Cogiscan Develops Reel-based Traceability
November 2, 2007 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
BROMONT, ON, Canada Cogiscan Inc. and partners Fuji, Juki, and Siemens introduced the first version of their RFID Smart Reel Detection system, which uses RFID technology on component reels to improve traceability and eliminate manual barcode scanning.
The reel RFIDs can be associated with a selected set of feeders, off-line setup area, or storage location. The tooling complements Cogiscan's Smart Feeder system, and can be used independently or with an intelligent feeder system. It boosts traceability and reduces the impact of human error, said André Corriveau, co-president, product development, Cogiscan. It supplies automation to the overall data-acquisition process, he added.
Panasonic Factory Solutions Company of America partnered with Cogiscan to develop an RFID smart feeder kit for the Panasonic IPAC pick-and-place machine in early 2007. To learn more about that development, click here.
Cogiscan and its partners will highlight the tooling at Productronica, November 1316 in Munich, Germany, Booth A5.249. For more information, visit www.cogiscan.com.
