFID technology is always in a monitoring state during the production process of household appliances, establishing individual information files for products and achieving record tracking of individual products, in order to achieve quality traceability of products. There are various types of household appliance parts, and in traditional production, it is necessary to classify and store household appliance parts in an orderly manner during transportation and storage. After the parts come down from the production line, they are read by an industrial grade
RFID reader
Identify the identity of the parts and then perform automatic sorting to achieve seamless connection between the production line and packaging line. The accurate and reliable sorting of parts makes home appliance production and assembly easier.
The application of
RFID can provide product tracking and enhance the visibility of the supply chain by providing tracking functionality for customers' products. On the other hand, it can provide customers with anti-counterfeiting and traceability functions. Counterfeit and inferior household appliances not only harm the rights and interests of consumers, but also damage the brand reputation of merchants. By using
RFID electronic tags to record the selection, manufacturing, distribution, and other aspects of household appliances, it provides evidence for product traceability and effectively prevents counterfeit and inferior household appliances in the market. The application of
RFID technology has changed the production mode of the home appliance manufacturing industry, improved the automation level of the production process, achieved real-time control of the production line, increased productivity, and reduced production costs.
