Enhancing Efficiency in Production & Operation via RFID:
About Xinhai Technology Group Co., Ltd.
Introduction
Xinhai Technology Group Co., Ltd. is an innovative enterprise specializing in the development and sale of precision plastic products and medical devices. With nine subsidiaries and four production bases, the group has established a reputation in China’s lighter industry. Recently, the company has expanded into the medical device sector, striving to become a leader in this specialized field. In response to growing production demands and efficiency challenges, Xinhai has embraced advanced RFID reader and RFID solutions provided by NATIONRFID.
Company Overview
Xinhai Technology Group is recognized for its excellence in research, product innovation, and quality control. Notably, the company has successfully navigated international trade challenges and established national standards in its industry. Its expansion into medical devices has been supported by strategic acquisitions and the establishment of research centers in Ningbo, Shenzhen, and Nanjing.
Challenges in Production
Before the upgrade, Xinhai faced several problems:
- Old Production Methods: The traditional methods could not keep up with a rapid increase in orders.
- Low Efficiency: The production lines were slow and often produced varying quality.
- Slow Manual Checks: Manual inspections took too much time and delayed shipments.
- High Dependence on People: Many steps needed manual work, which led to mistakes and delays.
- Large-Scale Production Issues: Handling large production batches required many workers, increasing costs and errors.
- Lack of Visibility: It was hard to monitor the production process in real time.
Solution with RFID Production & Operation Management
Xinhai worked with NATIONRFID to implement a new system. NATIONRFID provided special RFID readers (e.g Fixed RFID Reader G202, Handheld RFID Scanner G2), hardware, and custom software. This system gathers important data from every step of the production line. It then shares this data with other systems, such as MES, AGV, and warehouse systems. The process is monitored from raw material checks to the final product shipping.
Benefits
The new RFID Production & Operation Management system brought many improvements:
- Automatic Data Collection: The system collects data automatically, achieving a 99% data capture rate.
- Clear Production Process: It connects products, machines, and people, making the entire process clear.
- Better Inventory Control: The system reduced material inventory by 20% and increased delivery speed and accuracy by 30%.
- Improved Quality Control: Every step is checked to ensure quality and reduce errors.
- Data-Driven Decisions: By linking production with the internet and big data, Xinhai can make better decisions quickly.
