Panasonic Factory Solutions Company of America and Cogiscan have formed a new partnership to collaborate on developing an RFID smart feeder kit for the IPAC machine.
“Over the past few years we have received an increasing number of customer requests to extend the standard setup verification and traceability capability of the equipment to include automatic tracking of feeders and closed loop slot verification,” says Gene Dunn, engineering manager for Panasonic. “By integrating the proven technology of the Cogiscan RFID smart feeder system with the proven capability of the PanaCIM verification and traceability system, we have produced a robust and elegant solution that can be offered on new machines and that can also be sold as a retrofit for existing machines.”
‘Now that this solution is proven in the field we think that it will become a standard option for our most demanding customers that are constantly pushing for higher levels of traceability’.
