Asset RFID
Balluff offers a wide array of industrial RFID solutions for indentifying and providing a means of tracking today’s more expensive assets. In today’s sophisticated manufacturing environments, there are many items that have significant value associated with them. These include tools like welders and jigs, custom hand tools, systems like custom assembly or packaging stations, line jigs, as well as the storage containers these products are placed in. With RFID these assets can be marked electronically, enabling them to be identified and tracked for both security and location.
Balluff offers read-only Easy ID and read/write ID Plus solutions to attach or embed into these valuable assets, easily interfacing any control or logistics monitoring system.
Start your selection here: Step 1: How are you trying to track?
