The RFU65x RFID from SICK is a measuring RFID device with integrated passage and direction detection, which enables a consistently transparent material flow. It detects tags at long range, recording the direction in which objects are moving at the same time. The associated user data can be sent directly to an ERP or MES system — reducing processing times and increasing production efficiency.
Conventional RFID devices record RFID tags over long distances depending on sender power, aperture angle, tag properties and application environment. Until now, directions of movement could only be derived by using additional, external antennas and intelligent algorithms. With the technology supported by the RFU65x, both position and angle can be determined and direction of movement can be detected. Even tags which are moving in opposite directions at the same time can be detected and their directions of movement recorded.
The operating range of the RFID covers an angle of ±45° with a typical sensing range of up to 5 m. RFID tags are recorded below a certain measuring angle in relation to the zero point of the reader. Algorithms can be used to derive instances of passage — including the direction of movement — from the various measuring points.
The product family provides system integrators with the ability to install additional application software directly within variants of the RFU6xx. The user can develop and manage device-specific application software through the SICK development environment and transfer this to other devices.
