SIMATIC RF300 USE CASE
Electric engine production
in the automotive industry
Task
The trend toward electric engine technology
continues apace. To meet it, the automotive
industry must successfully manufacture energy-
efficient electric motors as quickly, efficiently, and
flexibly as possible. In the process, the traceability
of all quality-relevant materials and components
must be ensured at all times.
Benefits
• Facilitating flexible manufacturing with
the high-performance SIMATIC RF300
RFID system.
• SIMATIC RF360R combines the functions
of the CM (communication module) and
reader in one device, enabling space-
savings and cost-efficient installation
Solution
In electric engine production, especially for the
stator component, individual copper wire wind-
ings are drawn into the stator housing with
specialized machines. The finished stator is then
assembled together with other components (e.g.
anchor, rotor) to a complete, ready-to-install
electric engine. After completion, the components
are assembled on a track-guided assembly line on
workpiece carriers. Each workpiece carrier is
equipped with a SIMATIC RF350T transponder, on
which all production-relevant information is
stored. With the help of the SIMATIC RF360R
reader, this data is read and written at individual
and manual workstations.
