Balluff Sensors > Offline data collection with Balluff RFID Handhelds.
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the use of a wireless non-contact system that uses radio-frequency electromagnetic fields to transfer data from a tag.
A lot of offline data collection and tracking use radio frequency identification-enabled handsets, this could be vital to good results in both manufacturing and logistics processes.
Having the ability to read and write data to RFID tags by making use of handheld programming units can simply and effectively manage the information available, in addition to significantly broadening the presence and usefulness of the process.
This is also the same with manual rework stations or at manual delivery and inventory collection points, for example shipping/receiving or stocking areas. The availability and access to the process data at these areas might lead to an enormous decrease in manufacturing and processing mistakes.
Balluff offline rework stations
Balluff RFID offline rework stations have quick access with easy transmission of RFID tag data, improved visibility of data at manual access points. Also there is a substantial error decrease in manual processes with dependable data. Easy and reliable access and change data on an RFID tag when using RFID- enabled handheld unit within an offline rework station for palletized manufacturing. The hand held can be used to view the various components manufacturing data, for example part identification, assembly progress and testing results. This process gets rid of needing paper documents, therefore error-prone paper based part or rework information, which saves both time and expense. A handheld also allows operators to write rework data to the tag to keep up the optimum field of vision during the entire process.
Balluff closed loop logistics stations
Simple RFID reader interface, battery operated, wireless access and data transmission to networks and combine RFID with barcode reading capacity. With an RFID-enabled handheld unit, logistics written onto a RFID tag on totes or skids is generally simply accessed or changed. Data for instance identification of contents, destinations for processing or storage and retrieval location data is instantly available. These handhelds also assist barcode readers and wireless WAN or Bluetooth option so that you can write or retrieve data from network servers. This allows maximum, real-time visibility for the closed-loop logistics system.
