Link between code scanner and traceability system
Optimizations in label recognition through to the improved user interface
The MODI IBox is the link between a simple code scanner and the Traceability System.
Make any conveyor belt into an intelligent process system. With the integrated SMEMA interfaces the IBox is placed between two machines integrated. It is not necessary to adapt the respective system control. The board transfer serves as a trigger for the code reading process. Any Scanner can be easily connected via RS232. The read code contents are saved via TCP/IP to the traceability.
This is where the check takes place: If the current board is allowed to process step? If approval is granted by the Traceability System, the SMEMA interfaces will be opened by the IBox and the board can be installed in the following machine retract. In the event of negative feedback a corresponding error message shown directly on the IBox display become.
IBOX SERVER SOFTWARE
The IBox server software is installed on the line master computer and can handle any number of Control IBoxes. These are connected to the software via a network. A graphical user interface allows the operator to monitor all processes at any time. monitor. Individual scripts allow each device to run through a process-specific workflow.
CONNECTION TO DOWNSTREAM SYSTEMS
The IBox can read the code contents directly to downstream machines pass on. An installation of a code scanner into the respective process system is therefore not absolutely necessary. The Connection can be made via RS232 or network can be realized.
