SIMATIC RF300 is primarily used for non-contact identification of containers, palettes and
workpiece holders in a closed production circuit. The data carriers (transponders) remain in
the production chain and are not supplied with the products. SIMATIC RF300, with its
compact transponder and reader enclosure dimensions, is particularly suitable in confined
spaces.
