² Value gain: reduce the skilled operation time of new employees by 60% to ensure the accuracy of assembly process; realize error-free assembly of materials; docking automatic processing / testing equipment, automatic configuration / calling of procedures / parameters; automatic docking records and accurate traceability of quality data; realization Abnormal products are automatically diverted and repaired off the assembly line; production progress is visualized and monitored in real time.

Typical application cases:
The "RFID+" solution provided by Sigu has been widely used in many leading home appliance companies and has exerted tremendous economic benefits.

ü Typical case-A
Project Background:
A's current reminders, communications and other content are handled by phone and mail, as well as fines after the event. There is no early warning mechanism to warn suppliers to deliver as soon as possible; the vehicle will be released by the security guard at the door, which is likely to cause traffic jams and unloading resources at the door of the factory. Occupied by order, resulting in unbalanced unloading scheduling; in case of emergency delivery, you need to notify the supplier by phone, the door to let the security guard release and artificially allocate the unloading position, but this program has many communication links, the efficiency of accident avoidance is low, and it is easy to form a shutdown.

An Introduction:
After passing sygole research, provide the following solutions

● Distribution of active RFID electronic tags to supplier vehicles, used to correlate vehicle delivery information (material type, quantity and unloading position, etc.), as a basis for whether to allow supplier vehicles to enter the factory to unload and assign unloading positions; in the factory area Configure an intelligent reservation terminal outside to quickly complete the unloading space reservation; at the same time configure the online reservation function of the web version, the supplier can access the web page through the external network to achieve online reservation, to avoid the situation of early delivery or late delivery of the supplier;

● Install LED screen and status display light on the unloading position to complete real-time guidance on unloading, display of idle and busy status of unloading position and timely reminder of unloading overtime;

● At the same time, according to the company's individual needs and business processes, customized and self-developed business management system can be seamlessly connected with ERP, MES, WMS, etc.


Value gain:
Realize the functions of automatic release of delivery vehicles, automatic allocation and guidance of unloading positions, real-time monitoring of unloading positions, and timely reminders of unloading overtime at home appliance factory suppliers; vehicle congestion rate at the factory entrance is reduced by 70%, due to untimely delivery Abnormal work hours caused by lack of materials are reduced by 80%, the workload of security personnel at the factory door is reduced by 5%, the original resource allocation work (such as forklifts) is saved by 50%, and warehouse inventory is reduced by 15%.

ü Typical case-B
Project Background:
B's processing workshops rely on manual methods and paper barcode management tools. Paper barcodes are easily stained in oily environments, cannot reliably transfer parameters, and cannot achieve M2M communication. The tool life can only be judged by experience. Easily causes:                

● Information is opaque, easy to waste, and rising costs;

● Long processing preparation time and low processing efficiency of CNC equipment;

● Lack of materials leads to suspension of production, delays in production, and high risk of delivery;

● Parameters cannot be effectively transferred, which may cause errors and affect product quality.                

               
An Introduction:

● Install the RFID tag on the tool for identification and information reading and writing of the entire life cycle of the tool;

● Install a reader on the host machine of the CNC machine tool and other equipment as an information interaction interface between the RFID tag and the host machine control system;

● Using RFID tags as information carriers to realize the information interaction (M2M) between the tool and the host and between the host and the host, thereby reducing the processing assistance time of the host and realizing the prediction of the life of the auxiliary equipment. 
              

Value gain:
Realize tool life management, increase life, effectively reduce processing equipment preparation time, increase machine tool utilization, reduce tool inventory by 20%, reduce tool cost by 10%, reduce preparation time by 15%, increase equipment efficiency by 10%, and shorten delivery time 10%, reducing the overall cost by more than 15%.

ü Typical Case-C
Project Background :
The manual code scanning mode consumes manpower: as each person needs to perform each code scanning operation and as the scale of production expands, the number of manpower that requires manual code scanning surges:
Low recognition rate of fixed scanning mode: The barcode recognition rate is low due to the gray layer and oil pollution at the production site, which cannot support the accurate operation of the MES system on the production line / assembly line information management.

An Introduction:

● Insert industrial RFID electronic tags on tooling boards / pallets / containers, and write production process information into electronic tags to replace paper barcodes, which has the advantages of oil resistance, reusability, and easy identification;

● Add RFID reading and writing equipment to meet the application of industrial environment on the production line / assembly line station, as a key equipment for data collection in MES system, to achieve information transmission.

Value gain:

To achieve multi-variety mixed flow assembly, process data is automatically collected, the data collection rate is increased to 99%, the manual barcode scanning time of each product is reduced by more than 90%, and the MES data accuracy rate is increased to 90%.
