Method and device for producing a rubber component

A method for producing a rubber component having at least one electronic assembly embedded between a lower and an upper ply of a rubber material, the method comprising the steps:

• a) providing a length portion of the lower ply of the rubber material, which is equipped, on the top side with at least one electronic assembly;
• b) stationarily positioning the length portion of the lower ply using equipment;
• c) unrolling a length portion of the upper ply of the rubber material on the top side of the stationarily positioned length portion of the lower ply in an unrolling direction (A) using an unrolling device, and using the unrolling device to fixedly adhesively connect the length portions of the upper and lower plies of the rubber material so as to embed the at least one electronic assembly therebetween and thereby forming a length portion of the rubber component;
• d) coupling the unrolling device to the equipment and/or to the length portion of the rubber component, and while coupled, moving the unrolling device counter to the unrolling direction, thereby conveying out the length portion of the rubber component and feeding a subsequent length portion of the lower ply.
