What does 'automobile assembly' entail?
Automobile assembly refers to the process of assembling automotive products, including complete vehicles and assemblies, where hundreds or even thousands of various components, having been inspected and deemed fit for use, are put together according to specific technical requirements. This process encompasses the assembly of complete vehicles, engines, transmissions, and other major components, making it one of the most crucial stages in the manufacturing process of automotive products.
Throughout the entire process, parts management is a key link that affects production efficiency and product quality. In traditional parts warehouses, paper labels are used as the main identification. When the warehouse system issues instructions for goods to be shipped in and out of the warehouse, after replenishing the goods, personnel can only manually check the material information on the paper labels to confirm that the replenishment is completed, and cannot provide systematic and data-based feedback on the replenishment results.
Since the incoming and outgoing of parts cannot be traced in real time, the parts warehouse will always be in a "black box" state. Problems with replenishment cannot be dealt with in a timely manner. It can also easily lead to inaccurate warehouse information and difficult accountability for missing materials, ultimately affecting production efficiency and product quality.
Minewtag Electronic Shelf Label (ESL) power digital transformation of automotive assembly plants
In an automobile assembly plant in North China, Minewtag Electronic shelf labels replaced the traditional paper cards in warehouse. Combined with cloud platform system management, it effectively solved the entry and exit problems caused by traditional paper warehouse labels and realized the management of auto parts digital upgrade.
The ESL electronic label with low-energy ink screen can quickly refresh the display content and update the warehouse material information in real time. Label and cloud platform system real-time linkage, Feed back the inbound and outbound information to the backend in a timely manner to achieve efficient and transparent parts management.
More accurate material management
In North China's automobile factory, the use of minewtag electronic labels as a position card, can display text, icons, tables, two-dimensional bar code and other elements, Display templates can be customized according to actual needs, and labels can be bound to corresponding data, quickly refresh the content through the bluetooth 5.0.
It eliminates the need for paper label production, printing, and installation, significantly enhances inventory accuracy and material management efficiency.
Inbound and outbound information is traceable
Minewtag electronic labels combined with the intelligent cloud platform, optimized the automotive parts in and out of the warehouse process, so that the material management is more secure and reliable. Taking parts replenishment as an example, the staff first determines the replenishment area and selects the corresponding shelves in the background of the system. After finding a specific warehouse position, the background pushes the intelligent flashing instruction of the LED light to the label, and the label lights up to guide the personnel to quickly find the location of the parts. After the replenishment is completed, the personnel only need to operate the buttons on the label, and the ESL electronic label will automatically synchronize the replenishment information to the cloud platform and update the inventory information in real time.
As a result, the in/out process is safer and more efficient, which not only avoids human errors, but also enables managers to more accurately grasp the quantity and location of parts, so as to take timely measures such as replenishment or redeployment to ensure the continuous operation of the production line.
In addition, the cloud platform supports docking and integration with the internal system of the enterprise, the data of ESL electronic label can be shared in time and highly integrated with the production process, providing reliable support for the enterprise's refined management and decision-making.
In the field of automobile assembly, Minewtag ESL electronic labels are an important part of digital transformation. By updating inventory information in real time and improving the security and traceability of the inbound and outbound process, ESL electronic labels not only improve production efficiency, but also bring smarter parts inventory management solutions to enterprises.
From "black box" to "transparent", this change has enhanced the controllability of the production process and increased the competitive advantage of automobile manufacturing companies. With the continuous innovation of technology, the application of ESL electronic tags in the field of automobile assembly will continue to deepen, injecting vitality into the digital transformation of the industry, and helping the automobile manufacturing industry move towards an intelligent and efficient future.
