How Custom-Built Becomes Standardized
Pepperl+Fuchs showcases how custom-built design leads to a new standard product When existing RFID products are not up to the task, an application requires custom-built design. For a special challenge involving the tracking of tyre manufacturing pre-products, Pepperl+Fuchs, one of the leading suppliers of industrial RFID technology, developed a matching read / write head. By leveraging new technologies such as 3D printing and Hot Melt, the company was able to present the first prototype after only two weeks! The results and experiences of the custom design are now integrated into the broad portfolio of standardized products. This way, all Pepperl+Fuchs customers benefit from the company's applied solutions expertise.
