Eliminate Human Errors

Cut cost, reduce waste, and increase yields
by eliminating errors

Human errors can occur at many stages of the manufacturing process. Considering the large number of variables and human beings involved throughout the complete assembly of a product and its lifecycle, the opportunity for something to go wrong is very high.

Human errors contribute towards material waste and increase line set-up and changeover time. In the worst case scenario, errors can lead to product recalls. Ultimately, human errors directly impact your efficiency and cost you money.

Ensuring correct line set-up

Cogiscan Track, Trace and Control (TTC) solutions eliminate errors associated with material handling and equipment setup during changeover and replenishment by automating processes to remove human intervention wherever possible.

The Cogiscan Line Setup Control application validates the correct set-up of components, consumables, feeders and tooling at each machine/workstation. The system triggers warnings if anything is set up incorrectly, and can stop the line completely to avoid wasting material and producing assembly defects.

Automated route control ensures that the right products go through the right sequence of operations during assembly, test and rework.

Automated control

Handheld barcode readers can be replaced with fixed-mount readers integrated in machines, workstations, and conveyors to reduce errors during material handling, and enable completely automatic data acquisition throughout the factory.

RFID technology can be used to create intelligent systems in which tags are attached to different pieces of tooling, fixtures, or pallets with readers located on machines, at workstations, or in storage locations to guarantee that materials are always where they should be.
