(2) FORD System Integration
Actions
Select an appropriate RFID printer and applicator depending on the infrastructure, process andcustomer needs
Challenges
An automotive production line never stops (!)
2 printing stations (Primary and Backup)
Components need to support label rolls with 2000 labels – only one exchange per shift is possible
In that case the backup printer is active
Printer needs to check RFID label and jump over to next if there is a fault
Applicator takes RFID label and initializes it and place it on the window of the car
Results
We chose an Avery Denisson printer plus applicator and customized both to achieve FORDs requirements
