The conversations at the shared AIM booth at which the team from Schreiner ProTech was represented also showed how heavily the need for robust, holistic identification solutions is growing. RFID forms the technical foundation for that in many places. Especially where metallic surfaces, glass structures, or ESD-critical zones pose challenges to signal guidance the demand for precision solutions is evident.

In numerous customer conversations, Natalia Biedulski, RFID product manager at Schreiner ProTech, explained the essentials: “To ensure that an RFID system will deliver truly reliable performance, you must respect the environment. That’s why we analyze any use case in every detail—from the material characteristics to the process steps. Only when it’s clear which requirements are effective the outcome will be a label delivering robust and reliable data in daily use.”

Sustainability Reimagines Process Chains
Another notable observation was the intensity in which sustainability was linked to process reliability at LogiMAT. Trade show visitors were particularly interested in how downtimes can be reduced and material cycles controlled efficiently. RFID-based and tamper-protected consumables marking such as the one delivered by the Item Match Control solution show how important consistent data quality has become for resource-conserving processes.

RFID as a Data Anchor
One thing became clear in the conversations: Data are the linking element of automated value chains. By using the Ucode9 chip family, Schreiner ProTech addresses exactly that need. At the same time, it became clear how much optimized antenna geometries and coordinated materials affect reading stability—a detail that makes the difference between smooth or sluggish processes in the field. At the trade show in Stuttgart the clarity with which the industry is setting its course was palpable. RFID is increasingly functioning as a reliable data anchor in a connected industry—wherever future production and logistics systems will be designed in faster, smarter, and more sustainable ways.
