RFID printers in use with our customers

Tracking in the assembly process:

Objects are marked with a unique RFID label and tracked using RFID readers throughout the entire assembly process right through to goods issue. All relevant information is provided to each worker at their workstation. 

 

Monitoring of the production processes:

Components are labeled with a serial number. All system parameters generated (pressure, temperature) are stored as information in a database. The data is linked to the serial number of the component. This ensures complete traceability.

 

Requirements monitoring in the automotive industry:

Indispensable identification of components using a printed RFID tag to meet the requirements of car manufacturers in production.

 

Extended control:

While RFID-tagged items are being recorded on a conveyor belt, order and picking-specific information can be compared on the printed label.

Integration of RFID printers into existing ERP systems

How is the automated creation of tags possible?

The integration of RFID printers into existing systems enables the automation of data collection and processing. By connecting RFID printers to an ERP system, tags can be automatically programmed with the information stored in the system. This includes product information, serial numbers, production data and location data.

RFID tags are created automatically using special software, which can be part of the ERP system or an external solution (e.g. BarTender). The data to be programmed is transmitted via communication between the software and the RFID printer.

 

The process

  1. Data transmission: The ERP system generates the information required for each tag and transmits it to the RFID printer.
  2. Programming and printing: The RFID printer receives the data, programs the tag's RFID chip and simultaneously prints the required information on the physical label.
  3. Application: The printed and programmed RFID tag is then applied to the product or object. Application units are also available for this purpose - devices that apply labels efficiently and precisely to objects.

Future trends

3D printing

3D printing enables the rapid creation of prototypes and customized designs for labels. Waste can also be reduced through the use of more sustainable materials. Companies have the option of printing smaller batches and creating individual labels for special occasions.

 

IoT

Increasing connectivity in Industry 4.0 and the IoT could lead to an even wider range of connectivity options, including advanced wireless technologies. Blockchain integrations for improved security and traceability are also conceivable.

 

Flexibility and adaptability

Future printers could become even more modular (retrofitting different modules, such as RFID) to support a wider range of applications and materials, including different types of labels and tags.

 

User friendliness

Setting up, managing and maintaining the devices can be simplified with intuitive touchscreens and improved user interfaces.

 

Print speed

The devices can be further optimized to achieve faster printing speeds.

 

    RFID tags

    RFID tags can be made thinner and more flexible. This makes it easier to adapt printers and work with different label sizes.
