Transponder
A transponder is a radio-based data carrier that stores information within an RFID system and transmits it via a radio field. It usually consists of a chip with an antenna structure and makes objects clearly identifiable without line of sight. Depending on its design, it operates with or without its own power source, which directly affects its application area and read range. The storage capacity can also vary depending on the application. The right design ensures that containers, workpieces or load carriers are identified reliably during the ongoing process.
