With product tracking a major issue
for manufacturers, logicisticians and
retailers, 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) this new system offers
flexibility on a standard platform.

Flexibility is futher enhanced by
the selection of antennae on offer
from ifm electronic; for the
European range there are five
different antennae. 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.
