Digital Identity on Tool Tips,
Reliable Matching in Production
At Delphi Technologies' plant in Izmir ESBAS Free Zone, tool tips used in production were tracked with a Data Matrix-based system to make product-tool matching, tool life, and sharpening processes traceable.
End-to-end traceability in tool-tip flow
Delphi Technologies' plant in Izmir ESBAS Free Zone manufactures for the automotive supplier industry. In this project, tool tips used in production were tracked with a Data Matrix-based system.
The project made product-tool matching, tool life monitoring, and sharpening flow traceable and manageable.
Quality risk and visibility loss from wrong tool usage
It was necessary to guarantee that the correct tool tip is used for each product in production. Manual checks increased error risk and reduced process visibility.
- 01Product-Tool MatchingManual product and tool-tip checks increased the risk of wrong tool usage.
- 02Tool Life MonitoringLack of healthy tool-life tracking made planning and cost control difficult.
- 03Sharpening Process TrackingA reliable central record structure was needed to track the history of tools sent for sharpening.
Data Matrix-based unique tool tracking and automatic validation
Each tool tip was marked with a Data Matrix code and uniquely identified. During production, the tool tip was read and matched with the relevant product; tool life and sharpening records were also tracked in the system.
Unique Code Marking
Each tool tip was provided with a unique identity via Data Matrix code.
Matching Validation
During production, tool-tip code is read and automatically matched with the related product.
Tool Life Monitoring
Usage cycles and life of each tool tip are tracked for data-driven management.
Sharpening History
Process records of tools sent for sharpening are stored to make sharpening history traceable.
Data Matrix reading, field automation, and SCADA infrastructure
Data Matrix Codes
Permanent code structure carrying unique identity on tool tips.
Code Readers
Read tool-tip codes during production for instant verification.
PLC Structure
Manages field flow and synchronizes validation steps with production.
C# SCADA Application
Manages product-tool matching, tool life tracking, sharpening records, and Oracle data exchange.
Central process management with Oracle
The system works integrated with Oracle; product-tool matching, tool life, and sharpening process data are shared with Oracle for centralized monitoring and management.
Quality assurance and data-driven tool management
Prevention of Wrong Tool Usage
Automatic product-tool matching reduced quality risk caused by wrong tool usage.
Lifecycle-Based Planning
Lifecycle tracking over unique identities strengthened planning and cost control.
Sharpening History Visibility
Systematic sharpening records made each tool tip's history traceable.
