A sense of security is built by trust, and trust is built by transparency. At a time when promoting green health, the safety of food and drugs has become the focus of people's attention, and the non-disclosure or non-transparency of the manufacturing process will make us more suspicious of our already worried. If the finished product cannot be traced, once there is a problem, it will not be possible to give an explanation to all consumers, and more importantly, it will not be possible to give corresponding remedies for the problem product.
In response to these issues closely related to people's livelihood, as a manufacturing enterprise, how can we contribute to ensure the safety, transparency and traceability of the entire process? In today's modernization, we naturally need high-tech to help. Three product traceability solutions from Balluff allow you to record product information in real time, facilitate tracking and rectification, and correct errors in the first place.
RFID identification systems from Balluff – the outstanding assistant for reliability and transparency
Industrial Identification RFID RFID for material identification, proven traceability, tool management for advanced manufacturing plants.
Our industrial-grade BIS RFID identification systems are at the highest level in terms of handling and assembly, goods production and storage, intralogistics and access control. Even driverless transport systems can be managed via the BIS trouble-free operating tool.
The BIS coding block can record the entire production process of any part in all batches and store it for a long time, which makes it possible to enable a tracking application for the product during the production process and store all the data for later traceability, so that errors can always be avoided. Defective parts are tracked and returned or corrected. The identification process is completely automatic, reliable and fast. Balluff Industrial RFID manages a large number of different types of components and controls processes automatically.
Industrial RFID from Balluff ensures high reliability and excellent quality, even in harsh environments. Balluff coding blocks are resistant to shocks, vibrations, high electrical interference, inductive interference and electromagnetic interference and are insensitive to corrosive materials. Products made with RFID from Balluff Industries are known for their high quality.
Balluff Industrial RFID offers four different systems as well as a wide range of components for a wide range of applications. One system is not enough to meet the requirements of different applications, such as:
Vision Solutions from Balluff – the perfect partner for modern production
The BVS smart camera from Balluff inspects parts in 360° and reads barcodes and 2D codes. For error prevention or demanding quality checks and part positioning.
Smart cameras are easy to handle and open up a wide range of applications for processing images according to specific needs. It allows you to transfer data directly to the controller. Intelligent analysis algorithms output results in a definable format via the process interface. You can store the test report for verification along with the relevant images. Software, manuals and diagnostics are integrated into the smart camera and can be easily recalled when you need it via a graphical interface. Another advantage: You can also add sensors via IO-Link to create the ideal process.
Identification, positioning, and quality control solutions
Traceability
Optical identification simplifies the traceability of all data. Today, when it comes to traceability, there are smart cameras that can read barcodes, QR codes and plain text quickly and reliably in the process.
peculiarity
■ Code quality analysis
■ Textual analysis without teaching
■ Transfer reference information from PLC
Intuitive quality control
The smart camera checks all parts, including their production stage: Is the part intact and defective? Are the dimensions, distances, and locations correct? Are the parts properly aligned? The biggest advantage: All steps can be easily taught.
peculiarity
■ Flexible use of analysis tools
■ Simplify operation through user teaching function
■ Result display optimization
Handheld scanners from Balluff – the best companion for your budget
In order to provide our customers with the perfect product for their application, we offer two different versions, the BVS HS-Q series (left image below) and the BVS HS-P Series (right image below).
The BVS HS-Q is an excellent price/performance ratio and reads all commonly used 1D, stacked, 2D and postal codes quickly and reliably at all angles and with jitter. This series is suitable for reading encodings on documents, encoding labels, screens, and background faces with less reflections.
With a maximum reading distance of 40 cm, the BVS HS-Q is designed for easy use by the operator and confirms the success of the reading with a chime and display. They are also available in a wireless version, with the scanner being able to read up to 25 m from the base. With a built-in USB or RS232 interface, 1.5 m drop protection and IP 42 protection, it is safe to use every day. The product quality is light (200g), which is in line with human habits.
Thanks to its ability to read laser/dot codes, the BVS HS-Q is also suitable for production-related applications. In addition, the product can be tracked and traced by reading the code of the direct marking.
The BVS HS-P is suitable for harsh environments and reads all commonly used 1D, stacked and 2D codes quickly and reliably.
The high-precision (HD) version reliably reads high-resolution codes (1D 2.5 mil resolution) as well as large area codes (up to A4 size). The version of the component direct callout code (DP) reads the most commonly used codes. Like the BVS HS-Q, BVS HS-P is easy to operate and can be read visually and audibly.
In addition, Balluff has a wireless version that can be read up to 100 m from the base. Use an external Bluetooth interface for integration. The BVS HS-P can also be used in harsh environments, as it is robust and reliable thanks to its IP 65 degree of protection and drop protection of up to 2.0 m.
