Paint shop
One of the most demanding phases of car manufacturing is the paint shop, where the car body goes through several chemical and coating showers and baking ovens. It is not just the efficiency RFID can bring that car manufacturers are after, it’s the reliability it can provide: with the Confidex Heatwave Flag tag the process yield is proven to be 99,96% in high temperatures. With a RAIN RFID real-time production monitoring system all car body related data is available continuously, such as body number, color and status.
