Industrial traceability: RFID, real-time tracking and production compliance

Why track and trace?

Meet regulatory requirements (CE 852/2004, ISO 22000, IFS, BRC)
Ensure continuous quality and control risks
Limit losses and smooth internal flows
Prevent or manage product recalls effectively

An overview of available technologies

Technology	Principle	Limits
Bar code / Datamatrix	Visual reading of a print	Requires eye contact, unit reading
Inductive / optical sensors	Passage or presence detection	No precise identification, non-historical
Industrial vision	Image analysis, format or defect detection	Complex learning, lighting-sensitive
RFID	Contactless reading of a passive tag	Requires infrastructure, antenna calibration

Industrial RFID, a robust solution for automation

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is today the most suitable technology for tracking products in demanding industrial environments. SEMSO offers complete RFID solutions integrated with its mechatronic lines.

Unit identification of each bin, rack or product
Multiple and simultaneous contactless reading
Dynamic recording of information (batch, stage, temperature, etc.)
Direct communication with PLCs, MES or ERP

See our solution as manufacturer of RFID tracking machines.

Architecture of an RFID system at SEMSO

Component	Function	Specificity
RFID tag	Stores product or container identifier	Without battery, stainless steel or food-grade plastic
Antenna	Reads/writes tags as they pass	Line integration, IP65, fine calibration
Controller	Centralizes reading data	Integrated into SEMSO electrical cabinet
Automate	Makes automated decisions	Avoid errors, manage dynamic flows

"Good traceability doesn't slow down production, it speeds it up by securing every step."

Industrial examples of RFID usage

Tracking of ripening racks (presence, washing, passage history)
Traceability of multi-product bins in cutting plants
Automated control of manufacturing cycles (time, temperature, batches)
Automated sorting and distribution according to recorded content

In a tense and regulated industrial context, traceability can no longer be manual. Thanks to the native integration of RFID technologies into its equipment, SEMSO offers truly intelligent machines, capable of tracing, deciding, alerting and interacting with your digital production tools.
