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.
