Follow every roll and chock from purchase to scrap, through each rolling campaign, and know how much was ground from each roll.
Passive RFID tags identify each roll and chock. Tracking follows each roll through its rolling campaigns and across its full life, from purchase until it is scrapped, so each roll’s history is on record.
A handheld reader identifies rolls and chocks, and assists with build up and tear down of the pairings. The system always knows the pairings of top and bottom work rolls and backup rolls with their corresponding drive side and operator side chocks.
The system tracks roll changes at each stand, integrated with your L2 system, which provides the roll change event from the operators. As an option, rolls can also be physically tracked at the stand, using a special active RFID tag that also contains a passive chip.
A fixed reader at the grinder identifies when a roll is in the grinder. Integrated with the grinder, the system records how much was ground from each roll.
