Edge computing and RFID
Harting's Mica goes into logistics
Together with PCO and Nemetris, Harting is demonstrating how handling, status and system data can be collected and analyzed along the supply chain by combining edge computing with RFID technology.
Logistics in particular, with its material handling systems, benefits from the new Integrated Industry solutions. This is where Harting's Mica edge computing system can be perfectly integrated, the company believes, pointing to the small computer's robust design, modular hardware system and open software architecture. With the Mica Network, Harting has formed a user organization of currently 27 companies in the field of system integration, software and hardware development that use Mica for complete Industry 4.0 solutions. The two partner companies PCO and Nemetris, for example, use Mica as an RFID reader with edge computing capabilities for their own solutions in the logistics sector.
Container management and Tool Ident
PCO is a showcase for practice-oriented production order processing. The PCO Integration Layer plays a central role in the integration and interaction of different systems. AutoID-supported container management (mobile handheld) and Tool Ident (stationary in the machine) are networked and visualized with machine, process and production order data. Supplemented by database-based process data storage, predictive maintenance can also be introduced.
Just-in-sequence software
The just-in-sequence solution JIS from Nemetris is closely linked to production and maps the entire just-in-sequence process, from receiving the delivery call-off via EDI, sequencing and demand-synchronized production control to shipping and implementing traceability. The solution has a modular structure and can be integrated into an existing infrastructure. On the one hand, this ensures lean and smooth processing and enables series production up to batch size one. On the other hand, all data remains in one system, which enables seamless traceability. as
