Research On The Application Of RFID Technology In Automotive Assembly Line

With the continuous development of the automotive industry, some traditional manufacturing methods and techniques can’t meet the requirements of the modern automobile manufacturing. Traditional automobile assembly line is usually an assembly line only assembled automobiles of the same type, and every type of automobile configuration is single. So the assembly line is simple works, high efficiency, and less error-prone. Today, with the development of the automobile industry, automobiles are more and more diversified, personalized, which requires an automobile assembly line can be fitted with different types of automobiles and configurations of the same type automobiles are diverse. Then, if the assembly process of the assembly line is low level of information and unable to deal with assembly data collection and assembly verification work, it is easy to assembly low efficiency, high error rate, the assembly is not master in time, etc.The data collection of traditional automobile assembly line mainly relies on manual acquisition mode and barcode acquisition mode. The assembly process of information technology mainly relies on the process kanban. Assembly verification mainly relies on human judgments of the workers. This assembly ways there are Assembly data acquisition is not timely, the collection efficiency is low, data collecting is always error, using of the collection technology is difficult; process kanban information can’t be updated timely, the update procedure information is complexity, wastes a lot of manpower, material and waste of resources, information update is always error; Assembly validation more time and validation more error-prone problems. In order to solve these problems, this thesis proposes the use of RFID technology to automobile assembly plant.In order to using well RFID technology to the automobile assembly line, the thesis researches the use of RFID technology at home and abroad to understand various problems of RFID technology in the use and RFID technology. Analyzes will appear leakage reading、misreading、multi-tag collision、the metal shield and other issues in the applications of RFID technology. Proposed the using model of RFID technology in the automobile assembly process and the problem solving methods and implementation strategies at combined with the actual situation of the auto companies. And finally According to some issues that using RFID technology for assembly line data acquisition、assembly information、assembly verification, Uses Visual Studio2010and SQL Server2008software as the main development tools to complete the development of a prototype system, and give the running instance. It has the great engineering significance and practical value.Through the introduction of RFID technology, the assembly shops of automobile manufacturing enterprises achieve information of automotive assembly process, assembly information timely and accurate collection, assembly verification function, and then achieve fast, accurate, personalized, transparent assembly of the automobile.
