Automated Process Control


Car Assembly
Scirocco IRID is a proven system for car assembly lines. ID Tags identify the carriers in the body shop and magnetically mounted Data Tags carry manufacturing data for the car along the assembly line. Readers and writers supply the data to control the process at every stage.
ID tags withstand chemicals as well as mechanical shock and vibrations. The Scirocco system operates stably in the hostile body-shop environment, where strong electromagnetical fields and lots of metal rule out other identification technologies.
Automated Component Manufacture
In component manufacturing plants Scirocco tags can be act as "Kanban" cards for work in progress providing positive identification of material and parts as well as carrying process control parameters.
Codeway is able to link Scirocco tag reader/writers into its intelligent identification systems for printing labels and recording production data.
Automated Identification in Processing Industries - examples
The Scirocco system is a solution for automated identification and tracking of materials and intermediates in industries from metal processing to food.
Metals Scirocco has proved to be the only viable solution in one plant for identifying batches of metal powder in metal containers for processing. It is using special tags modified to accept sensor signals and transmit them as user data identify the powder and clear it for processing.
Food Automatic identification of batches of ingredients in recirculating containers is a problem in food processing where there is metal and/or moisture. The Scirocco system is suitable for these conditions.
Data Tags hold ingredient ID together with dates, times, and weights to ensure products are produced to specification. Back to back reader/writers unit keep track of transfers into high risk areas.
