Scenario incoming goods, distribution of goods and outgoing goods

The scenario comprises an RFID system with three readers. The SIMATIC RF670R reader
with its four antennas monitors the incoming goods gate of a factory building hall through
which pallets are delivered. Each pallet is fitted with a tag. The tags contain user data that
provides information about the sender and receiver of the goods. This data is read out and
passed on. The goods supplied on the pallets are processed in the factory and then exit the
factory through the outgoing goods gate.
in this example, the SIMATIC RF640R reader is controlled by a light barrier and monitors a
conveyor belt; the conveyor belt transports the goods towards two output gates that are
assigned to different recipients. Each item has a tag that is always fitted at the same position
and with the same alignment on the item. These tags also contain user data that provides
information about the sender and receiver of the goods. There is a separator at the end of
the conveyor belt that determines the output gate to which the goods should be directed. The
separator is set according to the results from the reader and the goods are distributed.
