Regardless of which raw materials or industrial goods you procure, produce and ship — seamless identification with RFID provides you with decision-relevant information in real time.
What do reliable delivery times, error-free production and agile production up to batch size 1 have in common? They all require end-to-end process transparency based on RFID data. Outdated processes, complex structures, and high cost pressures pose the same challenge to companies in the manufacturing and logistics industries: to remain competitive, they need to make quick decisions based on real-time information.
RFID systems bridge the gap between the physical production world and IT-based MES and ERP systems. By linking the objects with the data of the IT systems, RFID systems generate the necessary transparency for lean processes and digitalized supply chains. The aggregated information, for example about times, locations, users or completed process steps, enables smart functions such as automatic production and ordering processes, identification of sources of error and timely prediction of any bottlenecks. RFID information enables your systems and decision makers to draw the right conclusions. This increases your efficiency and increases resilience to seemingly unpredictable events. RFID – Ready for Intelligent Decisions.
TURCK customers benefit from the specific experience of our RFID turnkey solution partner TURCK Vilant Systems, which has been offering turnkey RFID solutions including its own middleware and ERP integration for 20 years and has implemented them in well over 1000 installations worldwide. Together with TURCK's many years of experience with RFID for production control, we offer complete solutions that map the entire supply and production chain – from suppliers to production and delivery.
RFID connects physical objects to data sets and IT systems. No matter what kind of object you want to link to your individual system landscape, we create the connection.
Key technology for digitalization
IIoT, the Industrial Internet of Things, requires the use of intelligent industrial components that allow physical objects in production logistics to be present over the Internet. Regardless of whether these are containers with raw materials, components, preliminary products or finished products — equipped with RFID tags, all components can communicate with each other as smart objects in the network. This makes RFID a key technology of the IIoT.
Information generation in a suitable context
The information of each Smart Object is obtained via strategically placed reading points. Depending on the application, they are forwarded directly to higher-level systems such as an ERP, or they are transferred via an interface to the PLC or the Turck Vilant Middleware. In this way, Turck's system solution brings the data of the Smart Objects to the level of enterprise applications and plant automation systems. Here, relevant information for your processes and decisions is generated in a suitable context.
