RFID electronics
design for a small number of items
When it comes to small series, production techniques that require a large amount of investment usually cannot be used. This handheld antenna for FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH is an example of a design that was used to produce a small number of items.

The product was developed to capture RFID tags in a very specific area of application. The construction and design of the device makes it possible to access more areas of application with simple modifications. The plain and slightly rounded design conveys a technical and precise impression, looks easy on the eye and useful at the same time.
handling
With the long and plain handle, the light device lies excellently in the hand. Flexible positioning and easy switching between hands are decisive for use. The handle profile and the grooves that run in a horizontal direction make a precise adjustment of the antenna bracket easier.
full service
For this product I supported the complete development up to series production using injection moulding tools. After establishing 3D CAD data, the construction was tested with sintered prototypes. Subsequently, a small series of vacuum castings for live testing were produced in collaboration with one of my reliable service partners.

prototypes of case parts
To produce the series tools, I could also recommend the right partner for my customer. For the relatively small number of handheld antennas not only the cost but also the time factor for implementing the injection moulding tools was decisive.
