The Solution!

ProductionAR products

FactoryAR

Barcode and QR Code Scanning

Linear Barcodes contain single number information (SKU number typically) - Universal Product Codes on goods

2D Barcodes can contain more complex information - URLs and links to Webpages - Images

RFID Scanning

RFID uses a radio signal to communicate between a tag and a reader

Passive RFID gets power from the RF signal to power

the tag (NFC in credit cards is similar)

Active RFID tags have their own internal power source

Conventional tracking technology

MFD markers visible at ~10x greater distances than QR-codes 26.8M vs 3.6M for QR-code

Logistics in Manufacturing

Manufactured products can be tracked through mulitple manufacturing processes - Time stamps - GPS stamps - Multimedia uploads (pictures, video, sound) - Document uploads

Marker Laser Etched on Aluminum Tags

Scanning Station using low cost, commodity electronics

Reusable Laminated Tags for use in harsh Environments

Logged in to the “Recycled” Role
