The new RFU630 UHF RFID system
from Sick is designed to achieve high
levels of performance in challenging
factory environments and overcome
the problems of poor signals caused,
for example, by close proximity to
heavy metal machinery and plant.

The RFU 630 read/writer avoids
signal reflection and distortion in
‘high noise’ conditions and is
therefore suitable for factory,
production or logistics environments.

The system operates with high
accuracy where barcode and other
part marking is masked, covered by
dirt and paint, or not line-of-sight.

“Extensive trials of the RFU630
conducted by Sick with a European
prestige car manufacturer confirmed
metal component identification to
over 99.98% while located in the
paint shop in up to 230°C
conditions,” says Tim Stokes, RFID
specialist for SICK (UK).
