Poka Yoke Solutions for Honda MPRs

---

The Japanese term Poka Yoke means integrating a mechanism into a process either to prevent an error from being made - such as the wrong part being packed into a container, or to detect an error in real-time and alert the operator so it can be corrected.

SPEDE Poka Yoke Solutions for manufacturing integrate various technologies into plant floor procedures to prevent operator error when:

• identifying parts or components
• counting parts for a pack count
• packing a dunnage layer
• routing WIP through the correct sequence of operations
• printing the correct container label 

SPEDE Poka Yoke solutions for Honda MPR compliance include:

• Using a PLC to control container labeling by supplying the part number, run data and piece count 
• Using a PLC to control part counts at start and end of run and to control partial packs 
• Using Vision Sensors to identify / validate parts or components
• Using Vision to detect scrap; trigger defective parts to be diverted
• Using Vision or OCR to read a 2D serial number or text data for traceability
• Using Vision to control packing and labeling 
• Using Weigh Scales to control piece counts / full pallet validation
• Using Weigh Scales to trigger a container label when count or weight is correct
• Using USB Cameras to ensure that a dunnage layer is packed correctly before the next layer begins
