Bell Group Uses CSB-System Wireless Identity Code Information System to Optimize Management

The Bell Group, located in Basel City, is a leader in the Swiss meat processing industry. The Bell Group was founded by Samuel Bell in 1869 and the company has developed rapidly under his leadership. Today, the company has 3,500 employees and annual sales of 890 million euros. It has become a leader in the industry in Europe.

In 2002, the company invested 50 million euros to build a new factory in Oensingen in Switzerland. In order to better manage the relevant information in the factory, the company adopted the wireless identification technology provided by CSB.

About Wireless ID RFID Technology

Wireless identification technology (also known as RFID technology) is actually a technology that can read and store data without any touch or visual contact. Wireless ID technology can not only achieve the purpose of reducing costs, but also has a very unique cognitive characteristics, because it can completely replace all manual information operations. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the need to harmonize the use of wireless identity codes with enterprise-specific processes and running enterprise resource planning systems. Only in this way can wireless information be used to reduce costs and create a competitive advantage in cross-domain information integration.

Open-air wireless identification terminals are so-called transponders or precision chips. These necessary distinguishers are used to distinguish the objects bound to them. Each identification code is the unique identification name of the object, but the marked object is, on the other hand, used as an economic management only when it is first integrated in the enterprise resource planning system and the data in the intersection area. Each individual identifier in the database is followed by a lot of information that is arbitrary and possibly connected to more information.

Here, we will introduce to you the pulse transponder: for each single transponder, it can continuously send the identification code stored on it. From this perspective, we call it the active transponder; the passive transponder is only Send stored data under electromagnetic induction command. When it comes to initiative and passiveness, transponders will be distinguished by the standard of information. A transponder either holds an accurate number or provides customizable storage and transfer possibilities for large amounts of information. In order for the transponder to receive and transmit data without any touch, an antenna is needed. Its function is to receive the information transmitted by the transponder and continue to transmit to the receiver, such as the enterprise resource planning system.

Application of CSB-RFID Wireless ID Scheme in Bell Group

1) The following picture will show the container used to assemble the goods. The CSB reference number to assist the identification of the goods on the distribution box. In addition to this, two passive transponders are installed on the long side of each distribution box, so that the number of the distribution box will directly transfer the information of the empty box to the CSB information system and be connected. . In the following process, the box will be automatically recognized and connected to its own pulse transmitter identification code in the same database. This completely replaces all manual data processing operations.

2) On the split conveyor belt, the animal's body will be divided according to the segmentation plan after being scanned by the label of the place of production, and then assembled into the distribution box. Upon arrival at the end of the split conveyor, the crew will be shown on the CSB Industrial Computer with the number and the number of the pan from the beginning of the split conveyor; the staff will then follow the split plan for the number of items in the container. The display highlights, confirms or corrects the operation, and all the data is written and saved in the CSB information system. Each data statement contains all information on the item number, weight, number of items, minimum warranty date, item number, and container number. Only on this basis can all the information contained in the distribution box be completely connected with the pulse transmitter.

3) The traceback tag previously confirmed on the CSB industrial computer will be automatically printed out on the CSB printer and hung on the distribution box. Although the emphasis here is on retrospective tags, it is also arranged with each dispatch box and its corresponding reference number and associated pulse transmitter. Each item has its own retrospective tag.

4) Through a multi-level delivery system, all the distribution boxes will be automatically controlled and delivered to destinations in elevated warehouses while ensuring that the resources are optimal; at the same time, antenna readers located in front of the branching port will The reading and analysis work is performed by the information sent by the pulse transmitter, which also realizes the automatic control of the distribution box.

5) Because of the warehouse control system that integrates the conveyor belts of the lower and upper shelves, it is possible to overcome the problem of height differences within the system. In addition, the control of the distribution box on the conveyor belt is well coordinated with the bearing capacity of the high and low rack conveyor belts, which fully guarantees the full-load working status of the high and low rack conveyor belts. This also creates a continuous stream of raw material supply within the company.

6) The transporter with a pulsed sender reads out the actual weight of each container and does not require special stops. The combination of the pulse transmitter and the transporter will directly transfer the actual weight of the distribution box to the CSB information system, thus ensuring the data generation and quality of the entire CSB information system.

7) The warehouse machine manager reads the identification information on the conveyor again and places the distribution box in a designated location in the elevated warehouse. Such warehousing operations are completely automated, and they also automatically combine idle resources in the warehouse.

The advantages of CSB-RFID wireless ID technology are:

The use of wireless ID technology puts the Bell Group's entire value-creation process to optimum optimization. The single ingredient and product information required from the storage of the goods, to the production, to the distribution, etc., are directly processed and preserved in the place of occurrence, and at the same time, the traceability of the goods in each process and the high quality supply are guaranteed. The request.

The seamless management of information does not require more time, money and manpower. It means that the era of manual data processing has been replaced by wireless transmission technology. It is also relying on such advanced technology and perfect information management system Bell Group. The overall productivity has improved significantly.
