Information Model of the Automated System of Assembling Plant Identification and Traceability

The introduction of an automated identification and tracking system in the existing production processes is a promising and important direction in the development of the industry. Such technologies are especially effective for large-scale assembling plants, where accounting for more materials and components in all technological and controlled operations is the key factor for improving the efficiency of organization and scheduling of production. Two technologies are considered as means of identification: QR coding and RFID technology. In the framework of mass production, where products are produced in large volumes, it is advisable to combine identification technologies. As an example of the implementation of the information model of the automated system of identification and traceability of products, an abstract production process of multi-operation assembling production is presented. The proposed information model of ASITP is sufficient to track the entire production chain by the product ID, the time and date of manufacture. To understand the application of the proposed information model of ASITP, the algorithm of product tracking for the final stage of production, quality control department and finished product warehouse is considered. ​The implementation of the production traceability system will allow solving the following problems: achieve “transparency” of the production process management system and traceability of the production cycle; increase productivity; provide operational control of production facilities; reduce defects due to early detection of non-conforming products. This model has the ability to expand and integrate with other enterprise information systems.
