With the mass production and use of car, the social are also increasing the requirements the automotive industry development. More and more automobile manufacturers are hoping to establish an efficient identification system, so that management would be enhanced to improve the efficiency and reduce the error rate. What’s more, motor-dom has been the important application field of RFID technique. In this paper, the paper is to carry out a detailed analysis of technology and research for RFID anti-collision system to guide manufacturers to improve the efficiency of RFID systems in the automotive assembly line and to solve the problem of collision multi-tag identification.

This research paper aims to predict the automotive Body-In-White (BIW) robotic welding assembly line performance. A combinational prediction model based on the Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) is developed. Classical methods are often used to predict the assembly line throughput, but not ideal. A combinational prediction model is applied for comprehensive analysis and prediction of the assembly line throughput. The various case studies presented in this paper indicate that the precision of the model is better than the other models. This research has significant practical value to the assembly plant because, based on the prediction, plant can make commitment to achieve the production to meet the market demand. Unpredictable performance of the assembly line in the plant leads to more overtime, less time for maintenance and eventually hurting the company bottom line.

Fracture of the base of the third metacarpal with associated avulsion of the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon is a rare injury. We report such a fracture and the unusual resulting complication of division of the extensor pollicis longus tendon by the avulsed bony fragment. Careful monitoring using lateral radiographs is needed to make the diagnosis and displacement of the avulsed fragment warrants open reduction and internal fixation.
