Glossary
Transponder
An invented word from transmitter and responder. Transponders are used on the product,
the product carrier, the object, or its transport or packaging unit, and contain production and
manufacturing data, i.e. all application-specific data. They follow the product through
assembly lines, transfer and production lines and are used to control material flow.
Because of their wireless design, transponders can be used, if necessary, at individual work
locations or manufacturing stations, where their data can be read and updated.
