Procter&Gamble完成了可见资产的SmartParts试验

如果机器操作员发出改变的错误并将错误的部件或工具放在机器上,则可能导致昂贵的问题。这包括机器损坏或昂贵的缺陷产品运行,必须在最终产品质量控制时拒绝。
SmartParts是Rubee技术,没有RF。由于它使用磁信号,因此它不会被钢,液体或人体阻挡,并且没有多径反射。
“包装机械越来越复杂,”杰森德伯勒,高级资助工程师和项目领先表示。“更多机器包括伺服驱动器,集成机器人,视觉系统,机器故障/性能分析以及与具有许多可选变更部件的线路和生产管理系统集成的通信。对于P&G最重要的是我们在我们的生产线上启动时的“机器准备”,所有更改部件都正确安装和识别。
“Over the last four years, we have tested many other wireless technologies (e.g. RFID, LEB, ZigBee, Vision) as a change-parts start-up audit solution without much success," Debruler said. "Over the last year of testing with RuBee SmartParts on our packaging machines, we are confident that this technology will enable us to completely digitize our change-part verification to advance our machine reliability and eliminate issues due to the wrong change-parts. SmartParts is now a P&G-wide approved product.”
