For vision sensor solutions, SPEDE uses Keyence vision sensors to prevent errors in identifying, counting and packing finished parts. 

SPEDE vision sensor solutions include:

• part validation
• scrap detection / diverting scrap via conveyor interface
• counting serialized and non-serialized parts
• packing validation
• part traceability

As an alternative to vision sensors, SPEDE Vision solutions can also use off-the-shelf USB cameras for: 

1. Part verification 
2. Color detection 
3. Parts counting
4. Reading 1D, 2D barcode
5. OCR - characters / text on parts /labels
6. Controlling sequence of filling dunnage layers
7. Verifying dunnage slots are filled correctly
8. Verifying pack count 
9. Providing video proof that dunnage is correct  
10. Triggering a label to print when pack count / dunnage is correct

The SPEDE Locator System uses Bluetooth Low Energy Beacons to uniquely identify steel coils and WIP containers and automatically record their location when the item is moved. There is no need to search for specific coils or manually record locations during Receiving, Putaway, Picking, Shipping and Physical Count operations. 

Barely larger than a U.S. quarter, the beacon can be attached via magnet to the coil or container. Each beacon has a unique ID, which SPEDE associates with the Item ID in the SPEDE Locator App. When the coil is moved, the beacon "wakes up" and transmits its ID to the SPEDE Locator app. SPEDE records the move and updates the location.

For automatic verification and tracking of WIP containers or steel coils during movement, picking or putaway, a Bluetooth beacon attached to the container or coil will identify itself to a SPEDE Locator System app on a tablet PC.

Touchscreen PCs are usually deployed at the end of a production line to receive data from upstream PLCs and from sensors on the production line. Touchscreens are used to:

• display machine/ production data
• verify parts and counts
• adjust counts for scrap
• display status data 
• trigger label printing
• display alerts
• do queries and more

A SPEDE SQL Server on a LAN or WLAN contains the database of all plant floor interactions with a part or component, and all its transactions for the ERP system. A SPEDE Automated Solution consists of the SPEDE Platform and SPEDE Apps.

The SPEDE Platform interfaces the SPEDE Apps to your host ERP, EDI, RAS and OEE systems, and controls the SPEDE WiFi network of plant floor devices. The SPEDE Apps provide the functionality to automate plant floor processes.
