Tire Technology Expo in Hanover Celebrates 20th Anniversary

As in many other industries, RFID has also proven itself as a track & trace technology in the automotive and automotive supply industry. Pepperl+Fuchs has developed a customer-specific RFID solution for tracking semi-finished products in tire manufacturing that can be seamlessly integrated into the production process there.

In addition to rubber production at high ambient temperatures of 160 °C to 200 °C, vulcanization also involves molding the tire into its final shape at pressures of around 24 bar. Rugged signal conditioners from Pepperl+Fuchs' K-System ensure continuous monitoring and control of the press.

Plants, products, and systems are becoming increasingly networked, which is why there are considerable efforts to establish M2M communication standards. The new IO-Link masters with OPC UA interface allow cross-vendor, platform-independent information exchange in cloud-based and hybrid systems. This enables more streamlined, transparent processes within tire production.

With this future-proof interface, users can perform comprehensive diagnostics and configure IO-Link devices during operation. Pepperl+Fuchs offers you an end-to-end IO-Link system solution that includes a range of IO-Link sensors and infrastructure.

From high bay warehouses to conveyor technology—our comprehensive product portfolio offers the ideal solutions for your individual applications. You'll enjoy easy-of-use and seamless integration into your application.
