In response to surging global demand for RFID and smart card components, Zowinda has unveiled its latest innovation in industrial automation: the Auto Wire Embedding Machine (2-in-1 System). Engineered to meet the precision and scalability demands of modern inlay manufacturers, this dual-station system enables simultaneous wire embedding operations within a single, compact footprint, offering throughput of up to 2,800 coils per hour.

Meeting Market Demand with Parallel Processing

As industries from logistics and retail to security and fintech increasingly adopt RFID and contactless technologies, manufacturers face mounting pressure to scale production without compromising accuracy. Zowinda’s new 2-in-1 system directly addresses this challenge by integrating two fully independent embedding stations that operate in parallel. This architecture not only doubles potential output but also introduces operational resilience—allowing one station to undergo maintenance while the other remains productive.

Precision Through Advanced Automation

At the core of the system is a servo-driven motion platform with a 0.01mm positioning resolution, coordinated by a robust PLC control system. Each station features a customizable vacuum suction table that secures substrate materials with exceptional flatness during embedding. An integrated vacuum detection system monitors material presence and grip strength in real time, preventing defects caused by misalignment or slippage.

“Consistency is critical in antenna manufacturing,” said Mr.Wei, Director of Engineering at Zowinda. “Our system ensures every wire is placed with micron-level accuracy, batch after batch, which is essential for performance in end applications like contactless payment and IoT sensing.”

Flexible and Future-Ready Design

The machine supports standard panel layouts such as 3×8 and 6×8, with fully customizable configurations available. Its intelligent pre-positioning system includes double-sheet detection and automatic alignment, enabling quick changeovers between product formats. The independent X-Y axis design for feeding and receiving allows parameters to be tuned separately, offering manufacturers agility in responding to evolving product designs.

Driving Efficiency in Smart Production

Beyond speed and precision, the system is designed to optimize overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). The continuous dual-transfer station design minimizes non-processing time, while the cyclic vacuum table operation permits material replenishment without stopping production. Requiring only one operator to oversee the fully automated workflow—from feeding and correction to embedding and collection—the system significantly reduces labor dependency and human error.
