Linking Press Load Data to Final Component via QR Code

Project Objective

Bike Clutch Traceability

This interactive HTML demo shows how a FIFO buffer inside a Mitsubishi PLC can maintain traceability between load values recorded at position A (load test station) and the physical clutch component that arrives later at position B (QR printing station). The goal is to guarantee the correct QR payload is printed for the tested part.

01

Component Testing

Hydraulic load/pressure test logs peak torque for each clutch component.

02

PLC Data Capture

Mitsubishi PLC samples load values, time stamps them, and pushes them into a FIFO buffer.

03

Conveyor & Vision

Encoder pulses map physical slots while a camera inspects rivet quality and assigns pass/fail.

04

QR Print → Scanning + Data Storage

Passed components receive a QR label; once printed, the code goes to the PC, where scanning triggers the PLC/DB handshake that stores the mapped load.

Position A: Testing

Load value captured and appended to FIFO buffer along with slot index from conveyor encoder.

Buffer Tracking

Each conveyor advance shifts the buffer, keeping the oldest entry aligned with the downstream station.

Position B: QR Print → Scanning + Data Storage

When the component reaches the printer, PLC dequeues the matched load value, the QR alone goes to the PC, and the subsequent scan writes the correct load record into the database.
