The earlier special components for limited application niches have turned into well thought-out systems that have great importance in many areas of the value chain. more

Möglichst viele identische Teile fertigen – was früher als ein Erfolgsrezept für profitable Fertigung galt, hat in den heutigen, von starkem Wettbewerb und anspruchsvollen Kunden gekennzeichneten Märkten keine Gültigkeit mehr. more

Industry has changed considerably over the last decades. The main goal used to be the ever more efficient production of identical products in as large quantities as possible utilizing so-called economies of scale. more

Nowadays, technologies for the automatic identification of objects have become indispensable for industries. Nevertheless, decision-makers are often skeptical at first given the costs. more

Receiving the right, customer-specific color during the painting process of any automobile production is ensured by the automatic and absolutely reliable radio frequency identification (RFID) of the car body. more

In the production environment of the automotive industry, radio frequency identification (RFID) has already established itself as a highly versatile technology for the identification. more

Radio frequency identification (RFID) has become indispensable in the production: Almost all German automotive plants rely on these transmitting memory chips. more

The pressure on manufacturing companies is increasing: Differentiated customer expectations, an unprecedented market transparency and the global competition demand new efforts to survive in the future. more

RFID systems have been field-proven for years in industry when it comes to highly efficient, distributed control of production processes. However, with the progressing integration of the value added chains, the EPCglobal standard is also increasingly used by manufacturing companies. more

Where is this product coming from? Is it genuine? How was it treated? Food scandals, e-commerce and a raised environmental awareness cause consumers to check more critically and countries to pass more stringent laws for their protection. more

Solutions for industrial identification are being used increasingly wherever there are requirements for flexibility in production, continuous transparency in the flow of goods through the supply chain, efficient asset management, or tracking and tracing of products. With the Simatic RF200, there is now an identification system that opens up new application possibilities. more

Technologies for the automatic identification play an important role in the efficient, high-quality production of diverse product versions. For this, the electronics manufacturing plant of the Siemens AG in Amberg, Germany, employs both 2D codes and radio frequency identification (RFID). more

Automatic identification aids in the safe detection and control of the flow of materials and goods in the production and in the goods distribution as well as in the service area and in the inventory management. Manual entries, format changes and paper records in contrast are too susceptible to errors. more

Production managers and suppliers in the automotive, metal, and electrical industries are under particularly high pressure: on one hand, they must lower costs continuously; on the other hand, they must comply with especially high quality standards. more

Time and time again, a wide variety of models, product liability and the constant demand for increasing efficiency pose challenges to manufacturing companies. The flow of materials has to be synchronized and quality data be collected, while simultaneously, the cycle times and the downtime risk have to be lowered. more

A modern factory is unimaginable without comprehensive IT systems. Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are currently completing many tasks faster and with greater precision than it would be possible with manual processes. more

The main task of RFID systems is the automatic acquisition of goods and objects. The potential of this new technology, however, is only fully tapped, if the read data is intelligently used and networked. more

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) applications are becoming more and more diverse. In industry, besides pure production controls, other tasks, such as asset management or the optimization of supply chains are increasingly being handled by RFID systems. more

Numerous questions occupy those responsible for logistics and production today more than ever – not only in the automobile sector. Radio frequency identification brings light into the darkness. more

Radio frequency identification (RFID) has been proving its worth for many years now in factory automation when it comes to reliable identification of workpieces in order-related production. more

Burger with ketchup: Where were its ingredients sourced? Are they still fresh? 79.99 euros for a bottle of sparkling wine: And is it "genuine"? The food and beverages industry can answer these questions on the basis of batch separation, tracking & tracing, and further optimization of production and logistics. Automatic identification – with RFID and 2D codes – will help here. more

Product identification was already utilized by stonemasons of the antiquity. In manufacturing plants, it increases their flexibility and economic efficiency. more

The ultra-high frequency (UHF) technology for recognizing and acquiring information via radio frequency identification (RFID) is already widespread in logistics applications. There is still a lot of potential for other fields, though: It is now finding its way into the industrial production. more

For years, the Siemens Gerätewerk Amberg manufacturing facility has relied on radio-frequency identification (RFID) in its manufacture of electrical devices. Now RFID also controls the material flow in a new manufacturing facility. more
