RFID antenna reliably recognises tools and production materials
Harting has developed a new RFID antenna which enables the precise recognition of tools or production materials in an industrial environment.
>The new sMR20 RFID antenna provides precisely defined read ranges as low as one metre, which represents an order of magnitude improvement over the currently accepted industry norm. As a result, items in close proximity to one another can be easily recognised and correctly assigned.
>The antenna operates over a wavelength range from 865 MHz to 928 MHz for worldwide use, and offers a degree of protection to IP 67. Its design is insensitive to potential sources of interference, and the antenna can be mounted directly onto a metal surface.
>Typical application scenarios for the sMR20 RFID antenna include the recognition of tools, recognition of manufactured goods on production lines, identification of workpieces in machines, and manufacturing logistics.
