From automated production, through IT, up to shipping, all of the advantages of RFID technology can be enjoyed when using stationary SIMATIC RF600 UHF readers. They sense tags with absolute reliability. The especially compact SIMATIC RF615R reader has an integrated antenna and an external antenna connection. The LED strip running along the edge can be easily seen from every side. This cost-efficient reader was developed to supplement the portfolio and to address applications where reader dimensions and low reading ranges of up to a meter are specified.
