MPS
Industry 4.0 upgrade kit
®
9 Function
The MPS
System 203 Industry 4.0 represents a small production line consisting of a slightly modified
®
distributing station, a joining station and a sorting station. The overall system is networked with PROFINET
and has been expanded with several RFID write/read heads.
The MPS
®
system processes work orders, which have been entered in the MES, by separating a workpiece at
the start of the sequence and writing the order number, the item number and the functions to the integrated
RFID tag at the end of the first station.
The downstream joining station reads the RFID tag and decides what will happen to the workpiece based on
the work order.
In the final sorting station, the RFID tags are read out and the workpieces are distributed to three chutes
depending on the work order.
