Objective for Introducing an RFID System

Productivity Improvements   

• Improving Quality and Traceability

* Human errors can be avoided.

* Production process history can be controlled by writing information to an inspection data Tag.

* Optimal production information and defective products can be traced.

• Increased Yields, Shorter Lead Times, Greater Flexibility

* Production line changes can be dramatically speeded up by reading the model data in the Tag and automatically changing processes.

* By designing the production line in a series of modules, functions can be expanded or changed by adding or exchanging module units.

• Lower Costs, Less Inventory

* It is possible to reduce costs for losses or mistakes due to human error.

    e.g. mis-reading characters from a sheet of paper, mistakes made when writing information elsewhere, etc.

* Storing model data onto Tags makes it possible to respond to the diversification of product needs.

• Thorough Equipment Control, Lower Investment, Fewer Production Line

* Lines can be operated more efficiently by configuring multi-product, mixed lines with switching processes based on quality information.

* The burden on the host computer can be lessened by distributing information, and lines can be started up more quickly.

Environment    

• Energy Savings, Recycling, ISO14001

* Information management by Tag memory can help to achieve paperless operations.

* Tags with read/write capability are used, so a system can be introduced without generating new waste materials.

* The RFID System lets you add functions in module units to your present system, making it easy to utilize existing assets.
