UHF transponder identification using a compact RFID read/write device for short sensing ranges
The RFU61x is the smallest read/write device in the UHF portfolio from SICK. It is perfectly suited for IoT applications directly on the workpiece or component. The RFU61x therefore rounds out the UHF product portfolio from SICK by enabling continuous identification along the entire value chain. The interfaces of the RFU61x enable direct connection of a trigger sensor, whereby the RFU61x can be used as a remote, self-supporting unit. Thanks to the integrated process logic, data can be processed directly in the RFU61x and passed onto the controller or IT systems. Like the other Ethernet-based RFU devices, the RFU61x can also be programmed according to individual requirements using the SICK AppSpace eco-system.
