Traceability with EtherCAT
Traceability is the act of documenting every step in a process
chain. Manufacturers use this information to gain visibility
to achieve on-time delivery, lean manufacturing, enhanced
quality and regulatory compliance. It is also used to track
assets, logistics and material movement. Traceability can be
easily implemented over EtherCAT in a variety of ways. Using
RFID systems native on EtherCAT with proven technology
from Balluff makes traceability easy to integrate into any
system or proces. Ask us about RFID solutions if traceability is important to your operations?
