Component tracking and production accuracy

In the project implemented at BSH's oven production factory in Çerkezköy, the oven doors mounted on the products were tracked and recorded based on the lot information obtained from the door carts.

The project was carried out to ensure the traceability of the door-product component relationship.

Needs / Problems

Manual tracking and matching risks

In oven production, the oven door mounted on the product had to match the correct product and this match had to be traceable on a product basis.

  • 01Manual Tracking ConstraintsThe manual tracking of the door-product relationship being insufficient and carrying the risk of a traceability gap.
  • 02Incorrect Component UseInability to automatically prevent the risk of using the wrong door during production.
Solution

Lot-based matching and automatic verification

Integration with the traceability system was achieved by matching product serial numbers with lot information obtained from the door carts. Data regarding the oven doors supplied on a lot basis to the production floor and mounted on products with specific serial numbers was recorded. Thanks to product-door matching, the use of correct doors in correct products was guaranteed.

01

Lot Barcode Reading

Lot labels on the door carts are scanned using a barcode reader.

02

Serial No Matching

The serial number of the assembled product is associated with the door lot information.

03

SCADA Verification

The C#-based SCADA application checks the accuracy of the match in real time.

04

SAP Confirmation Record

After all checks are completed, data of the approved parts is written to the SAP system.

Technology / Equipment Used

Field automation and software architecture

AUTOMATION

PLC Field Automation

PLC infrastructure managing the field flow, station states, and sensor data.

INTERFACE

C# SCADA Application

Specifically developed SCADA for matching logic, data verification, and operator screens.

HARDWARE

Barcode Readers

Industrial scanners that read lot labels on door carts and product serial numbers.

DATA

SAP Integration

Integrated sharing of process confirmations and lot data with the SAP system.

SOFTWARE

OnSuite Trace Platform

Central software layer controlling traceability and process management.

Integrations

SAP ERP Integration

The system runs integrated with SAP; after verification, confirmation data of compliant parts is sent back to SAP. This establishes full synchronization between the production floor and corporate data.

SAP Confirmation DataSuccessfully verified product and door match confirmations are instantly transmitted to SAP.
Benefits / Results

Controlled assembly with zero errors

Prevention of Faulty Assembly

The accuracy of the mounted doors is automatically checked, zeroing the risk of incorrect assembly.

Tracking at Serial No Level

The door-product relationship is written directly to the product's serial number, ensuring full traceability.
