VEGA sets new standards in sensor identification with RFID integration

VEGA Grieshaber KG takes industrial sensor identification to a new level: by integrating the robust RFID tags of the smart-DOME series from smart-TEC, the VEGAPULS 6X radar level sensor is not only highly precise, but can also be clearly identified under the most extreme conditions.

RFID technology: durable and reliable

Thanks to RFID tags, sensors remain easily traceable even after years of use. This surpasses traditional methods such as barcodes or punched tags, which often fail under harsh conditions. "An RFID tag makes it possible to reliably identify our sensors even after intensive use," explains Stefan Kaspar, Product Manager at VEGA.

The tags are made from a special material that can withstand high mechanical, thermal and chemical loads. They can be flexibly attached to a wide variety of surfaces - using magnets, adhesives or other fastening options.

The basis for the digital twin
The RFID tags serve as the basis for the "Digital Twin", which virtually maps sensors across their entire life cycle. Real-time data directly on site enables efficient decision-making and increases transparency in process automation.

Safe and standardized
In addition, the tags can be individually described, which enables specific measuring point identification, for example. This reduces operating errors, simplifies documentation and increases safety. The development is based on international standards such as IEC 61406 and the specifications of the Digital Data Chain Consortium (DDCC), which ensures cross-manufacturer interoperability.
