Production Control
RFID systems enable production-relevant data to be stored for each workpiece on the associated workpiece carriers. This enables an efficient and workpiece-specific production process.
Traceability
RFID systems capture and collect production data throughout the entire production process. This makes it possible to ensure traceability of batches at all times.
Location & Stock Information
RFID readers enable the in-house material flow to be monitored by using them to record current stock levels.
Industrial RFID Technology for Modern Manufacturing
Industrial RFID systems enable non-visual communication between an RFID reader and an RFID transponder. For this purpose, the RFID reader, which acts as both a write and read device simultaneously, first emits an electromagnetic field. This is received by a transponder which adapts the information. The returned signal is interpreted by the RFID reader and the information contained in the signal is processed. Thanks to a high degree of protection and temperature resistance, RFID systems also enable identification solutions in challenging process environments. All-round visible LEDs and additional alarm configuration options increase process reliability. Thanks to the integrated IO-Link interface, parameters can be quickly modified and saved.

Identification Solutions with Industrial RFID Systems
RFID Detection and Control of Workpiece Carriers
In special machine construction, workpiece carriers pass through various processes in one system. RFID readers are installed at several points in the system so that the workpiece carriers are reliably detected and identified at each station. The transponder attached to the workpiece carrier is recorded and read by the reader and can be provided with new data for controlling subsequent processes.
Track & Trace in the Food Industry with RFID
In the food industry, traceability of products must be ensured at every stage of manufacturing and processing. RFID transponders attached to the food trays are written with data by the RFID readers and read out to ensure traceability at all times.
