Small chip, big effect. Contactless identification of packaging. <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Digitalization does not stop at the packaging industry. RFID tags (Radio Frequency Identification) are now widely used and have become increasingly important, especially in the context of logistics optimization. The wafer-thin chips, which are incorporated into the product, enable efficient management throughout the entire supply chain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

RFID transponders can be read without contact and have a range of 6 meters (passive transponders) or 10 meters (active responders), depending on the frequency range. The radio waves can also penetrate shelf walls or truck tarpaulins. This type of identification enables data to be recorded quickly and precisely, increasing efficiency in logistics. Compared to barcodes, a larger volume of data can be stored and data access is simplified through automation. They are mainly used for traceability and to track packaging. They are also used to support reusable systems, as our trend article on the subject shows. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
