Equipment manufacturers face a growing demand for high-precision, traceable automation solutions. By integrating RFID (Identificación por radio frecuencia) with industrial robots.
you can address key pain points:
- Reduce manual intervention in part identification and tool tracking.
- Minimize production errors through real-time data verification (por ejemplo, verifying assembly components).
- Increase customer ROI through predictive maintenance and lifecycle management.
- High downtime due to incorrect tools or mismatched parts.
- Labor-intensive inventory audits in large facilities.
- Compliance risks caused by untraceable production batches.
Your Competitive Advantage:
- Provide Industry 4.0 systems with embedded RFID capabilities.
- Become a leader in smart manufacturing solutions.
We can provide the following customizations:
- RFID Integration for Industrial Robots
- Best RFID Tags for Robotic Automation
- RFID Tracking Systems for Industrial Robots

- UHF RFID Products for Harsh Industrial Environments
How Robot and RFID Integration Works?
1.Hardware Synergy
- Lector de RFID: Installed on robot end effector or workstation.
- Industrial Robot: Programmable via PLC or controller (por ejemplo. Fanuc R-30iB, ABB IRC5).
- Etiqueta RFID: Attached to tool, pallet or part for unique identification.
2.Data Flow
RFID reader installed on robot scans tag during operation.
The tag’s EPC (Electronic Product Code) is sent to the robot controller.
The controller verifies the EPC against a database (por ejemplo. MES/ERP) Para:
- Adjust robot path to perform part-specific operations.
- Log tool usage for predictive maintenance.
- Trigger alarms for expired or defective components.
3.Software Integration
- Middleware (Middleware): Platforms such as Siemens RF650R connect RFID data with robot controllers.
- API: Custom scripts enable seamless communication (por ejemplo. KUKA.OfficeLite with RFID library).
Top RFID Tags for Industrial Robot Applications
Choose tags based on environment, read range, and durability. Here are the high-performance RFID tags for robotic automation:
| Tag Model | Frecuencia | Range | Durabilidad | Ideal Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NFC PPS Tag | HF (13.56 MHz) | 0.5m | Anti-metal | CNC tool changers |
| HF tiny RFID tag | HF | 0.3m | Heat-resistant (200° C) | Electronics assembly robots |
| RFID etiqueta del Metal | UHF | 7m | Rugoso, chemical-proof | Pallet handling robots |
Overcoming the biggest challenges facing equipment manufacturers
1.Complex integration
- Retrofit legacy robots with plug-and-play RFID kits.
