EXAMPLE PROJECT

Production data and traceability

A hypothetical tracking application connecting part identity, process status and inspection data.

Production monitoring / Example application

Production data and traceability

01

Problem

This scenario considers reading a part identifier during production and associating process information with that record.

02

Solution

Barcode readers, an inspection station and PLC data can be connected through an industrial application. Variables acquired over OPC UA can be displayed to operators and recorded according to defined retention rules.

03

System architecture

Barcode reader and inspection station → PLC / OPC UA → recording application → operator view. This is an example architecture; actual network and data security conditions require separate specification.

04

Technologies

OPC UABarcodeIndustrial software

05

Result

This is an example application scenario. No measured cycle time, quality improvement or completed Petra project results are claimed.
