Electronic Price Labels Boost the Intelligence of the Manufacturing Industry

Currently, major manufacturing industries are facing issues such as production reduction, downsizing, and cost compression. How can the manufacturing industry improve and optimize production processes to achieve a better production chain? Electronic price labels provide the answer. Their application in production lines has driven the intelligentization of the manufacturing industry.

Electronic Price Labels Enable Production Traceability

Electronic price labels have significant market potential in smart offices and chain retail enterprises. However, they can also play an important role in industrial environments due to their unique display methods and positioning functions. Currently, many factories still use paper and traditional WiFi and Bluetooth devices for production process management, resulting in poor production timeliness. WiFi and Bluetooth devices also have drawbacks such as frequent disconnections, high costs, and high power consumption. Therefore, electronic price labels, which can be updated in real-time, have low power consumption, strong stability, and relatively low costs, have gradually stood out.

Electronic price labels in production lines can conveniently and accurately record process information and process operation details, meeting the needs of flexible production. The recording of workers' IDs, operation time, specific operations, and quality inspection results can fully realize production traceability and avoid errors caused by manual writing and visual information checking in the production environment.

Application of Electronic Price Labels in the Automotive Manufacturing Industry

The automotive manufacturing industry is undoubtedly a relatively large-scale sector in manufacturing. Automobile production and manufacturing mainly involve four major processes: stamping, welding, painting, and assembly, as well as PDI pre-sales inspection. Each production link is a systematic project that requires strict operating environment conditions and strict quality and process management. In the entire production process, any problem in a single workstation will affect the overall operation, and may even cause the entire production process to stall, resulting in huge losses for the entire enterprise. In such cases, electronic price labels are needed, which have the following advantages:

1. Improve equipment utilization efficiency: Installing electronic price labels on valuable equipment in warehouses and factories allows managers to conveniently update equipment operating status through the cloud, so that frontline on-site employees can learn about the status of equipment and goods in the first place.

2. Easily inventory equipment resources: Year-end or month-end inventory checks in enterprises are very labor-intensive and error-prone. With electronic price labels, equipment status can be easily monitored, saving a lot of manpower and time. In case of emergencies, the location of equipment can be quickly located, and relevant personnel can be notified in advance to take corresponding measures.

3. Facilitate on-site interoperability among frontline personnel: Electronic price labels can provide real-time equipment information, making it convenient for on-site personnel to understand equipment, materials, inventory information, management personnel, and other details, providing auxiliary information for on-site management. On-site personnel can also directly modify equipment information through handheld devices to achieve on-site interoperability and realize digital and intelligent management.

Application of Electronic Price Labels in the Handicraft Manufacturing Industry

Most traditional handicrafts require pure manual production and cannot be produced on assembly lines, leading to their gradual disconnection from modern factories. In order to get rid of traditional management models, some traditional handicraft manufacturers have begun to hope to introduce modern digital technologies to carry out information transformation of production workshops. Electronic price labels provide an excellent transformation medium.

Traditional work orders adopt the traditional paper printing mode. Although one paper for one work order can well assign production tasks, it also brings a lot of problems:

1. Massive consumption of paper and ink: It is understood that factories need to print thousands of work orders a day, and these work orders cannot be recycled, resulting in a large amount of paper waste. This not only runs counter to the concept of environmental protection but also increases considerable production costs for factories.

2. Serious lag in data statistics: Factory managers cannot obtain production line information in a timely and accurate manner, making it impossible to adjust the enterprise's production and sales strategies in a timely manner, which has a significant impact on the long-term development of the enterprise.

Electronic pricing tags have huge market potential in smart manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, retail, and other industries. Compared with traditional paper labels, electronic price labels can reduce costs for customers by 20% within 3 years, and even by 50% within 5 years.
