Cable with RFID chip

January 2010 Sensors & Transducers

An RFID system consists of a transponder, a transceiver and some type of support IT infrastructure. The system interfaces directly to personal computers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and industrial network interface modules and is frequently used in track and trace applications.

Cables and connectors are often assembled and disassembled in numerous locations during production stages for example, making it difficult to keep track of them. Lapp Group with RFID offers a solution to this problem by positively identifying all components. Advantages include: bulk scanning, resistance to external influences, simultaneous reading and writing of data and non-contact data reading beyond the line-of-sight.

All of the advantages of RFID have now been combined with high quality products from Lapp Kabel. RFID chips and RFID sensors are integrated into the cable and connector during production. This without detrimental effects to the flexibility and physical durability of the components. The innovation allows the cables and connectors to be used for many applications, for example: identification, inventory management, storage of measurement logs, temperature and moisture measurement. Under the motto ‘Lapp Products Learn How to Talk’, the products speak for themselves and provide customers with valuable information.
