October 6, 2011 - Balluff announces BIS U series UHF reader. Because BIS U technology is passive, no expensive battery based tags are required to achieve long detection ranges. With the BIS U, non-contact read/write ranges as high as 6 meters can be achieved. BIS U RFID can not only be used with low cost paper tags, but also industrially hardened long life metal mount container tags and even high temperature tags.
Benefits of Balluff UHF System:
- Enables real-time visibility for logistics and manufacturing
- Unlike bar codes, UHF does not require “line-of-sight”
- No batteries needed for long range transmission and lower cost
Features:
- Operating range up to 6 m
- RS232 Serial or Ethernet TCP/IP interface option
- Can detect and process multiple RFID tags at once
Applications:
- Asset tracking
- Logistics tracking
- Closed loop and supply chain logistics
- Production tracking
Balluff can combine the use its UHF system with other passive RFID technologies, including high frequency ISO15693 systems to provide greater flexibility with the highest reliability. Balluff can also provide the necessary services for site surveys, hardware and even software integration to create a fully integrated, cost effective and reliable manufacturing and logistics solution.
