Cogiscan Awarded Patent for Automated Manufacturing Control System
31 August 2006
Cogiscan Inc. was recently awarded a new patent relating to "Automated manufacturing control system" by the US Patent Office.
This global patent was originally filed in 2000 to protect the innovative aspects of the Cogiscan material tracking platform. This became the foundation of the current suite of Cogiscan solutions that utilize a combination of barcode and RFID technologies to track, trace and control all materials on the production floor.
Over the past two years Cogiscan has announced strategic partnerships with industry leaders including Fuji, Juki and Siemens among others. In these instances the Cogiscan RFID technology is integrated in the OEM equipment and machine software to provide additional functionality and make the machines more intelligent while eliminating the need for human intervention associated with traditional barcode-based systems.
