Come visit FlexLink Systems in Booth #3001  at the Assembly Technology Expo to learn how FlexLink has been applying RFID technology to solve customers’ track and trace requirements.

The show will take place June 6–8, 2006 at Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, New York, NY.

On display will be applications of RFID technology in addition to our Dynamic Assembly Systems (DAS) and XK Pallet Solutions. 

DAS 30 – Dynamic Assembly System 
The DAS concept is built upon a unique combination of hardware, logic controls and software. This combination is the tool for production and process logic, giving industry the most flexible production system with complete process management and product traceability. FlexLink offers a software infrastructure supported by IPC/CAMX.  The systems we offer can monitor process machines, process cycle times and collect data for improving production efficiencies.

Benefits of the DAS system:

• Automated shop floor logistics
• High yields throughout the product lifecycle
• Track and traceability
• Easy reconfiguration
• Reusability of equipment

XK Pallet
FlexLink’s heavy duty XK has been utilized for many years in hostile environments, such as the Automotive and Machined Parts industries. 

Benefits of XK include:

• High quality, reusable and flexible solutions minimize costs during changes of the production flow
• Pallets accommodate products with unfavorable geometry 
• Produce different products in the same line at the same time by using the pallet as an independent interface
• Minimize the risk for damage of sensitive and fragile products and thereby increase production yield
• Shorter lead-times with less products through total control of the production flow  

XL Conveyor with RFID Technology
One of FlexLink’s most enduring conveyor series, XL has been applied to countless products in numerous industries, especially pharmaceuticals. FlexLink engineers have designed a special beam section that allows for internal mounting of an RFID reader. We will be demonstrating our ability to read, through the beam and chain, specific RFID chips placed in pharmaceutical pill bottles.  

Advantages of RFID technology are:

• Fast throughput
• Easy to create product flow / Lean manufacturing
• Flexible routing
• Storing product manufacturing data
• Traceability – quality assurance
• Centralized or decentralized control
