Automatic Identification
Automatic identification refers to the methods of identifying objects, collecting data about them, and entering that data directly into computer systems (i.e. without human involvement). Technologies typically considered as part of Automatic Identification include Inductive Identification, RFID, and Barcode. It is also referred to as "Auto-ID."

Balluff RFID SystemsBalluff has developed a complete line of easy to use read-only systems that interface directly into a PLC through discrete inputs or an RS-232 interface. These systems offer data reliability and environmental ruggedness not found in barcode systems. Read-only systems are ideal when product data are stored centrally in a control system and referenced by a code contained on RFID tags located on products, parts, or pallets.

Contrinex RFID SystemsRFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is used in numerous automation and logistics domains. It allows objects to be identified by means of electronic labels (transponders or tags). The RFID tags from Contrinex are also Stainless steel so they are very durable in harsh environments.
