Plant Floor Control System has error-free labeling solution.
Press Release Summary:
SPEDE middleware production tool for material tracking and plant floor control includes Sensor-driven Labeling(TM) module, which ensures label data and format are accurate and match container contents. Module uses wired or wireless pushbuttons, PLC output signals, IR beams, or other sensor technology to trigger printed label as parts are packed into containers. This eliminates PC-based, manual entry errors and satisfies MMOG/LE requirements for labeling accuracy.
Original Press Release:
Absolute Error-Free Labeling Technology Introduced
Cleveland, OH October 26, 2004 Barcode Data Systems, a software and systems integration company specializing in real-time material control and automotive compliance solutions, has announced Sensor-driven Labeling,(TM) a process that makes labeling errors virtually impossible.
Sensor-driven Labeling is a new module of SPEDE, a middleware production tool for material tracking and plant floor control. SPEDE integrates inventory labeling and RF scanning into processes from receiving all the way through shipping. This enables a supplier to identify, track and control all inventory on-site by individually serialized unit, with complete accuracy, in real time.
Sensor-driven Labeling uses wired or wireless pushbuttons, PLC output signals, IR beams or other sensor technology to trigger a printed label as parts are packed into containers. It effectively eliminates the confusion and errors that occur when operators use a PC to manually elect a format, enter data and match printed labels to sealed containers. SPEDE sensor-driven labeling ensures that label data and format are accurate and match the container contents. It satisfies MMOG/LE requirements for labeling accuracy.
SPEDE Sensor-driven Labeling was developed under a broader Lean Manufacturing initiative; it makes a significant contribution toward on-time delivery performance and increased internal efficiencies. It is simpler and less costly than direct parts marking. It is an excellent interim solution prior to implementation of laser and machine vision devices, which have high capital costs.
SPEDE interfaces to direct parts marking systems to supply serial number data to encode the parts and provide transaction and database mining upon reading the encoded parts.
SPEDE's 130 imbedded label formats comply with AIAG B-10, 2D, Global Shipping, OEM and major Tier requirements.
