Medical & Healthcare Technology
In an industry where precision and patient safety are top priorities, flawless capture of every step is essential. We support you in linking your medical instruments and devices directly to a reliable digital information layer to eliminate manual sources of error and maximize transparency in your processes.
As your specialized partner for wireless identification and sensor systems, we offer solutions specifically developed for the demanding requirements of the healthcare sector. Our RFID technology enables efficient item management as well as seamless tracking and tracing of surgical instruments and sterilization containers.
In doing so, we rely on hardware that withstands extreme loads such as high pressure and temperatures of up to +140°C. This way, we bring your physical assets and your data infrastructure together to fully document the entire lifecycle as well as all quality parameters of your medical instruments and devices.

Practical application examples
RFID-based identification and sensing set new standards for transparency, safety, and efficiency in medical processes. Miniaturized, robust tags with integrated data storage enable clear identification and digital mapping of instruments, containers, and process parameters. The systems are suitable for metal and non-metal surfaces, withstand high temperatures and pressures, and remain reliably functional across numerous sterilization cycles. At the same time, compatible stationary and mobile readers as well as flexible software solutions enable easy integration into existing IT infrastructures. The following practical examples show how this technology can be used in day-to-day clinical operations.
Accessory identification in everyday clinical practice
Medical accessories such as instruments, endoscopes, or specialized tools are clearly labeled with miniaturized RFID tags. With every use, reprocessing, and transport, identity, usage data, and sterilization cycles are automatically captured and documented. This creates seamless traceability across the entire lifecycle, while manual recording is eliminated and mix-ups, losses, or the use of non-approved components are reliably prevented.
Digital marking of sterilization containers
Sterilization containers can be equipped with robust, passive RFID tags that can be mounted on metal and plastic and provide up to 16 kbit of memory for ID and catalog data. This enables quick installation, permanent marking, and seamless cataloging and process control via dedicated software or existing systems.
Real-time monitoring of critical process parameters
RFID-enabled sensor data loggers monitor temperature, pressure, and humidity continuously or in real time, even in harsh environments and hard-to-reach areas. Freely definable limit values, wireless data transmission (HF, UHF, or Bluetooth Low Energy), and automated analysis ensure maximum process reliability and complete documentation.
Benefits of RFID for the healthcare sector
Always on top.
Our RFID solutions enable precise identification and traceability of accessories, instruments, and sterilization containers even under extreme conditions. Miniaturized, durable tags that can be used on different materials, real-time sensor data, large storage capacities, anti-counterfeiting protection, and easy integration into existing systems deliver maximum process reliability, transparency, and efficiency.
Robustness for extreme conditions
RFID tags are heat-, pressure-, and moisture-resistant and are suitable for repeated sterilization processes up to 136°C. This ensures that functionality, data integrity, and labeling are permanently maintained even under the harshest operating conditions.
Seamless traceability and documentation
Integrated memory and globally unique serial numbers enable reliable capture of lifecycles, usage histories, and process data. This provides complete traceability of accessories, instruments, and containers across all process steps.
Easy integration into existing processes
The systems are compatible with HF, UHF, and NFC readers as well as with custom or existing software. This allows identification, cataloging, and process monitoring to be seamlessly integrated into existing IT and logistics structures.
