Scenario incoming goods, distribution of goods and outgoing goods
The scenario consists of an RFID system with three readers. The SIMATIC RF650R reader
with its four antennas identifies the incoming/outgoing products at the incoming/outgoing
goods gates of a factory building hall through which pallets are delivered. Each pallet is fitted
with a transponder. The transponders contain user data that provides information about the
sender and receiver of the goods. This data is read out and passed on. The goods supplied
on the pallets are processed in the factory and then exit the factory through the outgoing
goods gate.

Scenario: Incoming goods, distribution of goods and outgoing goods
Features of the scenario
In this example scenario, the SIMATIC RF685R reader is controlled by a light barrier and
monitors a conveyor belt; the conveyor belt transports the goods towards two output gates
that are assigned to different recipients. Each item has a transponder that is always fitted at
the same position and with the same alignment on the item. These transponders also
contain user data that provides information about the sender and receiver of the goods.
There is a separator at the end of the conveyor belt that determines the output gate to which
the goods should be directed. The separator is set according to the results from the reader
and the goods are distributed.
