● Acquisition level
This level contains the RFID readers that read the appropriate transponder data and
transfer it to the next higher level.
● Control level
At the control level, the RFID data is collected, preprocessed and made available to the
production control and business administration control levels for further processing.
● IT level
The Manufacturing Execution System (MES) closes the gap between the data that arises
in the automation environment (control level) and the logistic and commercial processes
of the company (business administration control). MES solutions are used, for example,
for defining and performing production processes.
3.1 Application areas of RF600
RFID (radio frequency identification) permits continuous identification, tracking and
documentation of all delivered, stocked and shipped goods in the incoming goods,
warehouse, production, production logistics and distribution departments. A small data
medium - referred to as SmartLabel, transponder or tag - is attached to every item, package
or pallet, and contains all important information. The data medium receives the power it
requires via an antenna which is also used for data transmission.
