NeoTAG® Flag FG5242: Miniaturized HF transponder from NEOSID

NeoTAG® Flag FG5242

Expansion of RFID tagging options

Thanks to a small opening, the NeoTAG® Flag FG5242 can be attached to objects quickly and easily with a cable tie, for example - and can also be reused after replacing the cable tie. The NeoTAG® Flag FG5242 can be read with standard readers with low antenna power. Reading tests with a modern smartphone, such as Apple iPhone X, have shown good reading performance.

This makes it ideally suited for industrial applications such as the chemical industry, where re-drilling or gluing to objects for the attachment of transponders is not possible. Like all miniaturized HF transponders from NEOSID, the new NeoTAG® Flag FG5242 withstands the most adverse conditions in industrial environments and still provides an amazing reading range.

Connectivity in Dental Production

Tool Management Processes and procedures in industrial production engineering have been subject to continuous optimization for decades. Sensors on machines and tools provide data to improve processes for reduced set-up times and ever more precise determination of operating times. The aim is to make optimum use of production systems and to avoid unproductive downtimes wherever possible. In order to reliably predict an overhaul and/or replacement times for operating equipment and thus be able to carry out optimum system and maintenance planning, it is helpful to know the life cycle and current status of all components involved as comprehensively as possible. In modern machining centers, all components involved in the manufacturing process are digitized and linked by computer. As a key aspect of Industry 4.0, CAM systems together with ERP systems optimize industrial production technology. The technology for the RFID transponders plays an important role in this.

HASCO Digitalizes Components for Injection Moulding Tools with RFID

Mouldmaking and the Metal Industry Hasco has been tagging two-stage ejectors with RFID since 2023. The tag, which is just a few millimetres in size and has an orange design, optimizes processes and services for mould manufacturers worldwide. From the perspective of the medium-sized company with around 700 employees, the RFID tag represents an innovative novelty in the mould making market. Alexander Ulman and Andre Brandt explain how RFID optimizes processes and why the solution represents a leap into the digital age for mould making.
