Leakage Testing in Automobile Production

Waterproof: RFID tags with sensor element test for leaks

Together with its partners Smartrac and Turck Vilant, Turck offers a fully automated leakage testing system in automobile production. The system is based on UHF-RFID technology and detects all leakages in car bodies without the need for any manual intervention.

For this the car body is fitted during the production process with self-adhesive tags at relevant points.

If the tag detects humidity, it reacts with a change in impedance, which is registered by the RFID read/write heads in the gates.

Key Facts

  • 100% inline quality control as faulty vehicles are immediately detected and removed
  • Considerable cost reduction as costly rework on leaking vehicles is obsolete
  • Greater customer satisfaction as complaints from the customer about leaks are a thing of the past
  • Turnkey system solution delivered by Turck once test phase and feasability study is successfully completed in the actual application

Applications

  • The system can be used in any production process that requires leakage testing
  • Special sensor tags that are powerded through read/write heads can be used in other closed applications
  • PD20 is a lightweight UHF handheld for connecting to smartphones or tablets

Turck is one of the leading manufacturers in industrial automation

With more than 4,500 employees in over 30 subsidiaries as well as sales partners in further 60 countries, the family-owned company is a one-stop shop for RFID Systems.

  • Holistic, modular RFID systems for production and logistics processes
  • Variety of HF and UHF read/write heads and data carriers for standard and special uses, such as carriers for high temperature conditions up to 210 degrees Celsius, for engine production or use in autoclaves
  • Parallel operation of proven HF and far-ranging UHF technology

RFID makes production and logistics processes highly transparent

RFID: Bridge between OT and IT "Track and trace with RFID is the key to reliable delivery times, error-free manufacturing and agile production." - Bernd Wieseler, Head of Product Management RFID at Turck RFID-based container management RFID makes production and logistics processes highly transparent, an ideal solution also for the efficient management of returnable transport items (RTIs). Multi Tag Reading If there are several containers with RFID tags on a pallet, for example, multi tag reading is required, i.e. the simultaneous reading of several RFID tags. RFID solutions from Turck and Turck Vilant Systems With end-to-end RFID solutions, movements and positions of all returnable containers can be continuously recorded and displayed. Five phases to success! White paper: “Reusable container management in real time” – Scan QR code and find out more!

Efficient and Transparent Goods Flows With Pallet Power

Digitalized goods distribution center with RFID technology Li Haiming, product engineer at Turck presents a digitalized goods distribution center with RFID technology in a Chinese energy and chemical company. Precise and Fast Inventory Control The contactless recording of incoming and outgoing goods via RFID provides a much higher transparency of the warehouse inventory. Information From the ERP System in Real Time The processes in the goods center were optimized with RFID communication. The read/write heads (bottom left) transfer material data via UHF RFID to the transport pallets. Up to Nine Stacked Empty Pallets Are Read Simultaneously Fewer manual operating steps and material costs. Rewritable tags enable multiple use of the transport pallets.

Save Duo for Industry and Intralogistics: HF-RFID + OPC-UA

Reduce hardware usage – increase transparency! The right digitization solution for every process? RFID technology from Turck in the HF and UHF frequencies ensures transparency and process reliability in numerous industrial and intralogistic processes. The unique identification of objects and the possibility to process captured data directly within a process step creates security, saves costs and streamlines the necessary hardware usage. An example? Turck's TBEN-L RFID module with integrated OPC UA server facilitates the connection of factory automation to the IT world. The module follows the companion specification for Auto-ID devices. This M2M communication standard enables users to switch devices between Auto-ID systems from different manufacturers. The uniform specification for the use of HF/UHF RFID and barcode readers saves companies from having to carry out manufacturer-specific programming. This simplifies the integration of the hardware and the transfer of acquisition data to the higher-level systems. Bernd Wieseler, Head of Product Management RFID, Turck, in an interview with RFID & Wireless IoT Global.

Absolutely safe production of child car seats with tag team

Tag-based system saves PLC and money! How the Industry 4.0 philosophy can be implemented in specific projects was recently demonstrated by Kirschenhofer Maschinen GmbH in a project for Britax Römer Kindersicherheit GmbH. Kirschenhofer implemented a tracking system for child seats without any kind of higher-level controllers or central databases and using an RFID tag on the product as the data pool. This tag contains the sequence of the assembly stations and documents all production steps. This ensures quality and makes it possible to later identify the product quickly and easily even in its packaging – at any location and without any access to a database. The successful project is based on the connection Kirschenhofer implemented from Turck's TBEN-S multiprotocol RFID I/O modules to the Labview system development software from National Instruments.
