Industrial traceability: make your production, flows and compliance more reliable

Do your parcels need to contain an exact number of items? Would you like to check the contents of a parcel before it is dispatched? Do you need to read a large number of products and do mass reading? RFID tunnels and RFID gates can solve your problems and make your life easier. Working on the same principle, the RFID gantry allows whole pallets to pass through.

Read several products in a single pack; Without opening the boxes, with global monitoring of the product at every stage of its manufacture. With a speed controlled according to the product thanks to the conveyor.

Comprising a conveyor, RFID readers andRFID antennae, the RFID tunnel reads the
contents of a closed box using RFID technology.
Each product is identified by an RFID tag. The products are packaged in a single box. It passes through the RFID reading tunnel, which reads all the tags in the box without any handling. The software calculates the number of tags, and therefore objects, present in the box and can, depending on its settings :

• Detect anomalies in relation to a pre-defined result.
• Simply display the quantity contained in the box
• List all references contained in the box

• Automated reading
• Complete traceability information
• Limits human intervention
• Prevents inventory errors
• Ultra-simplified integration into existing environments

• RFID tunnel with complete RFID system (readers/antennas) + conveyor +
  hermetic cladding (to isolate radio frequencies)
• SDK*
• Tags
• Feasibility study
• On-site testing
• On-site installation
• Service and maintenance

Optional:

• Software development
• Adding a barcode scanner
• Tunnel adaptation to product dimensions and/or conveyor system

*Un SDK est un kit de développement logiciel ; It provides the basic commands for controlling
hardware. It integrates easily into all existing environments.
The SDK can then be developed into a complete software package.

On an industrial site, non-conforming products, whether incoming or outgoing, are collected in a clearly identified and marked storage area;

Non-conforming products are defined as all components, finished or semi-finished products that do not strictly comply either with the quality criteria sheets or with the customer’s specifications; Depending on the quality certification in force, delays in deadlines or documentary errors may also be considered as non-conformities and require corrective action to be documented;

Access to the storage area for non-conforming products is therefore a key factor in assessing whether quality procedures are being properly applied;

The manufacturer wanted to restrict access to the storage area for non-compliant products to a few specially-authorised forklift drivers, so as to be able to precisely monitor movements into and out of this area;

The storage area for non-conforming products is equipped with automatic access barriers controlled by a CPU card.

Authorized forklift operators receive a Thinline IR long-range active RFID tag, enabling them to be individually identified and granted specific access rights to the non-conformance area.

RFID reader antennas detect the presence of a badge from a distance of 15m, giving the barrier time to open before the forklift operator arrives in front of it.

Today, only authorised forklift drivers have access to the non-conformity zone, to bring in products or recover them, in line with our quality commitments;

What’s more, this operation is carried out without slowing down the work of the forklift drivers and with maximum reliability, since users don’t have to do anything new – everything is managed automatically;

• Study and design of the solution
• Design and manufacture of made-to-measure antennas
• Supply of Thinline IR RFID tags from Ela Innovation;
• Integration of RFID reader boxes
• Integration of a CPU card to control the barrier;
• Supply of tag programming software;
• Training users to programme Tags
