At IVECO Czech Republic a.s., advanced FlexiRay UHF RFID technology is now playing a central role in transforming production processes. As a trusted RFID solutions provider, BARCO successfully delivered and integrated a real-time tracking system tailored to the challenging environment of IVECO’s paint shop.
Each bus frame is now equipped with a UHF RFID tag, enabling seamless identification as it moves through multiple workstations on overhead tracks. Strategically placed FlexiRay SFR4 Slim Rugged Antennas ensure reliable, interference-resistant performance — even in the demanding industrial conditions of the automotive sector.
Prior to the RFID upgrade, IVECO relied on manual barcode scans for frame tracking — a process prone to delays and data gaps. With the new system in place, work-in-progress (WIP) visibility has dramatically improved, allowing the production team to detect bottlenecks early, react in real time, and ensure better workstation utilization. Automated alerts now notify staff when a workstation remains occupied too long, contributing to smoother operations and more efficient scheduling.
FlexiRay’s technology does more than just track movement — it helps optimize operational performance. By integrating RFID into IVECO’s existing production workflow, BARCO enabled a significant boost in transparency, traceability, and responsiveness. The solution supports real-time production data, improves planning accuracy, and contributes to IVECO’s goals for digital transformation and process automation.
We are proud to support IVECO Czech Republic in implementing cutting-edge RFID solutions that align with the future of smart manufacturing.
