Pain Points
It is essential to gather the QR code from the edge of the custom furniture panels and link it to process variables like temperature, pressure, speed, and edge band consumption information from the manufacturing machinery. However, because there are so many different panel sizes and specifications, there are a number of challenges with automatic code reading.
- Wide scanning range: Because of the different panel sizes, the production line width can reach 1.5 meters.
- Barcode obstruction: During the edge banding process, the internal structure of small-sized panels may partially or totally obscure the QR code on them.
- Reflective surface materials: The panels' various surface materials, such as their glossy, matte, or metallic finishes, may have varied reflective qualities.
Values
- Reduce manual scanning and data entry time, reduce downtime on the production line, and increase overall productivity to increase production efficiency.
- Lower production costs: Minimize the need for manual labor, cut labor expenses, and prevent material waste and rework brought on by human error.
- Improve data management: Accurate and timely information is provided to the production management system by real-time data collection during the production process, giving customers a better understanding of the production status.
Solutions
Seuic X4 Industrial barcode reader:
- Use a four-device networking configuration as your networking solution. To address the problem of barcode occlusion on small-sized boards, a single device is placed at the board entry point. With each of the three additional devices positioned along the production line, the full width of the line is fully covered and there are no blind spots thanks to their combined 60cm field of view.
- Adjust polarizing lenses: These can successfully address the interference with reflection brought on by the board's surface.
