RFID chip

An RFID chip is the central storage element for contactless data transmission. The microchip secures unique identification numbers and process-relevant product information for automatic data capture. As soon as a reader generates an electromagnetic field, the component is activated. The chip uses the absorbed energy to transmit its stored data back to the system via a coupled RFID antenna. The available storage capacity depends entirely on the specific application. Passive models do not require an integrated battery for continuous operation. The compact design allows for protective integration into various carrier materials, guarding against dirt and mechanical stress. Industrial companies embed the miniaturised hardware directly into plastic pallets for the automated recording of material movements at loading docks.
