Track and Trace
Manufacturing plants, warehouses and other large facilities with large number of assets need to know the location of all assets with a high level of precision. This knowledge helps these facilities to
* Eliminate lost time,
* Eliminate lost assets and
* Eliminate lost human effort.
* Improve inventory accuracy
Real time positioning systems allow for automatic feedback to a MES system. This can in turn enable a MES system to create optimal schedule of operations.
Additionally the ability to trace historical positions allows manufacturers to associate end product with specific processes, tools, operators and shifts.
This kind of information can provide unprecedented insights into the operations of a plant.
Recall's can be very targeted based on knowledge of tooling and operations to identify only the defective components.
Track and Trace provides a much deeper view into the operations of a plant than is possible with currently technologies, methods and processes.
What does it do
Track&Trace is installed in metal rich and electrical rich environments at our customers.
The track and trace system is proven to position thousands of tags within 30 cm (12 inches) of their actual position 95% of the time.
The system is designed to record a heartbeat and health every second. This allows us to inform our users if any anchor stops working or if any tag's battery is ready to be replaced.
System health can be shared via email, text messages or any other mechanism as required by users of the Track and trace system.
How Reliable is it
Other solutions include
* Paper based tracking,
* RFID and
* Bluetooth based systems
Each of these has their own advantages and disadvantages. Read more here
Our solution is better than competing technology because it provides
* High accuracy
* Very high update rates
* Works in metal rich and electrical rich environments
* Fully integrated out of the box solution
What other solutions are available?
The track and trace system has two hardware components and one software component.
The hardware includes
* Anchors
* Tags
The software includes
* Location solver
* Data management
* Analytics
* Integrations with MES/MRP/ERP systems
Anchors are installed inside the facility that requires a track and trace system. These anchors are then calibrated by our proprietary patent pending system. The anchors require a power supply.
Tags are attached to items that need to be tracked inside the facility. Tags can be assigned to each asset through the software interface.
Software supports
* Calculation of position of each tag
* Manage calculated position data
* Perform appropriate analytics
* Pass data to other software such a MES/MRP/ERP
Analytics in the software includes
* Visualization of real time position
* Creation of spaghetti diagrams
* Determination of contention zones
* Alerting based on geo-fencing
How does it work
ARIN Track&Trace works in metal rich and electrical rich environments.
It has been shown to have an accuracy of within 30 cm of actual.
Patent pending technology
No disruption of regular operations while the system is being installed.
Fully integrated with RestFUL API's for integration with other systems.
Cloud based implementation gives access to latest features.
