Product from Neosid: NFC-capable NeoTAG® Plug FG/MFG10340

NeoTAG® Plug FG/MFG10340

Reading capability with mobile devices

The NFC-capable NeoTAG® Plug FG/MFG10340 demonstrates the consistent further development of the NeoTAG® family. It offers the same resistance to harsh environmental conditions as the longstanding market-proven miniature RFID transponders NeoTAG® FG/MFG4335 in a 4 mm housing. The external dimensions of the NeoTAG® Plug FG/MFG10340 are 10.3 millimeters in diameter and only four millimeters in height. This enables reliable readability by almost all modern smartphones that offer NFC functionality.

A 10 mm hole is already available in many fixtures on machine tools and machining centers at the factory. With the easy to handle press-fit housing, the NeoTAG® Plug FG/MFG10340 can be installed safely, quickly and reliably. Following the concepts of Industry 4.0, smart tools for the implementation of transparent, digital processes in industrial applications can be created in just a few steps.

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.
