RFID for Assembly Conveyors
By using Balluff’s RFID systems in the manufacturing process, pallets carrying parts from one manufacturing or assembly station to the next can be reliably tracked and provide data traceability without the use of unreliable bar code systems or complex databases.
 With the use of ID Plus’s read/writable RFID as the tracking and traceability method, reliable error proofing can be implemented to carry critical data with each part eliminating the need for a central database and improving quality.
Easy ID read-only RFID can provide the most durable, reliable and cost effective means over bar codes for part tracking applications.
With the most communication options available today, Balluff’s BIS processors make it easier to integrate RFID into any of today’s manufacturing control systems. And with a wide selection of read/write or read-only heads, Balluff’s RFID provides the most flexibility vs. range and mounting positions for versatility and easy integration in new or retrofit applications.
Start your selection here: Step 1: How are you trying to track?
- On pallets
- Robust, flexible, environmentally rugged - BIS C
- Lower cost, low memory capacity, read-only options - BIS L
- Long range, ISO compliant, high speed - BIS M
- Maximum memory capacity, high speed - BIS S
On parts
- Robust, flexible, environmentally rugged - BIS C
- Lower cost, low memory capacity, read-only options - BIS L
