Capacitive Sensors
Reliably detect objects and fill levels. Capacitive sensors detect objects and the fill level
of non-conducting materials, liquids, pellets, and powders—either directly or through container walls.
The patented Smart Level technology compensates for moisture, foam, and adhesion of all kinds—even
through glass and plastic walls up to 10 mm thick. This makes them ideal for fill-level measurement
of conductive media and ensures high application reliability.
Our sensors are available in various compact designs. As adhesive sensors, they adapt flexibly to
different housing shapes and can be easily removed when needed.

RFID
Traceability through RFID systems for industry.
Our BIS RFID identification solutions provide the key technology needed to meet the essential
requirements of modern manufacturing. With RFID, products and components can be uniquely
assigned and traced at any time, ensuring complete transparency in all production steps.
To achieve unique identification and instant traceability, a data carrier (RFID transponder)
is attached to the object. Data is exchanged between the transponder and the read/write head
and transferred to the controller via the evaluation unit or an IO-Link module.
Our RFID solutions support nearly all common controllers and evaluation units for every
frequency range. The core strength of RFID lies in the contactless exchange of information
between the transponder and the reader—enabling modern, smart, efficient production.
