Advantages of RFID tags

Several tasks are combined: the cable tie acts as an information carrier, product label and cable fastening – all at the same time

  • Unique identification as RFID tag is programmed with unique code
  • Fast and paperless data collection
  • Elimination of typing errors in reports
  • Reduction of working hours due to reduction of paper work
  • Controlled administration of devices and warehouse
  • Ability to hold more data than barcodes
  • Comply with legislation
  • Easy to share up-to-date information
  • Manage equipment inspections, maintenance work etc.
  • Reliable operation in harsh environments, for example wet, dusty, dirty conditions; corrosive environments; vibration and shock
  • No need for contact or line-of-sight

RFID tracking: clever solutions with RFID cable ties and accessories

We have developed a range of RFID cable ties, accessories and RFID readers to make your RFID tracking and identification processes more efficient. The variety of applications makes RFID technology so unique:

  • Increase efficiency in production: Many steps are eliminated because cable ties with RFID tags incorporate several functions – fastening, bundling, labeling, identification product safety , product RFID tracking and much more
  • Reliably label and identify products also in harsh environments: stored information on the RFID tag remains readable even in extreme production and operational environments at any time
  • Mark and identify inaccessible parts: RFID cable ties are a reliable alternative when conventional identification such as barcode labels can be read only with difficulty – e.g. through space restrictions or can’t be labeled because of material reasons
  • Support applications in industry 4.0: the purpose of an intelligent factory is almost unlimited. Today cable ties are used in almost every industry – in combination with RFID technology there is great potential for supporting the notion of a Smart Factor

Typical RFID applications in industry

RFID tracking is used in many industries. The combination of material, transponder, reading distance and surroundings decides on the use of it. RFID tags in cable ties are used for applications such as:

  • Resource and asset management
  • Theft preventing and traceability
  • Security tagging
  • Essential maintenance
  • Attendance verification and time recording
  • Leak detection
  • Baggage tagging
  • Vehicle identification
  • Automation processes

There is an ever increasing need by business to ensure the traceability and record-keeping of calibration, location and maintenance requirements to current quality and accreditation standards.

Our products for smart RFID tracking

RFID cable ties

Nylon cable ties with either high or low RFID transponder – T50RFID

RFID cable ties provide an innovative solution for clear and rapid product RFID tracking.

The nylon cable ties are equipped with an RFID transponder and therefore combine the numerous advantages of regular cable ties with RFID technology.

Metal detectable RFID cable ties with identification tag – MCTRFID

Metal content RFID cable ties are made with a percentage of a metallic trace element (magnet/X-Ray) and have been especially developed for industries where the potential for contamination is a problem.

The ties can be used for securing, serialisation, tracking and identification of products e. g. in the food processing chemical or pharmaceutical industry to support quality control effort.

Metal detectable RFID cable ties with identification tag – MCTRFID

Stainless steel RFID cable ties are fitted with a slide-on carrier for a high frequency (HF) or an ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID transponder.

These ties are ideal for product identification in all areas of harsh environment where high tensile strength and durability is of importance.

Accessories with RFID transponder for RFID tracking

HEXTAG – High Frequency (HF)

The HEXTAG made from PA66 is equipped with transponder of HF frequency. The central hole allows a simple mounting in applications where a RFID cable tie solution is not suitable.

CRADLE – High Frequency (HF)

The CRADLE, made of TPU and equipped with a HF transponder can be used on standard cable ties.

RFID Readers/Writers to improve process reliability and quality

Handheld RFID Reader

The HS9 handheld RFID readers are designed to read LF transponders and read/write to HF transponders fitted to RFID cable ties and accessories.

The HS9 reader is available for low frequency (LF, 125 kHz, read-only) and for high-frequency (HF, 13.56 MHz, read & write) transponders.

RFID – Reader – Desktop

The RFID-DT22 desktop reader for stationary use has been designed to read and write from/to high frequency (HF 13.56 MHz) transponders fitted to RFID cable ties and accessories.

The readers act as an interface between the RFID transponder and computer systems or databases. Radio waves transmit the data from the RFID transponder to the reader, so that contactless reading and/or writing of information is possible.
