Die Geheimwaffe gegen Kabel- und Technikverlust

The secret weapon against cable and technology loss: connection cables from Sommer cable are now RFID-ready with integrated transponders from relyos (article suffix ‘S’, see https://www.sommercable.com/en-gb/customize-your-cable)

How do you count your cables in the spaghetti?

Time-saving control and overview: RFID-ready connection cables. Always keep track of your event technology! Sommer cable’s partner company relyos offers an innovative solution to increase efficiency in goods and inventory management.

The relyos hand-held scanner or the relyos GATE counts every incoming or outgoing product in your logistics. Our connection cables are now available premade with a built-in RFID transponder (article suffix “S”) and can be tracked using the relyos system.

Unexplained cable and equipment shrinkage is now a thing of the past – always keep track of your flow of goods. For more information, visit relyos.com and sommercable.com.

This is how it works:

The new connection cables are equipped with durable RFID transponders that are attached at the cable end. For XLR cables, for example, these are attached to the side of the male plug to ensure that the transponders do not interfere with installations and normal stage applications. The transponder is firmly and securely fixed by a shrink tube that is covered with the relyos logo. With a lifespan of about 30 million read operations, these chips are ideally suited for heavy use in everyday event applications.

Why UHF tags?

Compared to NFC tags, UHF tags have a significantly greater range and constant transmission power. They can be scanned quickly and efficiently – either with a hand-held scanner or the specially developed scan GATE from relyos, which is unbeatable in terms of reliability and speed.

Maximum flexibility thanks to easy system integration:

The relyos system is fully compatible with leading rental software such as EasyJob and Rentman. In addition, an API interface enables seamless connection to an existing ERP system.

Simple to order:

Simply add the article suffix “S” to the article number in your order – for example for the AES/EBU cable – BINARY 234 AES/EBU MKII – ZB2CFS0100-SW0SW.
