RFID chips are attached to VA trolleys circulating in production for batch tracking. The Wilms software records a large number of readings of the RFID chips itself and passes this information on to FASTEC 4 PRO in a consolidated form. In FASTEC 4 PRO, all information about the current status of production is bundled together and enriched with the information from the RFID chips. FASTEC 4 PRO has the authority to make decisions and can monitor the process flow. This makes it possible to decide and track the order in which the VA trolleys move through production and ensure that the right stations are always processed in the right order.
The advantages for production are a high degree of traceability right through to the end customer. Batches can be traced in detail and it is possible to determine from which VA trolley an end product was taken. Quality assurance and traceability play a particularly important role in regulated industries such as the food sector.
The highly resistant adhesive that Wilms uses to attach the RFID chips to means of transport in production is perfectly designed for the complex requirements of a wide range of production conditions and is already certified in the food environment. From freezing at -15 degrees Celsius to rinsing and cleaning at 90 degrees Celsius, it can withstand everything – the chips are firmly attached.
Wilms’ independence from manufacturers ensures that the company provides an individual solution for each customer project, tailored to the customer’s needs. The software solution and the associated RFID chips can be fitted to a wide range of objects with a wide variety of materials.
