The role of the printer in the MES process
The main functions are as follows:
1. Data collection: The coding equipment can quickly and accurately collect the barcode, two-dimensional code and other information on the product, and transmit these data to the MES system. In this way, the MES system can know the specific information of the product in real time, such as the production date, batch number, serial number, etc.
2. Data verification: The coding equipment can verify the barcode, two-dimensional code, etc. of the product to ensure that it meets the specification requirements. Only verified products can proceed to the subsequent production process, thus guaranteeing reliable product quality and traceability.
3. Data recording: The coding equipment can record the barcode, two-dimensional code and other information of the product, and associate it with other relevant data. In this way, the MES system can establish a complete production data file to facilitate subsequent data analysis and query.
4. Traceability function: Through the coding equipment to print the product, the traceability function can be realized. When there are product quality problems or customer complaints, the MES system can quickly locate the specific production batch and production link through the coding information, so as to trace the source and solve the problem.
5. Production plan management: The coding equipment can be linked with the MES system to automatically carry out coding operations according to the production plan to improve production efficiency and automation. At the same time, the coding equipment can also realize automatic product sorting and boxing, which is convenient for subsequent warehousing and logistics management.
In short, the coding equipment plays an important role in the MES process, through the linkage with the MES system, the functions of data collection, verification, recording, traceability and production plan management are realized, and the controllability and efficiency of the production process are improved.
