Digital solutions
RFID technology
As well as constant optimisation of machining times, the reduction of set-up and non-productive periods also always play an important role in a flexible production environment. In addition to machine concepts with optimised set-up times, KAPP NILES offers intelligent components.
For set-up processes the technological data of components and tools is made available to the controller by using RFID technology, which enable an identification without any contact between antennas and RFID chips in the machine. In order to correctly identify the components, the operator is guided through intuitive step by step menu navigation, thus reducing the possibility for faulty inputs.
All necessary geometric and process-related data, which unambiguously describes the respective component, is carried along on the data carrier and is updated during installation or removal.
The key advantages of RFID technology are that it prevents incorrect component installation, it automatically reads and transfers component data, it prevents incorrect entries, which results in shortening of the overall input time, as well as preventing downtimes due to incorrect component installation.
The machines are designed to also handle non-RFID components. Maximum flexibility for customer requirements is guaranteed.
