RFID Mold Management Application

1. Mold inbound and outbound management
2. Production line usage monitoring and automatic collection of usage records
3. Mold maintenance, inspection and repair management
4. Mold search and positioning and anti-loss and anti-misuse management
5. Mold scrapping and life cycle management

1.Mold inbound and outbound management

Functional points:

When the mold enters and leaves the warehouse, the label information is automatically read, and the system automatically registers the outbound time, operator, and destination;

Supports batch outbound, mold inventory, borrowing and returning registration and other processes;

Can be integrated with barcode/handheld terminal/channel gate machine.

Features:

Batch reading and fast identification can be achieved, and the efficiency is several times higher than the scanning method

Support UHF long-distance identification or HF close-range accurate identification; Support long-distance identification (1~10 meters)

Benefits:

Increase the speed of warehousing and retrieval, reduce manual registration and queuing;

Avoid wrong collection, missing collection or missing mold transfer records;

Automatically generate warehousing and retrieval logs for easy responsibility tracing

2.Production line usage monitoring and automatic collection of usage records

Functional points:

When the mold is enabled on the production line, it automatically identifies the activation time, equipment number, and team information;

The system records the duration, frequency, and batch of products produced each time the mold is used;

Real-time alarm for abnormal use and overload use.

Features:

Access the MES system through a fixed reader or handheld terminal at the workstation; upload data in real time to generate a “mold usage log”.

Benefits:

Avoid mixing or misusing molds and improve product consistency

Accurately record usage data to provide a data basis for quality traceability

Provide real data support for mold life management and lean production analysis.

3.Mold maintenance, inspection and repair management

Functional points:

Automatic warning after the cumulative number of mold uses/time reaches the preset threshold

The system reminds regular inspection, maintenance, and repair

Inspection data and maintenance records are automatically archived.

Features:

Data is recorded each time it is enabled, and the system dynamically determines the maintenance cycle based on usage;

Inspection can be operated with PDA or APP to achieve on-site electronic inspection.

Benefits:

Avoid abnormal downtime or product defects caused by mold maintenance beyond the due date;

Establish a standardized maintenance process to improve the quality of maintenance;

4.Mold search and positioning and anti-lost and anti-error management

Functional points:

Real-time tracking of mold location in large-scale factories;

Automatic alarm for abnormal movement (such as crossing the zone, theft);

The system displays the mold in storage/use/maintenance/transportation status.

Features:

RFID can be combined with positioning systems (such as UWB, Bluetooth AOA, RTLS, etc.);

The system background displays the mold location distribution map in real time

Benefits:

Eliminate the problem of chaotic stacking or missing molds

Reduce mold loss, misplacement and idleness

Improve the efficiency of cross-process/multi-factory mold allocation

5.Mold scrapping and life cycle management

Functional points:

Automatically count mold life data (such as number of uses, service life, maintenance frequency)

The system automatically determines whether the scrapping standard is met and automatically triggers the approval process;

Full records from procurement to scrapping form a complete life cycle data archive.

Features:

The label is bound to the mold data for a long time, and the information cannot be tampered with;

Supports integration with the ERP system and automatic docking with the asset ledger.

Benefits:

Clear scrapping standards to avoid product quality problems caused by overuse

Improve mold asset transparency and support cost accounting and report analysis

Avoid human intervention in mold life management
