Poor signals overcome
04 March 2013
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 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).
