Sund Birsta introduces new technology – Robot tag marker

Sund Birsta AB technology team has developed a new and revolutionary system for adding tags on wire rod coils and other products. The system is based upon a standardized foundry version industry robot, equipped with below integrated systems. The first Sund Robot Tag Markers are currently evaluated in close cooperation with customers in Europe, and the performance criteria are now close to be met by the actual system performance.

 -Coil inspection system, A computer vision system with 3D cameras creates point clouds that are used to evaluate the coil shape and the wire/strap positions on the bundle before the tag is applied. With AI models trained through deep learning, the system is also capable of detecting potential errors after the tag has been applied to the product itself. It assures superior performance by enabling backup markings on all products once incorrect marking was detected. All data such as pictures and results are stored and can be kept for tracking purposes and quality assessments. The data collected refers to a unique serial number with date and time for traceability purposes. The stored data will also act like a “proof of delivery” all the way up to the unloading position of the production plant. 

As an option the verification data data can be stored in an File/Database server as a quality assurance.

-3D scanning system, A camera/sensor system attached to the robot arm from which an advanced algorithm can define the most suitable positions to attach the tag. The fastest and most available position is chosen by the system.

-Tag applicator, within 2sec the applicator unit creates a wire loop that applies the tag to the product. In the specific application the tag is applied to the binding wire- or strap itself. The wire loop geometry itself is patented!

Sund Birsta AB target to increase the marketing efforts on mentioned products within the near future as we believe that the product delivers exceptional function, robustness and performance. Our service team is prepared to ensure availability of spare parts and replacement service for the end user.
