Your Objective:

You need to improve your manufacturing and operations processes to positively verify the right label is going on the right component, the right components are being assembled and shipped to the right destination, or ensure each manufactured component is uniquely identified and can be traced back to its original manufactured lot.  Your customers are requesting lot traceability or error-proofing processes be in place for the products you ship to them.

Your Problem:

There are no controls or processes currently in place that can effectively handle these requirements.  Modifications to your host ERP or manufacturing control software are expensive and take time.  You need a dependable solution that uses proven technology which can be easily integrated into your operations or line.

Your Answer:

In-line production control, lot traceability, and error-proofing solutions for manufacturing from General Data.

General Data can design and install a solution that seamlessly works in-line with your operations, production or assembly lines. This system will enable you to uniquely identify each manufactured part, eliminate wrong-part errors, and validate the right component for the right assembly going to the right customer.

How It Works:

General Data’s production control, lot traceability and error-proofing manufacturing solutions utilize customized controller units that can directly interface with PLCs or other devices. The controller units use the PLC data or other analog or digital input to print, apply and scan bar code labels that provide unique identification of parts. The controller units can also use this data to verify correct component assemblies and ensure the right parts are shipping to the right destination.

As the controller units interface directly with PLCs or other devices, there is no need for costly modifications to your host ERP or manufacturing control software.

Applications:

General Data’s in-line production control, lot traceability and error-proofing manufacturing solutions can be used in a variety of applications, including:

                 - Parts identification and validation

           - Work-in-process labeling

- Finished goods and pallet/container/tote labeling

Examples:

Examples of recent installations of General Data in-line production control, lot traceability and error-proofing solutions include: 

  • Automotive manufacturer labeling and tracking fuel tanks through immersion testing and on to final assembly.

  • Consumer goods manufacturer verifying the correct bottle on the production line is filled with the correct product.

  • Automotive component manufacturer verifying the correct parts are matched for assembly and put in the correct container tote for shipment.

  • Tier 2 supplier providing individual part identification for lot traceability on parts sent to tier 1 supplier.
