Challenge
In battery cell production, different raw materials must be processed in the correct order and with precise parameters. Incorrect material assignments or incorrect process steps can impair the quality of the cells. Reliable identification of the material containers is necessary to ensure error-free operation and to document the production steps performed without gaps.
Solution
TURCK's RFID system enables automated identification of containers holding raw materials. Read/write heads such as the TNLR-Q80 are specially designed for harsh environments with dust and chemical influences. They capture RFID data contact-free and transfer it directly to the ERP system via the TBEN-L-4RFID interface using OPC UA. This direct communication with the IT level enables seamless integration into existing production processes.
Standard RFID systems are often prone to errors, especially in metallic environments. TURCK offers special high-frequency tags for this purpose, which can be reliably read even on metal. The system simply reads the ID of the container and adds all relevant production data from a central database. This solution minimizes production errors, optimizes processes and ensures complete traceability.
"With our robust RFID technology and the OPC UA interface, we provide an end-to-end solution for material tracking in battery cell production."
