Architecture of the RFID systems used in production systems
Journal Title: Proceedings in Manufacturing Systems - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 4
Abstract
This paper presents a case study which points out the way the radio frequency identification RFID systems are integrated into automated production flows from an information flow viewpoint. For the experimental research, we used an RFID system with a reader, a programmable logical controller for storing the data in a common database and a computer numerical control machine. Thus, two objectives were pursued: the presentation of the main types of architectures specific to radio frequency identification systems in terms of their performances and the way of storing the information specific to the processings performed by a computer numerical control machine for the workpieces or the workpieces to be processed. This was possible by attaching an RFID tag to each palette on which a workpiece to be processed was positioned. By means of the RFID system, we could identify the information on the processings to be performed or we could write information about the processings performed for each workpiece. In implementing and operating the radio frequency identification system, the positioning of RFID readers in relation to the tag palettes on the structure of the tool machine was taken into account to avoid potential interference
