Error-proof Manufacturing Solutions

SPEDE Manufacturing Solutions use Poka Yoke methods to automate and error-proof production area processes, and create traceability of parts as they move from raw through production to shipping. You can choose functionality on a per-line or a per-site basis, and add more at any time.

Production Area QC

SPEDE - PLC Interfaces

SPEDE - PLC Interfaces

SPEDE Technologies Automated Solutions for manufacturing error-proof production area processes

SPEDE automated solutions are designed to control quality, increase efficiency and provide 20/20 visibility into your operations. Error-proofing functions include: 

  1. Part Inspection
  2. Part Serialization
  3. Part Counting
  4. Traceability
  5. Production Reporting
  6. Scrap/ Rework
  7. Packaging and Labeling
  8. QC Holds and Releases


QC Hold Processes include:

  • Holds by: part number, part+lot, serial numbers, containers in process
  • Container can have multiple holds
  • Who, when, why Hold was applied /released
  • Future Container holds 

SPEDE - PLC Interfaces

SPEDE - PLC Interfaces

SPEDE - PLC Interfaces

SPEDE Technologies automated manufacturing solutions interface to a variety of PLCs

Interfacing to a production machine's PLC allows for reading the PLC's stored data, and providing HMI synchronization for redundant part verification. 


The SPEDE PLC Interfaces include read/writes to:

  • Allen Bradley
  • Mitsubishi
  • Omron
  • Siemens


Protocols include:

  • Profinet
  • Ethernet/IP
  • Melsec
  • Mod Bus
  • FINS  

Component Traceability

SPEDE - PLC Interfaces

WIP Operations Traceability

image150

SPEDE Component Traceability tracks purchased and internally produced component lots through processing and assembly, and ties the End Item Lot to all lots involved upstream. It allows for a single container to have multiple lot codes, as when partial containers are combined. You can use a handheld or vehicle-mount scanner to:

  1. Create a SPEDE B.O.M. 
  2. Receive raw /purchased components
  3. Issue to Line/ Operation
  4. Return to stock
  5. Track Components by Lot tied to the Container serial number
  6. Query lots forward and backward

WIP Operations Traceability

WIP Operations Traceability

WIP Operations Traceability

WIP Operations Traceability ensures WIP units are routed in correct sequence, and creates WIP tracea

WIP Operations Traceability controls and tracks the flow of serialized WIP containers to ensure the correct sequencing of operations is followed. SPEDE checks the correctness at issue to prevent sequencing errors. For easier tracking, the same serial number can be used throughout each operation when possible. 

Functions include:

  1. Routing by WIP/FIN part number
  2. Identifies Purchased, Produced, and Component parts used at each operation 
  3. Tracks recycles/re-starts
  4. Options for tracking through "blind" processes such as plating, painting, etc.


Vision Sensor Solutions

WIP Operations Traceability

Vision Sensor Solutions

Vision sensors for Parts inspection/ validation/ counting/ traceability

Vision sensors installed at the end of production and in packing areas can prevent errors in identifying, counting and packing parts. 


Since no PLC is needed, vision can be used in Pack and Re-pack areas  in addition to line-side use.


SPEDE Vision solutions include: 

  1. Part validation
  2. Part counting - serialized and non-serialized
  3. Scrap detection/ counts
  4. Optional interface to conveyors / diverters can divert scrap or incorrect parts
  5. Packing control
  6. Labeling control
  7. Reading 2D code on parts for traceability

Error-proof Labeling

WIP Operations Traceability

Vision Sensor Solutions

Error-Proof Lineside Labeling

SPEDE Labeling solutions use input from PLCs, scales, vision sensors and/or USB cameras at packing areas to ensure the part number and pack count are correct before triggering a container label to print. 


Highlights include:

  1. Sourcing label data from host ERP, EDI, RAS
  2. Time-stamp and logging of printed label data in an SQL DB for inventory tracking, shipping, OEE analysis, auditability
  3. Backward /Forward item traceability
  4. Detailed audit trail of all transactions  

Weigh Scale Interfaces

Using USB Cameras for Packing / Dunnage Control

Packing to Releases / 862s

SPEDE Automated Solutions interface to weigh scales for error-proof parts counting/packing/labeling

Weigh scales can be interfaced to PLCs to count parts by weight, and/or at the packaging line to calculate the number of parts being packed into a container. 


When the total count of parts, based on individual piece weight and an allowance for tare weight is correct, a container label will automatically print.  


Packing to Releases / 862s

Using USB Cameras for Packing / Dunnage Control

Packing to Releases / 862s

Packing to Releases/862s. SPEDE shows real-time completion status so you know which parts to build

Your operators can view and monitor the real-time completion status of today's releases, in order to know which parts to build to meet today's schedules. 


A red/ yellow/ green status code indicates whether more parts are needed, or if it's time for a changeover for the next part. 

Using USB Cameras for Packing / Dunnage Control

Using USB Cameras for Packing / Dunnage Control

Using USB Cameras for Packing / Dunnage Control

SPEDE Technologies uses USB cameras to validate and count parts for error-proof packing of dunnage

You can prevent errors in packing containers of parts by using USB cameras to validate the correctness of the part, and ensure all slots in a dunnage layer have been filled correctly before allowing the next layer to begin.  


Optional video of each filled layer provides proof the container was packed to the customer's requirements.

SPEDE 20/20 Platform / Interfaces

WIP Container Tracking / Verification

WIP Container Tracking / Verification

SPEDE 20/20 platform and interfaces to PLCs, scales, conveyors, host systems

A SQL Server PC on your WiFi or wired network runs the SPEDE Apps to interface to production machine PLCs, Line-side PCs, Vision Sensors, weigh scales, conveyors, cameras, OCR and your host ERP, EDI  and OEE systems. 

WIP Container Tracking / Verification

WIP Container Tracking / Verification

WIP Container Tracking / Verification

WIP Container Tracking. SPEDE uses Bluetooth beacons to track each WIP container in production

A small Bluetooth Beacon can be attached to WIP containers of parts to automatically record their movement. When a container movement is detected, the Beacon transmits its ID to SPEDE and the SPEDE Locator App is updated.

Steel Coil Tracking / Verification

WIP Container Tracking / Verification

Steel Coil Tracking / Verification

SPEDE Coil Locator System uses Bluetooth Beacons to track Coils by ID; automate picking, shipping

 A small Bluetooth Beacon can be attached to large singular items such as steel coils, to automatically record their movement. The Beacon wakes up and transmits its ID to SPEDE when coil movement is detected, and the SPEDE Locator App is updated.
