Feature Update: Improved Lot Data Export During Test Runs

The number of RFID tags being produced has increased significantly in recent years, and the growth is expected to continue with the expansion of new application areas. As a result, the need for production speed, efficiency, and various levels of automation continues to grow. Production batches of RFID labels are now manufactured at an accelerating pace, creating greater demand for efficiency. At Voyantic, we continuously develop our systems to meet the future needs of the RFID industry.

With the latest software updates of Tagsurance® 3 (version 4.1.7 and up), we have improved how test data can be accessed and exported. Previously, the test data could only be exported after a job was completed or paused. Tagsurance would mark the transition between lots, but no batch-specific data could be accessed while the system ran. With the latest update, the system enables smooth exporting of lot-specific data even during an active run. Most importantly, you can now download a summary of the lot data—such as yield—during the production process. This makes it possible to review lot-specific performance in real time and, if necessary, mark certain rolls for rework if they don’t meet quality requirements.

Exporting batch results via browser UI while the job is running

While the top menu’s general “Export data” button remains inactive while the job runs, you can click the double-arrow icon to open the lot menu. By hovering over the desired lot, you can export data for that specific production batch while the run is ongoing.

The export function downloads a file package directly to the computer in use. The package includes test data in CSV format, containing the summary file and results for every individual tag tested, allowing for example, closer inspection of failed labels.

See below a short screen recording video demonstrating how the enhanced feature works in the browser UI

Exporting batch results via API while the job is running

With Tagsurance 3 version 4.1.7 (and up), the same new lot data export functionality is also available for customers using the API to export test data. 

Perform the lot data export following these steps:

1) Get the currently running job ID with calling status API `GET /v1/status`

2) Get jobs batches with batch stats API `GET /v1/jobs/{job id}/batch-stats`

3) Start batch result export by calling export `POST /v1/jobs/{job id}/batches/{batch id}/export`

4) Check that export is completed and ready for download by checking export status with status API `GET /v1/status`

5) Download the batch results zip file package
