A German-based company is now offering a smart label series that protects RFID chips against that are used in harsh manufacturing and operation environments.

Schreiner ProTech, a Germany-based global leader in developing and manufacturing innovative functional labels with value-added benefits for the automotive and engineering-based industries, recently adapted its Robust RFID-Labels to ensure reliable, trackable connectivity for products across a broad set of high-leverage sectors, including electronic and automotive components.

“Equipping high-leverage components and products with RFID labels optimizes processes, enhancing internal organization efficiencies and overall supply chain security,” said Katharina Totev, Product Manager RFID for Schreiner ProTech, in a press statement.

Secured RFID-Tag

Schreiner ProTech’s Robust RFID-Label consists of an integrated RFID tag secured via the label’s special construction. According to company officials, this avoids potential damage to the RFID chip due to mechanical impact during the manufacturing and handling processes, or harsh environments during the shipping, warehousing or operation phases.

The result is more reliable RFID chip performance from production to final use – even on difficult-to-label containers. Notably, Schreiner ProTech can customize the label design to suit individual applications and manufacturing setups.

The Robust RFID-Labels utilize protective elements designed to systematically absorb mechanical stress. Customizable to the specific mechanical stress conditions encountered by individual customers, the thin, flexible structures are suitable for use with all RFID technologies and antenna geometries. They are easily incorporated into a broad range of production scenarios.

U.S. Operations

Schreiner ProTech operates production sites in Blauvelt and Shanghai, developing film-based functional components and industrial marking and security solutions. From thermal-transfer printing, laser marking and RFID solutions all the way to pressure compensation seals, the certified development partner and systems supplier offers solutions that help optimize processes, reduce costs, make life healthier and safer, and enhance human mobility.

Schreiner ProTech’s solutions for the mobility and electronics markets, as well as for mechanical engineering, are specifically tailored to meet customers’ needs.

“Robust features that safeguard RFID labels throughout a product’s lifespan are valuable tools toward achieving these objectives,” said Totev.
