Material Loading Mistake Prevention System (PLC-linked)

This system reads the part number of the material to be loaded with a handheld terminal, verifies it against the work order, and signals the PLC to physically interlock the machine when the part does not match — making wrong loading impossible.

Benefits

Reliable poka-yoke

When the part does not match, the PLC interlock activates and the machine simply will not run.

OCR-based flexible matching

Reads part numbers directly from existing labels, with no need to add barcodes.

Less double-checking effort

Replaces visual double-checks with machine matching, freeing operators.

Automatic loading record

Order, part, quantity, timestamp and operator are recorded automatically.

On-site adjustments

Forms and workflows can be modified without programming when the line changes.

Compatible Functions

  • OCR (text recognition) — Reads the part number directly from the existing label.
  • PLC direct interlock unit — Interlocks the machine based on the verification result (released only on match).
  • No-code app builder — Build or modify the app in minutes without programming.
  • Device management — Manage and update handhelds remotely from a central console.
