RFID smartLabels: Unique, invisible component identification in vehicle manufacturing
Invisible, unique, traceable
Complete documentation and traceability of components is a basic requirement in the automotive industry. This is exactly where herpa print 's smartLabels / RFID labels come in: they enable invisible marking of components, are recorded without contact and without visual contact, and are uniquely linked to the vehicle ID in the manufacturing system. This speeds up processes even with a high variety of variants and creates process reliability along the entire value chain.
The challenge: variety of variants & concealed installation locations
Without clear labeling and automatic identification wherever possible, production comes to a standstill. Particularly critical are components that are mounted behind trim parts or interior components on which no visible label can be placed.
The solution: smartLabels / RFID for invisible labeling
RFID labels from herpa print are recorded fully automatically throughout the production process – without visual contact. The identification data is linked to the vehicle ID, creating consistent documentation and traceability of the installed components – from the line to downstream processes.
Typical applications in vehicles
Airbags, seat belt systems, control units: reliably identifiable, even when installed behind trim or in the dashboard – without dismantling.
Seats, trim parts, instruments with refined surfaces: transponders are integrated invisibly, leaving the design untouched.
Implementation "from a single source"
herpa print specifies RFID labels (HF/UHF) for specific applications, coordinates the hardware with the customer, and optimizes positioning and integration on the component – for reliable detection quality in the respective environment.
Added value beyond the application
herpa print's expertise in labeling solutions supports the digitalization of production and intralogistics processes; the company contributes decades of know-how in the automotive and other industries.
Invisibly installed, clearly identifiable – herpa print's smartLabels securely link components to the vehicle ID and create the basis for end-to-end traceability with a high degree of variant diversity.
