Technologies
Learn more about intelligent communication technologies such as IO-Link, RFID, or Ethernet-APL, which enable transparent and digitized processes in your plant. These key technologies for setting up IIoT networks ensure reliable data transmission from the field level to the controller, to software systems, and into the cloud. In addition, Pepperl+Fuchs offers an IoT system based on an ultrasonic sensor using LoRaWAN® technology, which autonomously transmits data over a range of several kilometers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on RFID (Part 1)
RFID stands for “radio frequency identification” and refers to technologies that use radio waves to identify objects or people automatically. RFID makes use of the so-called “air interface,” transmitting electromagnetic waves through the air. Typically, a serial number or other product- /object-related information (“identifier”) is stored on a microchip. This chip is attached to an antenna that enables the chip to transfer the information needed for identification to a reading device.
