Industrial Logistics and WIP: Pirelli towards the Smart Factory with Eximia

The Italian multinational of the Tyre world chooses our RFID solutions for the advanced Work In Progress.

Pirelli relied on our experts in RFID technologies to start an experimental project in the field of tire traceability. In fact, sector regulations require companies to track the product during its entire life cycle.

Customer needs

  • Locate and identify semi-finished products and components along the production chain
  • Identify and track the product (tire) throughout its life cycle
  • Record physical measurements of electromagnetic emissions for regulatory purposes
  • Identify components and tools for tire production

The approach

Pirelli turned to us as a trusted advisor for challenging RFID projects. The goal was to validate and test as many RFID components as possible (readers, antennas, tags) to do all the necessary comparative assessments.

We selected and brought into the field several systems: those with xArray technology that identify a passive tag and locate it in space; fixed readers with external antennas and compact industrial readers with built-in antenna.

On the software side, we have implemented our intelligent Middleware able to connect the field technologies with the customer’s software platforms.

ADVANTAGES


  • Rapid localization and real-time tracking of tires throughout their life cycle
  • Complete digitization of manufacturing activities
  • Reduced manual processes, increased efficiency
  • Maximum convergence between the physical and digital worlds, thanks to Middleware that connects every technology and guarantees reliable data
