Integrated RFID and Barcode Identification for Information Acquisition

The study focuses on the information acquisition in assembly line with radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. After analyzing the situation of information acquisition in assembly line, an identification information acquisition frame based on integration of RFID and barcode is proposed. For the different requirement of identification granularity and manufacturing process information the parts are divided into three classes and identified with corresponding technology. The application result shows the production efficiency and quality is improved; the synchronization of logistics and information flow in manufacture is enhanced.
