Industrial UHF RFID read/write device

Published:  03 September, 2019

SICK reports it has launched the smallest industrial UHF RFID read/write device of its kind, the RFU610, creating new opportunities to integrate RFID track and trace capability in automated machines and mobile vehicles across production, materials handling, and logistics environments.

Almost half the size of SICK’s next-level, mid-range RFU620 reader, the RFU610 needs an installation space of just 80 x 92 x 38 mm and achieves an impressive scanning range of ≤ 0.5metres.

The SICK RFU610 is said to be ideal for short-range auto-ident applications such as tracking of smaller parts, sub-assemblies and electronic components, materials handling in e-Kanban processes, automating validation of correct tool set-up on industrial machines, as well as monitoring consignment transfers onto smaller automated guided vehicles and carts.
