AeroScout T4p Parts Replenishment Tags

 

Industrial Wi-Fi Tags for Cost Effective and Easy to Deploy Parts Replenishment Solutions

 

The AeroScout T4p Parts Replenishment Tag is a rugged Wi-Fi device that serves as a wireless Kanban solution on production lines. It is battery operated and does not require any hard wiring – this also enables flexibility to quickly support production line layout changes. Since the tag supports complete bi-directional Wi-Fi communication, there is no need for additional wired line-side infrastructure or a dedicated network. Thus, AeroScout can offer the most cost effective, flexible and easy to deploy solution for wireless parts replenishment.

The AeroScout Parts Replenishment Solution automates and streamlines the complete business process:

• When additional parts are needed on the production line, a worker uses a call button located on the T4p Tag to send a parts replenishment request

• The worker receives a distinct visual indication that the request has been received and is in-process

• The worker then receives different visual indications of progress in the replenishment process – for example, indicating that parts are on the way

• Once the parts have arrived successfully, the tag is reset

 

Key Features

 

Call Button Messaging

The T4p Tag includes two industrial-grade call buttons that are configurable to fit specific use cases. For example, one call button can be set to send a parts replenishment call and the other can be configured to confirm the arrival of the requested parts.

 

Long Battery Life

The T4p Tag’s batteries are replaceable and last up to four years, which keeps total cost of ownership and maintenance costs low.

 

Visual Indications

A dual-color LED enables a variety of status indications and system acknowledgements. Different combinations of LED colors and blinking sequences can be set based on customer needs.

 

Flexible Mounting

Tags are easily mounted next to parts containers using screws or tie wraps. Since the tags are battery powered and require no wired network connectivity, they are also simple to move when factory layout changes occur.

 

Rugged Enclosure

The tag has a ruggedized enclosure and is designed to operate in harsh manufacturing environments.

 

Third-Party Application Interface

AeroScout software provides an open API for integration with third-party applications such as warehouse management or ERP systems.
