December 20, 2012 – HARTING introduces sensor-equipped passive UHF RFID systems. UHF RFID technology is ideal for the transportation, logistics, automation, machinery and energy markets.
This technology stands up to harsh environmental conditions and reliably registers rapidly moving objects with metal surfaces, such as railway cars. A read range of 5 cm - 12 m ensures maximum flexibility for tracking and other such applications.
Endowing passive transponders with sensors can enable goods to register ambient conditions such as temperature.
