Abstract

Purpose

–

The purpose of this paper is to present a novel approach for identification of machining fixtures, and their elements in an assembly/disassembly process.

Design/methodology/approach

–

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is applied to identification of physical machining fixtures and their basic elements.

Findings

–

Based on comprehensive testing in industrial conditions it was established by this research that the use of RFID technology contributes to significant reduction of assembly/disassembly time of machining fixtures.

Practical implications

–

Practical applicability of RFID technology is emphasized and demonstrated in the paper. The suggested system is proven superior in comparison with conventional methods for identification of fixtures/fixture elements which qualifies it for real industrial application.

Originality/value

–

To the best of authors' knowledge there are no previous reports of successful application of RFID technology on identification of fixtures/fixture elements.
