Controlling-Based Intelligent Identification Technology

In today’s prevailing buyers market, enterprises are more and more facing the necessity to meet the increasingly high requirements on delivery lead time, delivery reliability, quality and costs. Thus, the illustration, analysis and interpretation of logistic production processes becomes more and more important. For fulfilling the requirements mentioned before the production planning and control (PPC) can be supported efficiently by suitable controlling concepts. However, analyses from the Institute of Production Systems and Logistics (IFA) prove that current controlling concepts possess deficits. In this context the RFID-Technology can produce a relief. By using this technology it is possible to identify and track products contact-free and in real time. Nowadays, the applications are limited because the existing chips can only save, delete or rewrite the collected data. Therefore, the Institute of Transport und Automation Technology (ITA) developed a smart label with an integrated CPU. This so called Pre-Processing Label (PPL) is able to calculate measures on the product. Based on this chip, the development of a decentralized participative controlling concept is presented in this publication that leads to a significant increase of the PPC-quality.
