Smart Connected WD-40 Lubricant Valve with RFID Tag for Automated Inventory and Usage Analytics.

Smart Connected WD-40 Lubricant Valve with RFID Tag for Automated Inventory and Usage Analytics.

Product Description:
Step into the future of industrial supply chain management with our Smart Connected Valve. Each valve is embedded with a unique, passive RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) tag, turning every can of lubricant into a trackable asset. This allows for automated inventory management through fixed readers in storage rooms or mobile readers during audits, providing real-time data on stock levels and consumption patterns. The valve itself provides a reliable, consistent spray for all lubrication tasks, but its true value lies in the data it provides. Facility managers can monitor usage across departments, predict restocking needs with precision, and prevent theft or misallocation of supplies. This valve is the cornerstone of a digital, data-driven maintenance strategy, eliminating manual stock-taking and bringing unparalleled visibility to your consumable usage. Integrate it with your asset management software for a seamless, smart factory ecosystem.

Bullet Points:

• Integrated passive RFID tag for unique identification and tracking of each canister.

• Enables fully automated inventory management and restocking alerts.

• Provides valuable data analytics on lubricant consumption and usage patterns.

• Prevents loss and improves accountability for supply chain management.

• Delivers the same reliable seal and spray pattern for a perfect protective coating.

Specific Application Scenario: A large manufacturing plant has RFID readers on the tool crib. As a technician checks out a can, it is automatically scanned, deducting it from inventory and charging the cost to their department.

Factory Production Floor: Valves are manufactured on a standard line, with the RFID inlay being applied and sealed within the valve housing during a final assembly step in an ESD-safe environment.

Packing and Transportation: Packaged in boxes that are also tagged with a master RFID for bulk tracking. Shipped with documentation about the tag specifications for IT integration.

FAQ:

1. Q: What type of RFID tag is used, and what is its read range?
   A: It uses a UHF passive RFID tag with a typical read range of 3-5 meters with a standard fixed reader, ideal for portal and shelf-based scanning.

2. Q: Does the RFID tag require a battery?
   A: No, it is a passive tag that is powered by the radio wave energy from the reader, making it maintenance-free for the life of the valve.

3. Q: Can we integrate this data with our existing ERP system?
   A: Yes, the unique ID from each tag can be easily linked to your enterprise resource planning (ERP) or computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) software.

4. Q: Is the tag resistant to the chemicals in lubricants and penetrants?
   A: Yes, the tag is fully encapsulated and sealed within the valve's polymer housing, protecting it from chemical exposure and physical impact.

5. Q: What happens to the tag when the can is empty?
   A: The valve (with the tag) can be unscrewed and transferred to a new canister, or the tag can be decommissioned in your system upon disposal.

Future industry manufacturing complex spans an area of nearly 7,000 square meters. It incorporates six high-speed aerosol valve production lines and more than 30 special valve production lines.

Each year, Future industry aerosol can produce up to one billion aerosol valves. Our main products are air freshener aerosol valve, insecticide spray aerosol valve, butane gas aerosol valve, carburetor cleaner aerosol valve, ribbon spray aerosol valve, snow spray aerosol valve,paint spray aerosol valve, fluid spray aerosol valve, portable stove gas aerosol valve, 360 degree aerosol valve, powder spray aerosol vave. Also we have expanded the export market of aerosol metering valves, aerosol caps and aerosol cans.We have also built five standardized workshops to conduct different operations in order to meet the requirements of various customers to ensure we always meet production demands and timelines.

Production of the valve mounting cups is carried out in this workshop. We use a high-speed automatic stamping machine to transform high-quality steel plates into valve mounting cups. Due to the high degree of its automation, this equipment can help to reduce labor costs and increase production efficiency significantly.

In addition, we utilize an efficient machine that can automatically press an outer rubber ring into a valve mounting cup in order to provide superior sealing performance in the process of final assembly.

This workshop contains over 20 injection molding machines and three injection molding lines. Among them, our injection molding machines are used to produce a variety of accessories such as valve stems, valve chambers, actuators, and spray caps, etc.

Due to efficient automation, we require a very small number of staff to run these more than 20 injection molders. During the production process, our quality control inspectors are responsible for sampling and testing every batch of accessories. Additionally, our injection molding line has the capability to produce various sizes of dip tubes in automatic mode.

This workshop is used to assemble all kinds of accessories. It is equipped with automated assembly equipment to greatly increase production efficiency and provide our customers with enhanced profits.

After assembly is completed, our valves will be automatically counted and packed. We are proud to say we are one of the few companies in the industry that possess advanced abilities in product research and development. Every new product needs an innovative mold. For this reason we utilize high-precision wire cutting machines and machine tools that can form our molds into exquisite shapes.

We possess a wide range of technical production and R & D expertise
