Integrated RFID Hardware, Software and Application Platform Optimizes Vehicle Tracking and Inventory Management
August 8, 2024 – Huntington Beach, CA – Acceliot, Inc., a leading provider of intelligent asset tracking and services, today announced that it has introduced a real-time vehicle, asset and inventory tracking solution to address the growing inventory visibility and data collection requirements for automotive supply chain, end-of-line (EOL), smart manufacturing and quality assurance programs.
The passive RFID-powered Acceliot AVP-Automotive hardware and software suite has been developed to track and ingest real-time vehicle location, historical movement and contextual status data across various stages- from large open yards to warehouse, assembly line, inspection, finishing and repair stations — and share these data points with the customized tracking applications and supply chain management systems that automotive OEMs rely on.
“With Industry 4.0 digital transformation programs on the rise, data is being collected at every possible stage of the automotive manufacturing process and in much greater volumes,” said Shawn Manesh, CEO at Acceliot. “Our Acceliot AVP-Automative suite was designed to intelligently track, collect and distribute item-level RFID directly to the information systems that monitor performance across automotive supply chains. We are removing the complexities associated with legacy RFID solutions and enabling automotive OEMs to quickly develop tracking applications for their specific use cases.”
Precise vehicle tracking has become a critical factor in optimizing and assessment of automobiles throughout their finishing processes and quality inspections.
The Acceliot executive team averages nearly 20 years of RFID asset tracking and decades of wireless communication experience and a history of success with leading OEMs including Daimler, Honda, Mazda, Scania and Volvo. The new AVP-Automotive framework was developed to intelligently collect and filter vehicle data from the standardized UHF passive RFID tags used to track vehicles and automotive assets.
The Acceliot AVP-Automotive solution combines the company’s award-winning STARflex RFID reader platform with an edge platform and a software architecture that intelligently filters asset location and chokepoint information to provide actionable data to an OEM’s manufacturing, production planning, lot management, quality assurance, enterprise resource planning (ERP) and service management systems. An integrated mobile application framework complementing its fixed infrastructure can be used to streamline the process of locating cars in expansive open yards using metadata, without requiring additional infrastructure costs.
“Building on our heritage in the real-time location sector, the Acceliot AVP-Automotive platform perfects the use of passive RFID as the foundational source of data for OEM asset visibility programs,” said Paul Barriga, CTO at Acceliot. “There are dozens of manufacturing processes that can be taken to new levels when high-density data collection and processing is filtered and processed autonomously.”
Designed to support vehicle tracking, lot visibility and parts management objectives, Acceliot’s AV-Automotive suite offers a range of benefits including:
- Delivering filtered asset data to visualization apps
- Streamlining testing, inspection and repair processes
- Reducing manual tasks
- Detecting manufacturing anomalies
- Enhancing end-of-line (EOL) manufacturing programs
- Improving first-time through (FTT) initiatives
- Optimizing vehicle tracking and marshaling
- Automating lot management processes
