With product tracking a major issue,
ifm electronic has introduced the
new UHF RFID system. Using the
865-870 MHz band (there is also a
902-928 MHz variant for the North
American market), the new system
offers flexibility on a standard
platform.

Flexibility is enhanced by the
selection of antennae available. For
the European range there are five.

The more compact ultra-low and
low range will read tags in close
proximity without seeing adjacent
tags, making them the most selective.

A mid-range antenna will pick up
data from a tag up to 2m away, while
the long range options can even read
a tag at 7m.
