This enables the MAGICSTRAP to already be integrated as an RFID component in series PCB production. To do so, a slot is cut in the PCB into which the RFID chip is embedded at the edge of the board. The MAM, as the machine is commonly known, automatically embeds RFID chips in the FR4 PCB material. The centerpiece of the method for which a patent has been filed is the Magic Application Machine - the name is derived from MAGIC-PCB - developed by Beta LAYOUT with the aid of subsidies from the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. The new development can be seen for the first time at productronica. Murata supplies the MAGICSTRAP RFID module while Beta LAYOUT has succeeded in industrializing the embedding method with an application machine. Something like a PCB with an embedded UHF RFID tag represents the ideal data medium. Industry 4.0 does not work without smart objects. Industry 4.0 PCBs with a memoryĪ method for embedding RFID tags in PCBs is ready for series production High volume production is also possible under license using a specially developed application machine. This technology is available for prototype PCBs and small volumes using the PCB-POOL® service.

Typical fields of application are process control, product security and recycling. Each RFiD module has a unique identifying code and a user memory.

RFiD simplifies identification by eliminating the need for barcodes and line of sight creating a systematic and thus more efficient solution. Magic-PCB® is an identification solution for the electronic industry.īy embedding an RFID module into the Printed Circuit Board, every PCB is identifiable from the cradle to the grave. As they have recently obtained the Certificate of Compliance from the Underwriters Laboratory they now meet the requirements of the industry. In a continuing process Beta has evaluated this technology according the US safety standards for Electronic products. Two years ago Beta LAYOUTs Embedded RFID technology, named Magic-PCB®, was patented in the USA.
