Need to verify tooling?

Tool / Jig Identification

Identify the fitted tooling and compare it with the production requirement before the machine sequence is released.

The problem

A wrong tool, jig, mould or fixture can be fitted during changeover and cause defects before the mistake is noticed.

What the solution does

Identify the fitted tooling and compare it with the production requirement before the machine sequence is released.

  • Prevent tooling mix-ups
  • Reduce setup mistakes
  • Improve changeover traceability

How it works

A typical system architecture, adjusted to your equipment and workflow.

  1. 01Tool tag
  2. 02RFID head
  3. 03PLC comparison
  4. 04Machine permissive
  5. 05Event record

Typical applications

  • Jig and fixture verification
  • Mould identification
  • Tool changeover checks

What goes into the system

  • Industrial RFID tags
  • Read/write head and controller
  • PLC interface
  • Agreed machine permissive logic

Feasibility first

Your package scope

One machine and tooling verification workflow. The final quantities, deliverables and acceptance criteria are confirmed in your quotation.

Included in the proposed scope

  • Tag/mounting and reader feasibility review
  • Tool identity and recipe comparison design
  • Agreed PLC permissive logic and functional test

What we need from you

  • Machine/PLC interface and sequence information
  • Tool samples, mounting constraints and responsible machine engineer

Agree how success is checked

  • Test correct, incorrect and unreadable tooling
  • Verify the agreed machine response and recovery steps

Acceptance criteria are agreed before work starts. A feasibility trial establishes limits before a wider deployment is committed.

Options and separately quoted work

  • Additional areas, equipment or workflows
  • Site installation, cabling and travel
  • BMS / SCADA / PLC / ERP interfaces beyond the agreed scope
  • Software hosting, licences and ongoing support where required

Quoted as a package after scope review. Hardware, engineering, site work and any recurring charges are stated separately in the proposal.

Pilot → Deploy → Care

Pilot

Test one agreed area or workflow. Confirm the critical assumptions and record the acceptance results.

Deploy

Roll out the agreed scope with configuration, commissioning and operator handover defined in the quotation.

Care

Add a separate support plan for agreed response times, health reviews or software maintenance. Optional and separately quoted.

Frequently asked questions

Is the RFID check a safety function?

This package is a production verification function. Any safety-related interlock needs a separate machine safety assessment and suitably rated design.

Can it work on an existing machine?

We first review available PLC interfaces, sequence logic, mounting and access. Integration is agreed before equipment selection.
