RFID Safety Sensors utilize RFID tags and readers to manage access control, real-time monitoring, and asset tracking. They are integral to systems like Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) and emergency response, ensuring only authorized personnel interact with machinery, thus adhering to safety standards like ISO 13849-1. These sensors provide real-time data for compliance and reporting, supporting maintenance and repair tasks by offering insights into equipment status.

Magnetic Coded Safety Sensors, on the other hand, employ magnetic fields and coded patterns to monitor machinery positions. They consist of an actuator and a sensor, which together ensure precise detection of machinery status. These sensors are crucial in machine guarding, conveyor systems, and material handling, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring safe operation by detecting specific magnetic codes.

Both sensor types are essential in modern industrial environments, reducing risks of accidents and enhancing operational efficiency through their unique detection and monitoring capabilities.
