Operation-level traceability for electronic boards.

The project implemented at Phinia's manufacturing facility in the Izmir ESBAŞ Free Zone provides individual tracking of electronic boards throughout all assembly operations, associates quality results with each unit, and automatically generates customer labels at the end of the process.

Customer and Context

End-to-end traceability in electronic board production

Electronic boards manufactured at Phinia's automotive production facility in the Izmir ESBAŞ Free Zone pass through multiple assembly and quality control operations.

The project was implemented to provide complete traceability of each board's production history and quality results at an individual product level.

Need / Challenge

Tracking operations and quality data for each board

It was necessary to monitor which stations each electronic board passed through and record quality results at every operation. In addition, ensuring the correct customer label was applied at the end of the process was a critical requirement.

  • 01Limited Operational VisibilityThe complete operation history of each board could not be easily traced across the production line.
  • 02Quality Data AssociationAssociating OK–NOK inspection results with individual products was difficult using manual processes.
Solution

Board-level operation and quality tracking

Electronic boards are individually identified and tracked from the beginning of the assembly process. Status updates from each operation and OK–NOK quality results from vision inspection stations are associated with the corresponding board. Customer labels are automatically generated at the end of production.

01

Board Identification

Each electronic board receives a unique identity when entering the production line.

02

Operation Tracking

Every station and production operation is recorded throughout the process.

03

Quality Verification

OK–NOK results from camera inspection systems are linked to the relevant board.

04

Label Generation

Customer labels are automatically generated based on traceability records.

Technology / Equipment

Code readers, machine vision and SCADA infrastructure

IDENTIFICATION

Code Readers

Barcode and code reading systems used to identify boards throughout production.

VISION

Quality Inspection Cameras

Industrial camera systems providing OK–NOK inspection results at production stations.

AUTOMATION

PLC Infrastructure

Controls production line flow and manages station-level processes.

SOFTWARE

C# SCADA Application

Central software managing operational tracking, quality data, labeling, and Oracle integration.

Integrations

Oracle Integration

Operation records, quality inspection results, and labeling data are shared with Oracle for centralized process management.

OracleBoard traceability, quality, and labeling records are integrated with Oracle systems.
Benefits / Results
