Steelwave Flex flexible on-metal RFID label for component logistics
Cars are built from thousands of different components and parts. In order to have the right components in the right place, at the right time of manufacturing, the pull production and logistics processes follow highly fine-tuned just-in-sequence material flows.
Steelwave Flex RFID labels connect the high-value components automatically to electronic data interface (EDI). This makes component tracking error-free and gives real-time data about the inventories. By that way Tier 1 part suppliers, OEMs and logistics providers can further optimise the inventory levels and gain resource savings.
High-value assets, many kinds, reliably identified
Steelwave Flex is designed to match with wide variety of components whether the component is plastic, metal, flat or curved. Labels flexible structure with its strong background adhesive makes it durable identification method for components ranging from car batteries to plastic parts.
Identification is reliable with various reader setups from dock-door reading setup to handheld reader verification.
Personalised with VDA-compatible data, ready for EDI
Steelwave Flex are personalised with customers data. This can mean for example VDA, Verband der Automobilindustrie, standard compatible encoding of the IC and visual marking of the labels surface. All this ensure interoperability among the automotive supply chains different players so that the components can be automatically connected to the electronic data interface (EDI)
