Track-and-trace made easy : complete line of traceability solutions
Traceability creates lean manufacturing processes, simplifies just-in-time deliveries, aids legal certainty and ensures product quality. The sensor specialist and RFID provider Balluff can look back on 25 years of experience in this area and offers an extensive portfolio of track-and-trace solutions. The portfolio was recently expanded to include new RFID technologies for high-temperature applications, which are often called for in the semiconductor industry or in paint-spray lines and drying ovens in the automotive sector.
Balluff offers not only the entire spectrum of flexibly combinable LF, HF and UHF-RFID components, but also a variety of stationary bar-code readers by means of which its customers can realize individual and economical traceability solutions on a high technical level. Data carriers mounted directly on a workpiece, a workpiece carrier or on equipment gaplessly record all steps and lots of a production sequence. This occurs in running operation, so that the data can be evaluated in real time or later – even after years – for traceability purposes.Balluff, with its RFID systems of the BIS series, offers industry-proven solutions for extremely rough environments. With its variety of robust data carriers and read/write heads with high enclosure rating, the identification systems solve nearly every application problem, be it in material flow monitoring, automated assembly, warehousing or the control and quality assurance of flexible production lines.
Because Balluff has successfully worked together with proven system integrators for years, the user always obtains individual, economical solutions on a high level that are perfectly matched to his needs.
