BROMONT, CANADA – Panasonic
Factory Solutions Co. of America and Cogiscan have collaborated on an RFID smart feeder kit for Panasonic's IPAC machine.
In a statement, Panasonic engineering manager Gene Dunn said that customers have sought to include automatic feeder tracking and closed
loop slot verification. He said the integration of Cogiscan's
RFID smart feeder system with Panasonic's verification
and traceability software is a first major step in that direction. The kit is offered on new machines and can be retrofitted on existing machines. Cogiscan's RFID smart feeder reportedly tracks, traces and controls feeders on and off the assembly line, without human intervention. The companies said tape feeders of any model and year can be upgraded into intelligent feeders by attaching a low cost RFID tag.
