Manufacturing companies such as CEAT are finding the need to digitize across various aspects of the business imperative to boost productivity and increase competitiveness.
The goal of this challenge is to seek and work with solutions/products that can achieve above objective.
CEAT faces issues with tracking and locating its finished goods once they are produced all the way till point of sale. Currently tyres have a bar code system to track the tyre which have their limitations. The issue further extends to instances of theft as well.
Solution desired: Looking to integrate a digitally enabled solution (e.g. RFID) to address this problem and give CEAT end to end visibility of its finished goods.
Solution will need to be integrated inside the tyre.
Other key elements that the solution should have include:
1. The RFID component needs to be integrated at the tyre making process such that it withstands the high curing temperature of 200 Deg C.
2. It should be a temper proof UHF passive tags with high read range.
3. Apart from track and trace we should be able to use the tag for auto inventory counting and auto loading within the containers.
4. The tag should be read using handheld scanners and data to be incorporated in plant MES and cloud.
