Coded reels to
eliminate manual identification
Cogiscan, Fuji, Juki and Siemens are working on a project to integrate RFID tags in component reels for on-machine identification
Cogiscan, in collaboration with leading equipment providers, is has begun a strategic RFID development project. This project involves attaching RFID tags directly to component reels and automatically detecting these tags inside placement machines and other locations. The tagging solution will enable complete factory automation as well as future supply chain applications, potentially leading to a future industry standard.
