With the increasingly fierce competition in the manufacturing market, companies urgently demand to continuously improve their ability to respond to the market and improve their competitiveness. Because real-time positioning technology has the advantages of long-distance, dynamic, high accuracy, strong reliability, etc., it has broken through the “bottleneck” problem of data entry and data collection. Therefore, the use of RTLS technology can automatically track work in progress (products being manufactured, including components). , Semi-finished products, finished products, etc.) to improve production efficiency.
Upin Technology combines RTLS and Wi-Fi technology to develop a wireless local area network real-time positioning system based on standard wireless local area networks, which can be quickly deployed and installed without rebuilding other networks or facilities. Provide enterprises with a complete set of assets and personnel tracking and positioning solutions. Establish a more powerful information chain, carry out all-round and whole-process visual tracking of incoming materials, WIP, packaging, transportation and warehousing until finally sent to the next link in the supply chain, so that the The tracking of products in progress and the quality traceability of finished products are clearer and more evidence-based, which helps companies reduce product defect rates, shorten product manufacturing cycles, reduce production costs, improve production efficiency, and enhance their comprehensive competitiveness in the market.
application solution:
System composition: electronic label, visualization software platform and wireless local area network AP.
1. Electronic label:
In the manufacturing industry, electronic tags are mainly used for asset and personnel identification and monitoring. Markers mainly include tools, equipment, property inventory, and related personnel, etc. Labels can be designed in a variety of styles, such as card-shaped, strip-shaped, wristband-shaped, etc., which can be made according to customer needs.
2. Visualization software platform:
Integrating the existing software of the enterprise, through a graphical operation interface, it can quickly detect and find the target object on the map showing the distribution of assets or the movement of personnel, and the operation is clear and simple.
3. Wireless LAN AP:
Based on the company’s original wireless LAN, equipment vendors include: Cisco, DLink, Netgear, Huawei, etc.
The wireless local area network real-time positioning system that integrates Wi-Fi technology and RTLS can optimize the process flow by tracking and finding the specific location of the goods, such as supporting just-in-time production (JIT); it can also replace manual operations to improve the process flow, such as Error-proof inspection between processes, matching appropriate parts or tools to the unit being processed, etc., thereby significantly improving manufacturing efficiency and market competitiveness. Judging from the current situation at home and abroad, the applications in the following industries are relatively mature:
? Automotive Manufacturing

The application of RTLS in the automobile manufacturing industry can greatly improve its entire operation process. Many major automobile manufacturers in the world are using RTLS to make operations more convenient, manufacturing more proactive, and production smoother and faster, and they are gradually realizing this. The system is of great significance.
Ubisoft’s Wi-Fi RTLS is based on a standard wireless local area network, without the need to re-build other networks or facilities, that can be quickly deployed and installed. Developed a wireless local area network real-time positioning system based on coal mine safety to provide a complete set of asset and personnel tracking and positioning solutions for the automotive industry. This program will greatly improve the production and management level of auto manufacturers.
The specific performance is:
? Improve manufacturing speed and production process: By assisting in tracking the auto parts on the production line, even including finished cars off the assembly line, the manufacturing speed and production process are improved.
? Ensuring vehicle quality: Ensure the quality of vehicle production by tracking and managing pre-manufacturing, manufacturing and post-manufacturing operations-including vehicles in the process of commissioning and inspection.
Improve employee productivity: Youpin implants the entire business logic model into the system. Using tags, employees can clearly know which process has been completed and which still needs to be continued, which greatly improves employee productivity.
? Improve sales quality: It can locate new vehicles that have just rolled off the assembly line. With its real-time visibility, it can smoothly deliver the vehicles ordered by each customer to satisfy customers.
? Provide a Wi-Fi vehicle tracking solution with frequent instantaneous physical vehicle storage. It can also help dealers in critical tracking, marketing personnel tracking, test driving tracking, floor plan review, service link tracking, and external batch overflow tracking.
Through UB’s Wi-Fi RTLS, labor costs can be reduced, the work process can be automated, and the system will tell employees where to pick up the car. The system also reduces the error rate. If a car is missed during the processing, there will be an alarm prompt, and it shortens the time the car is in the processing equipment, and improves the satisfaction of dealers and customers. At the same time, it can also provide stable asset tracking and automatic real-time connection between information systems, avoiding a large number of manual operations such as lagging data input, barcode scanning, and possible inaccurate data caused by this, so as to make more effective use of real-time The positioning system data updates the enterprise software system.
Electronics industry
The production environment of the electronics industry is complex. The appearance of thousands of parts and components on the production line is very similar, and it is difficult to identify and find quickly, which brings great inconvenience to the production work. In order to save unnecessary search time and improve production efficiency. The wireless local area network real-time positioning system developed by Youpin Technology, based on standard wireless local area networks, can be quickly deployed and installed without rebuilding other networks or facilities, providing enterprises with a complete set of asset and personnel tracking and positioning solutions.
In modern electronic companies, the following problems generally exist:
1. When production and engineering were in progress, the core component or related staff could not be found.
2. It is impossible to monitor the entire production process in real time, resulting in the loss of certain assets and low production efficiency.
3. Unable to find suitable equipment quickly, resulting in low equipment utilization and a serious waste of resources.
In response to the above-mentioned problems, Upin Technology Co., Ltd. launched an electronic industry tracking solution based on a standard wireless local area network. This solution can carry out all-round and whole-process visual tracking of products and finished products in the production process, storage and transportation process, and build a corporate visualization platform to understand and find the specific status and location of any item or person in the company anytime and anywhere. Provide all-weather tracking and positioning solutions, completely solve the overall problems faced by enterprises, help enterprises reduce product defect rates, shorten product manufacturing cycles, reduce production costs, improve production efficiency, and enhance enterprises’ comprehensive competition in the market force.
