Reducing Kitting Loop Errors
Components placed in the line for engine assembly are currently monitored with paper barcodes. Visual similarity of components and damaged barcodes cause problems for product traceability, with the potential for entry of incorrect components into the supply chain. Increased control and traceability during assembly, and improved kit box visibility for verifiable component picking. The project included a web service to link assembled engines to sub-batch level in kitting-loop.
