In this post, I explore the critical factors within industrial settings that affect UHF RFID functionality and provide strategies for overcoming these challenges.

Strong security practices are needed to protect IP, prevent production delays, and ensure safety.

The new wireless handheld RFID scanner from Balluff delivers the benefit of reading/writing RFID tags as well as 1D/2D barcode reading and an NFC antenna in the familiar shape of a smartphone.

Choosing an RFID tag for your traceability application can be difficult given the huge variation of tags available today.

With more and more consumers setting their sights on ‘Drive Electric,’ manufacturers must prepare themselves for alternative solutions to combustion engines. 

In today’s manufacturing environment, which is characterized by change and unpredictable demand, the traditional assembly line is no longer convenient. New, flexible assembly systems are needed to deal with high production variety.

Knowing exactly where to find things is essential, whether it’s a custom-made part, an urgent production order, or the last few modules required to reassemble an engine after maintenance.

Being able to identify parts and assemblies on the line is vital for a number of reasons. It ensures that the right parts are installed in the right products. It helps to keep track of production, inventories and supplies.
