RFID technology for industrial applications

Dipole has been the pioneer in the use of RFID technology for industrial applications and optimisation of production processes. Obtaining higher productivity, reducing direct manpower in processes that do not add value to the product and achieving a clear improvement of schedules and forecasts is a fundamental part of being competitive in today's world.

Capturing data where it is not humanly possible and tracking time, with its traceability and added features, are some of the key contributions of RFID technology in industrial processes.

RFID Industry

Processes where RFID adds value

  • In the supplies of production lines
  • Process control of each production line
  • Asset management or asset-tracking
  • Gain complete visibility of the productivity
  • Place alerts at strategic points to avoid production errors
  • Carry out the packaging with all associated production data
  • Integrate real-time movements and data with your IT system, ERP, MES, WMS or other systems

There is no doubt that the emergence of RFID technology applied to the industrial sector has optimised and added dynamism to all the processes of the chain, from start to finish. Some of the processes where RFID adds value are:

FAQs about RFID solutions for the Industry

The RFID technology serves to identify and control automatically materials, pieces, products, assets, tools, locations, inventories and shipments. It allows to improve industrial traceability, reduce manual errors and increase the visibility of productive and logistical processes.

The barcode requires direct visual reading and normally identifies elements one by one. RFID allows reading multiple identifications at a distance and without direct visual contact, which accelerates processes such as inventory, receptions, internal movements and shipments.

Yes. RFID enables control of the Work in Process or WIP, identifying products, pieces or sub-assemblies in the various manufacturing, assembly, transformation or handling phases.

Yes. There are industrial RFID tags designed for metal, temperature, humidity, chemical products, shocks, vibrations or cleaning processes. The choice of tag and reading configuration is key to ensuring the reliability of the system.

Yes. RFID enables the identification, location, and control of assets such as tools, molds, cars, containers, racks, cages, fixtures, equipment, or returnable packaging, reducing losses and search times.

Yes. An industrial RFID solution can connect with enterprise management, warehouse, production or maintenance systems to automate records, update stock, validate movements and maintain digital traceability of the process.

The RFID can be applied in automotive, food, chemistry, metallurgy, electronics, machinery, energy, industrialized construction, textiles, logistics, packaging and any environment where it is necessary to control products, materials, assets or processes.
