AVI = Automatic Vehicle Identification, means to identify vehicle via RFID or Label. AVI also schedules vehicle manufacturing route according to
standard process automatically, with functions of Work Order Download, Quality Route, Take In, Take Out, etc. AVI integrates with conveyor via PLC. AVI works as MES core module, to interact with ERP/WMS
systems.

Vehicle Identification:040 is a Quality Check
station, while 030/050 are AVI stations.
When vehicle comes into 040, MES lists out available vehicles -which have passed 030, and not yet passed 050.
Vehicle Type Verification
Vehicle Type Verification: When vehicle comes into color
separation area of Paint Shop, AVI PLC identifies vehicle via RFID Tag, and then interact with MES to verify the color code.
Travel Record
Travel Record: When vehicle passes
through key stations, system tracks and records it.
Some stations can be configured as broadcast trigger stations, e.g. when vehicle travels through PBS IN, system notifies to deliver materials into Line TRIM1 & TRIM2.

Sequence Management
Sequence Management: AVI updates Line Sequence
according to Travel Record of Line Head & Lind End stations.
E.g. original sequence is V001…V020, and when V001 passes Line End, the sequence will be updated as V002…V020. When V021 passes Line Head, then sequence will be updated as V002…V021.

Take In/Take Out: 8Y-160 is a Quality Check
station, allows good vehicles come to 6X-10.
Bad vehicles will be Take Out from 8R-170, and after being fixed, Take In from 6X-10.
Take In/Take Out operations make sure only good vehicles are moving in the main production line with correct sequence.
Quality Gate
Quality Gate: When vehicle comes
through Body Shop Buyoff Gate, AVI returns its Quality Status to Conveyor PLC.
Conveyor PLC determines vehicle direction according to its Quality Status: Put good vehicle into Elevator and then send to WBS; Put bad vehicle into Repair Area instead.

Vehicle Route:When vehicle comes through Paint
Shop Buyoff station, operator checks its Quality Status, and select a route for each bad vehicle.
When vehicle comes into Buyoff Exit station, AVI returns its Quality Route into Conveyor PLC, then PLC determines vehicle’s direction based on its Route: send good vehicle into Paint Out, send bad vehicle into specific repair area.
There’re 2 methods of identification: RFID Tag and Label.
RFID Tag is easier to integrate into automation system, and can withstand high temperature and corrosion, one single Tag can be used through Welding/Painting/Assembly. It’s stable and convenient, but it will be hard to identify a vehicle when Tag is physically damaged.
Label is a bit more difficult to integrate, but it has 2 benefits: it’s much cheaper, and label text is visible during manual operations.
