The advantages of RFID in the production / logistics domain can be fully leveraged using the fixed UHF read / write devices belonging to the SIMATIC RF600R family. RFID tags are reliably identified, whether individually, in bulk, stationary or moving. Integrated display elements facilitate diagnostics in operation. Numerous interfaces as well as data preprocessing in the reader mean that the devices can be simply integrated into existing automation landscapes. The devices have integrated multiple read points, which significantly improve the cost position per read point – making production more efficient and improving product quality.
