Custom Product Development
Custom RFID/NFC tags and beacons don't have to be expensive, custom-developed solutions. Thanks to our proven modular technology platform and the experience we've gained from many years of projects, we deliver tailor-made identification solutions - quickly, cost-effectively, and with a focus on practicality.
RFID/NFC Tags and Beacons with Sensors and LEDs for Industrial Applications
Custom-designed - built on proven solutions. Every application is different. That’s why we develop RFID/NFC tags and beacons - with sensors and LED functions as needed - tailored precisely to your requirements. In this context, “customized” doesn’t automatically mean a completely new development - because the right solution is rarely created from scratch.
Thanks to our many years of experience in the Auto-ID field, we draw on an extensive portfolio of completed projects and technologies. This enables us to quickly and cost-effectively provide a suitable solution for most applications. Our customers benefit from proven designs, tested materials, custom or standardized configurations, versatile mounting options, and optimized manufacturing processes.
Our versatile product portfolio is sure to impress
smart-TEC’s portfolio ranges from RFID/NFC tags and flexible RFID/NFC labels to industrial identification solutions, BLE beacons, digital nameplates, and comprehensive identification solutions for the Digital Product Passport. Depending on the requirements, we use a variety of materials, designs, mounting options, and technologies.
Whether for machines, systems, equipment, tools, containers, piping, or products - we develop the right identification solution for your application.
We also offer the right solution for demanding environments: we provide certified RFID/NFC tags and beacons, as well as ATEX-compliant products for safe use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
From the Initial Inquiry to Mass Production
Our development process is deliberately designed to be practical:
You describe your application, operating conditions, and goals to us. Together, we define the technical and economic requirements.
Sales and Product Management first review comparable projects and Auto-ID solutions that have already been implemented. Often, existing concepts can be adopted directly or adapted with minimal effort.
Upon request, we can produce initial samples or prototypes. These are tested and validated under real-world conditions before mass production begins.
The test results are incorporated directly into the final design. This results in a solution that is technically sound and fully tailored to your requirements.
Development Expertise When It’s Truly Needed
For particularly demanding applications, our in-house team of experts from sales, product management, and innovation management is ready to assist. Manufacturing and development work closely together to bring new concepts, custom designs, or special material combinations to life.
However, completely new developments account for only a small portion of our projects. In most cases, our customers benefit from existing solutions and our many years of expertise.
