Traceability in the automotive industry

GRAIDWARE® automatically records every material movement along the internal logistics chain via RFID gates and readers. This includes incoming goods, storage areas, production stations through to dispatch or rejects. Every status change is immediately registered in the middleware and assigned to the corresponding object.

Advantage: Immediate location determination and process status at the touch of a button.

GRAIDWARE® defines logical production zones (e.g. waiting area, assembly, test bay) and automatically measures the time objects spend in these areas and the time they take to pass through them. The middleware continuously evaluates these movement patterns.

Benefits: The precise determination of KPIs such as dwell time, cycle time or material buffer allows data-based decisions for cycle optimization, bottleneck detection and set-up time reduction.

All recorded data is collected centrally and is evaluated and visualized in real time.  The dashboards are interactive and role-based - from the worker view to management reporting.

Application:

• Interactive dashboards for process managers
• Object search & localization in production
• Fast response options in the event of deviations or faults

GRAIDWARE® is highly customizable: processes, interfaces and workflows can be tailored precisely to the needs of your production environment - even in heterogeneous system landscapes.

Optimization potential is systematically uncovered through continuous data acquisition and analysis - e.g. via time series analyses, process comparisons or predictive analytics. In addition, quality-relevant parameters (e.g. temperature, vibration) can be integrated via RFID sensors.
