The application of
RFID for food safety traceability and anti-counterfeiting is no longer news, but if the molds on the production line are also managed to make the factory completely visualized, it may seem like a crazy idea, but now it can become a reality.
A food processing manufacturer continues to use
RFID technology for food safety traceability and anti-counterfeiting, and extends it to the management of processing molds on the production line. Now, customers can use industrial readers on the molds
The collected data optimizes production, mold, product tracking, and production data management.
The food processing plant has multiple production lines, each of which can flexibly produce multiple types of food, covering a variety of snack products. Even on the same production line, the molds used may need to be replaced due to different product styles. To undertake food processing for multiple brands, due to the limited shelf life of food, it is necessary to schedule the production line reasonably in order to deliver on time. At this time, it is necessary to analyze the data interaction between production capacity and mold usage to determine when to shut down for replacement and when to schedule. For this purpose, all molds are equipped with
RFID code carriers
The reader/writer is permanently installed in the production line and mobile collection system of the warehouse and production area, and can track the progress of each mold. In the production line, a database oriented
RFID industrial identification system helps ensure mold and product tracking, process optimization, and improvement of production statistics data.
All information collected by the control system is transmitted to the local database of the factory operation server, which stores the data of all molds in the current production cycle of the production line. The generated information is synchronized with the server for comprehensive mold management and tracking. Complete
RFID industrial reader/writer
Not only on production machines, but also on mold cleaning stations, it is easy to identify whether the cleaning cycle has been correctly executed.
Nowadays,
RFID industrial identification systems ensure that the central server database of all machines contains valuable information that can be used to optimize factory production efficiency and quality. Data pools have a wide range of applications, including optimizing logistics. The system displays the position of each mold or tracks the path that the mold passes through the production factory. This can achieve easy localization of potential fault sources.
