• In contrast to bar codes, the transponders can also be written to
• Different types of transponders can be processed using one and the same reader
Features of the scenario
In this example scenario, containers of varying sizes are conveyed on a conveyor system. Only
the unique identification number (8 bytes) is read. The containers to be picked are sorted to the
corresponding workstations. The maximum transport speed is 1.0 m/s.
In this scenario, it is an advantage that the RF380R reader can read and write the transponders at
different distances on the containers without a great deal of mechanical or control system
effort due to the reading range.
During the picking process, the goods are immediately placed in different containers or packed
in cartons depending on the destination (small packaging or large packaging station). The
containers are equipped with the MDS D100 ISO transponder. The low-cost "one-way tag" (label)
is used on the cartons: it is simply glued onto the carton. Thus the goods can be identified at any
time. Again, one and the same reader hardware is used for this. The maximum transport speed
is 0.8 m/s.
In addition, flexible identification is possible at each location and at any time using the mobile
SIMATIC RF350M reader.
