RF System SIMATIC RF600

SIMATIC RF600 is an identification system that operates in the UHF range. UHF technology
supports large write/read distances with passive tags.
The SIMATIC RF670R reader and RF660R reader (write/read devices), fitted for example on
the gate of a warehouse, automatically record every movement of goods, and signal these to
the host systems. The data are filtered and compressed there by data management software
at the control level in order, for example, to generate the receiving department transaction for
the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system at the business administration control level.
At the same time, the delivery can be automatically checked for correctness and completeness
prior to storage by means of the electronic delivery list.
The general automation and IT structure of a company is shown in the following figure. This
comprises several different levels that are described in detail below.
