In modern manufacturing, Manufacturing Execution System (MES) plays a key role, and material information collection is one of its core functions.MES achieves precise material information collection through various technological means, providing strong support for the production process.
The main way for MES to collect material information
1、Application of Automatic Identification Technology
Barcode technology is a common way for MES to collect material information.When materials are stored, staff attach a unique barcode to each batch of materials, which includes key information such as material name, specifications, quantity, and production date.When materials are transferred to the production process, workers use scanning devices to read barcodes, and the MES system can obtain real-time dynamic data such as the time and process of material input into production.This method is low-cost and easy to implement, and is widely used in various manufacturing industries.Barcode scanning: Record material batches, specifications, and other information through one-dimensional/two-dimensional codes
Another advanced material information collection technology is radio frequency identification (RFID).Unlike barcodes, RFID tags can be read without physical contact.In complex production environments, materials with RFID tags can be automatically identified at various stages of transportation, storage, and production, and information can be quickly transmitted to MES systems.For example, in automated production lines, when materials pass through specific sensing areas, RFID readers instantly complete information collection, greatly improving data collection efficiency and reducing errors caused by manual intervention.RFID radio frequency identification: realizing non-contact and batch reading of material data
Application value of material information collection
1、Production and operation
Real time visual management: tracking material status and location throughout the process
Mistake proof and fool proof: prevent misuse, mixing and omission of materials
Accurate traceability: establish a complete material map
2、Quality control level
Batch management: precise control of material validity and FIFO
Quality Association: analyze the relationship between material attributes and product quality
Rapid recall: accurate positioning and rapid isolation of problem materials
Through the collection of material information in the MES system, enterprises can realize the full link digital management from raw materials to finished products, and lay a data foundation for intelligent manufacturing.
