SIMATIC RF 300 is an inductive identification system specially designed for use in industrial
production for the control and optimization of material flow. Thanks to its compact
components it is particularly suited to small assembly lines and conveyor systems with
restricted space for installation. The rugged components feature an attractive
price/performance ratio.

RF 300 application areas

SIMATIC RF 300 is used primarily for contactless identification of containers, pallets and
workpiece carriers in a closed production loop, i.e. the data carriers (transponders) remain in
the production chain and are not shipped out with the products. Thanks to the compact
enclosure dimensions of both the transponders and readers, SIMATIC RF 300 is particularly
suitable for (small) assembly lines where space is at a premium.
The main application areas of SIMATIC RF 300 are:
• Assembly and handling systems, assembly lines (identification of workpiece carriers)
• Production logistics (material flow control, identification of containers and other vessels)
• Parts identification (e.g. transponder is attached to product/pallet).
• Conveyor systems
