RFID (radio frequency identification) permits interruption-free tracking and documentation of
all delivered, stocked and shipped goods in the incoming goods, warehouse, production
logistics and distribution departments. A small data medium - referred to as SmartLabel or
tag - is adhered to every item, package or palette, and contains all important information.
The data medium receives the power it requires via an antenna which is also used for data
transmission.
Equipped with a rugged casing to the high IP 65 degree of protection and suitable for use
over a wide range of temperatures, the reader is also a match for the demands of harsh
industrial conditions in, for example, warehouses or on loading ramps.
