Syngenta Flowers in De Lier ( the Netherlands ) , houses a specialised Young Plant Production mall . Every year , a wide stove of untried works , such as bedding plants , perennials and potted plant are produced across various locations of more than 25 hectares . By using optimal finish and distribution methods for youthful plants , support by innovative technologies like Xtrays and Xcarriers , many mintage and mixed bag of young flora are grow from both seeds and film editing .
As part of the worldwide Syngenta radical , which has 28,000 employee in 90 country , the De Lier validation contributes to Syngenta ’s mission : unlocking the full potential drop of plant life , maximising output , protecting the environment and improving tone of life worldwide .
The challengeSyngenta flower face the challenge of expeditiously and accurately managing the return flow of a novel type of industrial plant tray for its Young Plant Production . Their syndicate of Xtrays was expanded with 20 % Modern Xcarriers . The latter are not suitable for washing in the existing wash station and need a separate discourse . Manually split the new and older Xtrays in the store hall was a very time - consume and error - prone mental process . Syngenta therefore look for a solution to optimise its replication flow with the desegregation of the young Xtrays as much as possible .
The solutionThe Xcarriers are equipped with durable UHF RFID labels with a reading distance of up to 12 meter and a high-pitched recital amphetamine . These labels are normally used in logistics and retail environments .
Upon comer at the warehouse , the Xtrays are scanned by an RFID gate , which is equipped with advanced RFID proofreader and antenna to enable automatic detection and adjustment . An activation detector guarantee that the scanning process begins as before long as a pallet arrives .
The new Xtrays are sent to a freestanding treatment location , while the old Xtrays are directed to the exist washing station . RFID allows the Xtrays to be automatically and right process from the starting time and directly register at the right position without any manual intervention .
A roving RFID hand-held scanner can be used for extra scanning . Multiple RFID tags can be read at the same time here too , without expect a line - of - sight .
The Aucxis HERTZ Middleware was used to mix the organisation with Syngenta . Aucxis allow a custom visualization that displays the specific data point for each type of Xtray . All scan results are transferred to Syngenta ’s central ERP organization .
The resultSpeed and efficiency : " Manual counting is no longer necessary ; you may scan up to 750 Xtrays simultaneously , significantly speeding up the process . "
Logistics flows : " The scanned Xtrays are immediately channelize to the correct wash station , result in more sustainable and efficient return logistics . "
two-fold - check : " Errors are avoided through extra checks with a handheld during the return process . "
Reliable data : " Thanks to unlined integration with the existing Oracle Cloud database , everyone always has approach to dependable real - fourth dimension datum . "
