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.

An RTLS Ready For All Challenges

K-RTLS from Kathrein Solutions presents innovative features! Kathrein Solutions has developed an RTLS with high performance and numerous features for partners and customers. The RTLS, consisting of three components, enables users to achieve unprecedented transparency of business processes. Martin Dobler and Patrick Hartmann from Kathrein Solutions explain to RFID & Wireless IoT Global how users benefit from granular object information. “If customers want to use new infrastructures such as LPWAN or 5G in their applications, this implementation is possible. Our long-term vision is to be able to offer a transponder that can cover all use cases in this environment.”

Taking Digitisation to the Next Level

Digitisation progresses at a fast pace By broadening their wireless IoT portfolio, Kathrein Solutions wants to build on previous successes as a partner for digitisation projects and sustainably establish business and solutions in new markets and sectors. Not a day passes without multiple newspaper headlines focusing on digitisation projects. This internationally-visible market development matches exactly with the new orientation of Kathrein’s RFID branch that was initiated more than two years ago. With the acquisition of noFilis, Kathrein Solutions created an IoT solution provider that can realise single-source digitisation projects. RFID & Wireless IoT Global talked to the management about targets and benefits in the field of IoT. Jürgen Walter, Head of Solutions and COO of the Kathrein Group, wants to build on previous successes as well as to create and sustainably establish business in new markets and fields. Thomas Brunner, Managing Director of Kathrein Solutions, underpins these goals by focusing on the development and integration of IoT solutions for global vertical markets. At the centre of attention are solutions for vehicle identification and healthcare applications. The CrossTalk IoT software adds to the hardware portfolio. In the interview, Martin Dobler, CTO of Kathrein Solutions, illustrates why flexibility and scalability of modular platforms are the key to future-proof digitisation applications.

IoT Needs Connectivity

Kathrein starts with the next generation of RFID systems! The requirements for modern identification systems are increasingly defined by ERP architectures. Compared to a large percentage of RFID systems which are equipped either with a serial or a proprietary port, today only a few percent are equipped with a slow and non-network-ready protocol. The reason lies in a constant need for optimisation and efficiency gains in a production and logistics environment. By Thomas Brunner, Head of Business Line IoT Solutions, KATHREIN Group

Kathrein Presents New ARU 8500 RFID Antenna Reader at #WIOTtomorrow19

Optimal Shipping Control by Means of Precise RFID Direction Recognition At the RFID & Wireless IoT tomorrow 2019, Kathrein Solutions presents a new product, ARU 8500 reader from the ARU reader family. The more complex the logistics processes become, the higher the demands for reliable and high-performance reading devices. The new ARU 8500 reader with an integrated circular switch-beam antenna enables precise detection of goods and their direction of movement. Ubiquity means the ability to be present everywhere. However, it is also a requirement for industrial production or logistics processes that shipped goods or commodities are tracked at all times. The transitions between the production areas or individual parts in the supply chain are of central importance. The device is characterised by a greater processing capacity and, therefore, a fast reading process as well as increased reading accuracy, even under difficult conditions.

Nationwide Vehicle Identification at the Foot of the Pyramids

Case study from Kathrein Solutions! Background Egypt has around 100 million inhabitants, 20 million of which live in Cairo. There are about 20 million cars in the country, and there are more and more every single day. Many of these cars are very old and sometimes not registered. Unfortunately, the number of accidents per year is very high. Hence, there are many reasons to invest into a new, innovative and comprehensive solution for vehicle identification.

Railway Tracking & Monitoring

Case Study by Kathrein Solutions Challenge Railway operators need to guarantee the availability of their railway networks as they are widely used these days. Even minor incidents can lead to major disruptions in the dense and complicated timetable of the transport system. One way to avoid incidents and accidents is to use security checkpoints, where various parameters are measured, such as profile clearance, wheel loads, heat, fire or chemical leakage. The challenge was to identify alarming measurements as accurately as possible down to an axle/wheel of a certain rail car body, in order to perform the actions as efficiently as possible.
