How RFID continues to evolve in industrial applications

Aug. 5, 2024
A Control Intelligence podcast with Michael McCabe, product manager, factory automation systems, Pepperl+Fuchs

In this episode of Control Intelligence, Pepperl+Fuchs’ Michael McCabe explains standardized tags, data transfer rates, capabilities, security and integration.

Michael McCabe is product manager, factory automation systems, at Pepperl+Fuchs, where he's worked since 2019.


In 1945, Walter Pepperl and Ludwig Fuchs founded a small radio workshop in Mannheim, Germany, based on the principles of inventiveness, entrepreneurial foresight and self-reliance. The experience they acquired was transformed into new ideas, and they developed products for customers. The eventual result was the invention of the proximity switch, the starting point of the company's success story. Pepperl+Fuchs now is known for a variety of electrical explosion protection and sensor technology, including radio-frequency identification, or RFID, which is the topic of this discussion.
