RFID Sensors
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) sensors are electronic tags that contain an integrated circuit and antenna that stores information about the object to which it is attached. The RFID system makes it possible to trace, identify and access control functions through a simple radio frequency link. When a tag enters the field generated by the smart antenna/reader, it detects the signal and exchanges the data between its memory and the smart antenna/reader. RFID sensors can improve the efficiency of manufacturing processes and improve equipment oversight.
RFID systems are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions such as, extreme temperatures, chemical exposure, humidity and abrasive elements, which makes it an ideal choice for industrial environments. RFID tags can store information that can be used to optimize production processes. It can tag and monitor real-time movement of raw materials, which can lead to efficient production planning. It can monitor equipment within a facility by tagging machines, trucks, forklifts, conveyers and collect timely and accurate data. RFID sensors can provide detailed information about the usage, maintenance and repair history of each piece of equipment.
