AIDC Solutions

Automatic identification, engineered into the process.

AIDC (automatic identification and data capture) solutions that connect barcode, RFID and QR identification to your plant software — surveyed, integrated and commissioned by Orion Techno Solutions.

What AIDC Covers

Identification technologies, wired into real workflows.

Automatic identification only creates value when captured data reaches the right system at the right moment. Orion engineers the devices, the middleware and the application layer as one solution.

01

Barcode & QR Identification

1D and 2D barcode design, symbology selection, scanner configuration, label formats and verification-grade print quality for shop floor and warehouse scanning.

RFID Systems

HF and UHF RFID with tag selection, antenna placement, reader configuration, tag encoding, fixed gate reads and handheld verification workflows.

Handheld & Mobile AIDC

Rugged handhelds and Android devices running scan-driven workflows for picking, stock verification, asset audit and mobile inspections.

Printing & Marking

Label printers, thermal transfer, inkjet and laser marking integrated with production data so every printed code carries the correct, validated content.

AIDC Middleware

Edge services that capture read events, validate them against business rules, buffer on network failure and route them to applications and enterprise systems.

Enterprise Integration

Identified events delivered into ERP, SAP, MES, WMS, L2 and databases through controlled APIs, SQL interfaces and file exchange.

Why It Matters

Identification removes the guesswork from plant data.

Manual recording is slow, inconsistent and impossible to audit. AIDC gives every material, part, asset and shipment a machine-readable identity that software can act on instantly — the foundation of traceability, inventory accuracy and automated paperwork.

Orion works across steel, automotive, manufacturing, warehousing and defence operations where identification has to survive heat, dust, metal interference and real production pressure.

01
Eliminate manual data entry
Scan-driven capture removes transcription errors at every station.
02
Full material and asset traceability
Every movement, gate event and transaction recorded against a unique identity.
03
Inventory you can trust
Stock verification and cycle counts executed on handheld devices with live database updates.
04
Compliance-ready records
Auditable identification history for quality, dispatch and regulatory requirements.
05
Connects to the systems you already run
Middleware delivers AIDC events into existing ERP, MES and WMS platforms.
Delivery Process

How an AIDC project is executed.

The same disciplined execution Orion applies to industrial integration projects — from requirement definition through site commissioning.

Process Study

Where identification is needed, who scans, what fails today and what the data must feed.

Site & Tag Survey

Materials, metals, read distances, interference points and network coverage.

Technology Selection

Barcode, RFID or hybrid — chosen for the process, not the brochure.

System Design

Devices, middleware, data model, application screens and interfaces.

Pilot & FAT

Representative trials with real items before production pressure begins.

Site Rollout

Installation, reader and printer commissioning, user training.

SAT & Handover

Live validation, documentation and go-live support.

Support

AMC, device diagnostics and workflow enhancements.

AIDC FAQ

Common questions about AIDC projects.

What does AIDC mean?

AIDC stands for Automatic Identification and Data Capture — barcode, QR, RFID and scanner technologies that read identification data automatically and feed it into software systems instead of relying on manual entry.

Should we use barcode or RFID for our plant?

Barcode suits labelled items read at fixed points at low cost. RFID wins when reads are non-line-of-sight, multiple tags pass at once, or gates and handhelds need bulk capture. Orion selects based on your process.

Can AIDC integrate with our existing ERP or WMS?

Yes. Middleware delivers AIDC events into your existing ERP, MES, WMS or L2 system through APIs, database interfaces or file exchange — with validation, retries and audit logging.

Do you supply barcode and RFID hardware?

Orion specifies scanners, RFID readers and tags, printers and consumables as part of the solution, and can equally integrate hardware you have already procured.

How long does an AIDC implementation take?

A focused barcode workflow can go live in a few weeks. Plant-wide RFID traceability with ERP integration typically runs a few months across survey, pilot, FAT and commissioning.

Do you support the system after commissioning?

Yes — AMC and support coverage for device diagnostics, middleware fixes, application changes and lifecycle enhancements as the process evolves.

Planning an AIDC project?

Tell us what has to be identified, where it moves, and which systems need the data.

Share the process, materials, read points and target systems — Orion will structure the AIDC architecture around the real plant requirement, from barcode labelling to full RFID traceability.
