Textiles for flooring with integrated RFID-tags for navigation and logistic applications. RFID-tags (radio frequency identification) serve as invisible landmarks to support the navigation of robotic vehicles or the localization of movable objects as long as they are equipped with a scanner and wireless data communication. The passive RFID-tags receive their energy from the electromagnetic field of the scanner and therefore do not need their own power source. Information that was sent from the scanner can be saved in the RFID-tag, e.g. for logistic purposes. The RFID-tags consist of 33% PET, 66% polyamide, aluminum as well as a silicon chip. The manufacturer currently offers an optional impact sound insulation and a fiber glass reinforcement material in which the RFID-tags are integrated. The impact sound insulation, based on polyester non-woven, is suitable to be used under laminates and carpeting and the fiber glass reinforcement material is suitable to be used under any type of flooring and can also be embedded in poured flooring like resin or tile screed. However, the material cannot be used under metallic or highly conductive flooring. The materials are offered on 39.4 in (100 cm) wide rolls with a length of 1969 in (50 m) with four RFID-tags/m². The impact sound insulation is EN ISO 9239-1:2002 (according to the radiant panel test) certified and is suited for castor chairs (according to EN 985:2001) under tufting flooring. Embedded in resin, the glass fiber reinforcement with tags passes the pressure test DIN EN 12390-3 with up to 45 MPa (45 N/mm²). In comparison to separately installed tags, these tags that incorporated in the rolled flooring, have the advantage of a significantly easier installation, because they are in a regular grid pattern as soon as the carpet is rolled out and because the manufacturer includes a finished mapping in electronic form. Applications are for the navigation of robots, the logistics and locating of goods and products, as guidance system in e.g. stores as well as collecting of information of the course of movement of customers with shopping carts.
