RFID from Pepperl+Fuchs
In a research project at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), twelve partners from industry and science joined forces to develop a flexible transport system. The result is KARIS PRO, an autonomous vehicle that is currently tested in practice. Dieter Schneider, Team Leader R&D Identification Systems at Pepperl+Fuchs, gives insight into the project...

RFID is a key enabler for future-proof digital factories in the sense of Industry 4.0: when a product is marked with an RFID tag it stores information about necessary production steps or special requirements. More than that, it can store new, additional information when the production steps have been completed. Attaching RFID tags to production items introduces dynamic structures and flexibility to all areas of manufacturing.
