With the continuous development of science and technology, radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has been widely used in many industries, and its efficient and accurate data processing capabilities provide strong support for the automation and intelligence of production lines. In the chocolate production line, the application of RFID technology can greatly improve production efficiency and reduce production costs, while ensuring product quality and traceability. This solution is designed to be the practical application of RFID technology in the candy and chocolate production line.
Industrial RFID1. Project background
Chenkong intelligent RFID product equipment ensures the transparency of mold logistics in the candy production equipment of a food processing factory.
With a high-quality confectionery production plant, the company has become an advanced production equipment factory in the industry. While maintaining tradition and focusing on quality, continuous innovation is also the key to their success. Today, with the help of Chenkong's intelligent RFID industrial identification system, the company can provide customers with optimized production, molding, product tracking, and production data management.
Chocolate production is a complex and multi-stage process. The company therefore decided to introduce RFID as an innovative technology for its confectionery production.
Second, the application plan
Mold storage
For this purpose, all plastic molds (which can number thousands depending on the factory) are equipped with RFID data carriers. The read/write head is permanently installed on the production line in the warehouse and in the production area as well as in the mobile collection system, and the progress of each mould can be tracked via the ** control station. Within the production line, the database-oriented RFID industrial identification system helps ensure mold and product traceability, process optimization, and production statistics improvement.
Chocolate production
In the raw material storage link of the chocolate production line, RFID technology is used to identify and trace the raw materials. RFID tags are pasted on the packaging of each raw material to record the origin, production date, batch and other information of the raw materials. The RFID reader can quickly read the tag information to realize the rapid warehousing and inventory management of raw materials. At the same time, the system can automatically remind or adjust the production plan according to the shelf life and inventory of raw materials to ensure the continuous operation of the production line.
When the forklift automatically transports the mold to the production line, the specific mold is read through the RFID card reader, which proves that the A mold frame has been used in the current production line. When the robotic arm places the mold in the assembly line position, the RFID reader on the assembly line will read the electronic tags on the mold one by one to determine that the mold has been used in the assembly line to achieve process control and maximum production transparency.
Mold cleaning
When the mold is used up and enters the cleaning line, the RFID card reader on the cleaning line reads the mold label to determine that the mold has been cleaned, and then generates a hygiene control report, and finally transports the mold to the corresponding shelf position through the RFID forklift to realize the unmanned operation of the whole process.
Third, the use of advantages
The chocolate production line uses a complete RFID solution, which can realize fully automatic inventory management and permanent control of inventory in terms of mold storage; In terms of chocolate production, it can effectively manage the whole cycle of chocolate production, control the production quality, and achieve transparent production; In terms of mold cleaning, the cleaning cycle can be statistically analyzed, and the molds that need to be cleaned can be reliably proposed to prolong the service life of the mold.
Fourth, the expected effect
Improve production efficiency: RFID technology realizes the rapid identification and traceability of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products, reduces manual operation links, improves the automation degree of the production line, and thus improves production efficiency.
Reduce production costs: Through the accurate inventory management of RFID technology, the waste and backlog of raw materials are reduced, and the inventory cost is reduced. At the same time, real-time monitoring of the production process can reduce defective products and scrap in the production process, further reducing production costs.
Improve product quality: RFID technology can help enterprises monitor the key parameters of the production process in real time to ensure the stability of product quality. At the same time, the product traceability system can improve consumers' trust in the product and enhance the brand image.
Strengthen traceability and anti-counterfeiting capabilities: RFID technology provides strong traceability and anti-counterfeiting functions for chocolate products, which helps enterprises maintain market order and protect consumer rights and interests.
V. Conclusions
The application of RFID technology in chocolate production line has broad prospects and practical value. Through the implementation of this program, enterprises can realize the automation, intelligence and efficiency of the production line, improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, improve product quality and traceability. With the continuous development and improvement of RFID technology, it is believed that its application in the chocolate production line will be more extensive and deeper.
