Conveyor Belts
In collaboration with a conveyor belt manufacturer, RADIO6ENSE developed an innovative industrial solution, stemming from the vision of the Industrial Internet of Things (I-IoT) and consisting in the insertion of wireless and battery-less RFID sensors inside the elastomeric blend of the conveyor belt.
RADIO6ENSE started by characterizing the electromagnetic response of elastomeric blends, which helped later in understanding the most suitable typology, the correct materials and the optimal technique for the sensor insertion into the rubber. Such sensors, when interrogated by an ad-hoc radiosystem, can transmit wirelessly the temperature value as recorded inside the object, hence constantly optimizing the vulcanization process with the help of a user-friendly interface and data analysis tool developed in Dewesoft.
