ARU 8500 RFID Antenna Reader

ARU 8500 RFID Antenna Reader

Shipping Control by means of precise RFID direction recognition

The new ARU 8500 UHF RFID reader enables a reliable detection of goods and the direction of movement. The antenna beam can be swivelled in three areas to track the direction of movement in a gantry or when the goods pass through a gate.

The reader is able to distinguish the transported goods that pass through all three zones from the unmoved goods that are only detectable in one zone. Thus, it is possible to reliably identify the flow of goods and control and optimise production or logistics processes.

The ARU 8500 reader expands the well-known ARU 3000 reader family and can be easily integrated into existing IT and ERP systems using the CrossTalk AutoID software suite.

Reader and Antenna Development at Kathrein Solutions

An Interview with Michael Kaiser Which technological developments are currently being focused on at Kathrein Solutions? Which solutions are being implemented and what does the customer feedback look like? What direct influence does the commissioning of the new antenna measurement chamber in Stephanskirchen in 2019 have on product and solution developments? The highlight of the current development: The upcoming re-design of the WiRa 30° Antenna in a new design and with highly optimized features. In addition, new RTLS algorithms are currently being worked on. The focus here is on exact real-time capture of up to 30 centimeters in area and on switching to heatmap mode. The challenge: To set up the system in such a way that exact capture takes place in one area while the RTLS transponder seamlessly switches to heatmap mode in another area! The solution should be available and ready for series production from 2021. Michael Kaiser, Director Product Management & Innovations, Kathrein Solutions in an interview with RFID & Wireless IoT Global.

UHF RFID by Kathrein Solutions: The Benchmark in Laundry Management

100 % transparent processes for clear cost structures, hygienic laundry provision and maximum employee satisfaction High-End Measuring Chamber for Precise Antenna Tests In autumn 2019, Kathrein Solutions installed a high-end measuring chamber at the Stephanskirchen site. Antenna systems are measured in the frequency range from 600 MHz to 8.5 GHz. The chamber measures all IoT radio standards such as RFID, LoRa, Wi-Fi and UWB RTLS, starting in the lower band of 400 MHz up to the ultra-wide band of 6 GHz. In-House Measuring Capacity Underlines Technological Innovation With the measuring chamber, comprehensive analyses necessary for development can be realized in the shortest time possible. Antennas with Kathrein KRAI functionality can be measured and evaluated automatically. Additionally, 3D measurements of UHF RFID transponders on load carriers, fenders and windshields are possible.
