RFU630 – the new intelligent UHF-RFID system for factory and logistics automationThe new RFU630 is an industry-oriented compact device with an integrated antenna and, if required, up to three external antennae can be connected. Its properties make the device ideal for solving tasks in factory automation (e.g. the identification or distribution of car body parts) and logistics automation (e.g. pallet identification or yard logistics). Several passive transponders can be detected simultaneously in a group thanks to multi-ident and anti-collision features. Whereby all data carriers that comply with the EPCglobal and ISO 18000-6 standards are reliably detected. The RFU630 is currently available in two variants – for use in Europe and the USA. > More
