Digital Nameplates

Your ticket to Industry 4.0: The "physical" digital nameplate from Sommer. All product and manufacturer information is centralised here.

Digital twin Standards Product ID Product passport

When products are used in harsh environments, identification must be fast, robust and reliable – ideally without additional attachments or separate labels.

With an RFID tag integrated into the membrane keyboard, you can combine the user interface and unique assignment in a stable assembly.

This creates a defined, protected "touchpoint" for service, logistics and lifecycle processes – and, incidentally, a clean basis for future digital information requirements relating to components such as batteries.

System security from Sommer

  • A central point of contact for all components of your HMI solution
  • Perfect system integration thanks to optimally harmonised modules
  • Complete product and function testing for high reliability
  • PCAP touch solutions with touch IC precisely matched to the area of application
  • Extensive experience in numerous industries

Integrated technology

An integrated RFID solution reduces complexity because it does not need to be treated as a separate component.

The RFID tag is structurally integrated into the membrane keyboard in such a way that its functionality, sealing design and mechanical durability work in harmony – tailored to your device, your environment and your manufacturing process.

Use case: Battery level indicator with RFID

Particularly with battery-powered devices, the control or display unit is a natural point of contact for users and service personnel. If the RFID tag is integrated into the battery level indicator (or a nearby HMI panel), it can be read exactly where the user is already looking and operating the device.

This allows, for example, devices, battery packs or assemblies to be clearly identified and service procedures to be simplified – without the need to search for, protect or additionally mount separate tags.

Quality that works in series production

Our HMI solutions are designed to meet industrial requirements:

Materials, design concepts and manufacturing processes are selected to ensure reproducible results – from prototypes to pre-production and series production. We consider not only the individual component, but the entire process chain: mechanical integration, interfaces, assembly concept and testing strategy.

Special solutions included

Standard is good – as long as it fits. If installation space, substrate, sealing concept, EMC requirements or operating logic set special conditions, we will work with you to develop a special solution that functions technically flawlessly and runs stably in your production.

The goal is always an RFID-integrated membrane keyboard that feels like a standard component – not like an afterthought.
