The Sixdime Data Logger, comprising a comprehensive Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and a Traceability Engine, covers every stage of the manufacturing process.

Barcode Printers are used to generate a barcode labels which would provide the unique identity to all RMs. Barcode scanners are used to read the barcode labels to facilitate tracking. RFID tags are also used for certain Incoming materials, and subsequently at each stage of the process.

RFID tags are read using RFID based Android Tablets and the data is transferred to PC for processing and establishing Traceability. At each stage waste analysis is performed and Output vs Input is compared. At each stage depending on the requirement, a HMI is provided to key in and monitor the set and process parameters respectively. Weighing system at certain stages is required to weigh the output material as part of the quality requirement.

The data acquired from hardware at each stage is interfaced with the PC which is equipped with the Traceability Engine to provide Tracking, Traceability functions and Productivity Reports & Analytics.

What are Data Loggers?

Data loggers are electronic devices which automatically monitor and record environmental parameters over time, allowing conditions to be measured, documented, analysed and validated.

The data logger contains a sensor to receive the information and a computer chip to store it. The information stored in the data logger is then transferred to a computer for analysis.

What is an OPC Server & PLC?

OPC Server: The OPC (Open Platform Communication) is a software interface standard that allows windows programs to communicate with industrial hardware devices.

OPC is implemented in server/client pairs. The OPC server is a software program that converts the hardware communication protocol used by a PLC into the OPC protocol. The OPC client software is any program that needs to connect to the hardware, such as an HMI. The OPC client uses the OPC server to get data from or send commands to the hardware.

PLC: A PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER (PLC) is an industrial computer control system that continuously monitors the state of input devices and makes decisions based upon a custom program to control the state of output devices.

Almost any production line, machine function, or process can be greatly enhanced using this type of control system. However, the biggest benefit in using a PLC is the ability to change and replicate the operation or process while collecting and communicating vital information.

Sixdime NFC Reader

What is NFC:

IoT has opened avenues of innovation which was unheard of before. The industrial sector has grown by leaps and bounds.

Production lines are more controlled with increased volume, human errors are eliminated and each cycle takes less time to complete with improved safety levels, leading to a big jump in efficiency.

NFC (Near Field Communication) has added more security and flexibility to IoT in Industry (commonly known as IoT or Industry 4.0).

About Sixdime NFC Reader:

At MELSS, our technicians are creating cutting-edge solutions for the industry based on IoT and our NFC offerings are already transforming industries.

Digital transformation is the need of the hour for all industries. The Sixdime NFC reader helps organizations in its Industry 4.0 implementation in providing identification, validation and data capture solutions, on shop floors and assembly lines. The small and powerful device which can read Mifare and NTAG, can be easily set up to detect tags and IoT enable shop floor. The Wi-Fi and Ethernet enabled device can communicate to most software applications, PLCs and Industrial Controllers through the industry standard Modbus TCP protocol, giving quick and fast response.

Event management within industries is more controlled now with the application of our NFC solutions.

Many of our solutions in Robotics use NFC technology. Material Management and Asset Tracking have improved with better communication between the trolley and the NFC Reader.

Benefits of Sixdime NFC reader:

• Data Sharing
• Access Management
• M2M Communication
• Asset Tracking
• Package Identification
