In the cut tobacco warehouse of a cigarette factory, the customer needs to automatically store the pre-configured cut tobacco with different formulas. The SIEMENS Moby E radio frequency identification system is used to confirm the box number, tobacco grade and weight of the packaging of fabrics, warehousing storage, cigarette box out of the warehouse, turning box feeding, and remaining material recovery, so as to realize the storage of the tobacco production process. Managed automated production.
Client and project background
With the continuous improvement of the automation level of cigarette production, tobacco industry enterprises have continuously improved production efficiency and ensured product quality by establishing modern logistics management systems.
In the cut tobacco warehouse of a cigarette factory, the customer needs to automatically store the pre-configured cut tobacco with different formulas. The SIEMENS Moby E radio frequency identification system is used to confirm the box number, tobacco grade and weight of the packaging of fabrics, warehousing storage, cigarette box out of the warehouse, turning box feeding, and remaining material recovery, so as to realize the storage of the tobacco production process. Managed automated production.
Challenges and difficulties of the project
The customer’s factory produces many different brands of cigarettes, which are derived from different shredded tobacco recipes. In order to solve the contradiction between large-volume silk production and small-batch, multi-brand package production, according to the requirements of package production, precise process control such as the use of tobacco shreds, the recovery and storage of residual materials, and the rejection of unqualified products are realized. A box-type tobacco storage scheme is adopted. Because the cut tobacco of different ingredients cannot be distinguished manually from the appearance, it is necessary to adopt an automatic identification system to identify the brand and other information of the cut tobacco in the cut tobacco box, which can effectively avoid the mixing of tobacco brands and mistakes caused by the wrong feeding point of the tobacco box. Quality accidents such as brand names.
Application of Siemens products, technologies or solutions
The logistics of the tobacco industry can be divided into the internal logistics of the manufacturer’s production process, that is, the industrial logistics and the commercial logistics of the finished tobacco sales link. SIEMENS RFID system as an industrial-grade product has a wide range of applications in the tobacco industry. For example, it is used in tobacco leaf automated recipe library, cut tobacco library, auxiliary material library, finished product library, spare parts library, and realizes the digital automatic storage of raw and auxiliary materials and automated production of cigarettes. Logistics automation system.
According to the technological process of cigarette production, SIEMENS RFID can be applied to automatic leaf storage, automatic premixing of tobacco, and automatic unpacking of tobacco leaves and automatic recycling of packaging materials in the silk making process. In the link, SIEMENS RFID can be used for automatic supply of shredded tobacco, automatic storage of filter tips, automatic transportation and data collection of cigarettes and finished cigarette boxes, and automatic palletizing and unstacking of finished cigarettes.
For example, the customer used SIEMENS Moby E automatic system in order to realize the automatic storage management of the cut tobacco warehouse. The reader is installed at the lower part of the conveyor to complete the writing and reading of the cut tobacco box information. An electronic device is installed at the bottom of each cigarette box. Labels are used to store information such as the variety, grade, weight, time of entry and exit, and box number of tobacco leaves. In the feeding link, the upper management system assigns a certain storage lane in the storage area to discharge the tobacco box to the outbound shuttle car according to the principle of first in, first out. A Moby E electronic tag reader is installed on the outbound shuttle to check the electronic tag information on the box to confirm whether it is consistent with the scheduled information. If the information is consistent, it will be shipped out normally; if the information does not match the scheduled information, it will be returned After the original storage channel, the shredded tobacco consistent with the predetermined information is output again.
Performance and benefits
For tobacco companies, it is particularly important to adopt new equipment and upgrade technology.
By thoroughly implementing the “source” tracking solution and increasing its transparency in the supply chain, extracorporeal circulation can be effectively curbed or even eliminated, and it can play a huge role in tobacco monopoly management. At present, in order to meet the needs of the national tobacco industry’s “No. 1 Project” and realize the information tracking management of the entire process of production and distribution of finished cigarettes, more and more tobacco manufacturers are adopting SIEMENS RFID technology as the core of the automatic sorting of finished cigarettes. The pick-out library system organically combines the production links of cigarettes with the commercial links, which not only improves the production efficiency of the enterprise, but also improves the logistics efficiency and information system management of the finished cigarette distribution and sales links.
The SIEMENS RFID solution can meet the requirements of “modern logistics” “one-warehouse” distribution operation mode due to its inherent powerful management functions. It is suitable for large-scale and busy logistics and distribution, and can ensure high-quality data exchange in the supply chain. Cigarette production and operation provide a basis for decision-making and meet the requirements of the No. 1 project of the tobacco industry informatization.
