Systems and methods for use in facilitating a manufacturing operation

Abstract:

A system for use in facilitating a manufacturing operation that includes a wireless beacon paired with each vehicle of multiple vehicles routable along a production line in a sequence. The wireless beacon emits a signal containing information that identifies the paired vehicle. A wireless transceiver is at a predetermined location along the production line, and the wireless transceiver scans for the signal. A server device is in communication with the wireless transceiver. The server device stores pairing data of which wireless beacon is paired with each vehicle, and sequence data of the vehicles routed along the production line, and receives, from the wireless transceiver, a signal containing the information that identifies the paired vehicle. The server device also verifies, based on the pairing data, the sequence data, and the information in the signal, that an order in which the vehicles enter the predetermined location corresponds to the sequence.
