SIMATIC RF600 is used for the contactless identification of every kind of object, e.g. transport containers, pallets, production goods, or it can be used generally for recording goods in bulk. As a rule, these applications are open loops in which passive SmartLabels on goods, products, bulk containers or transport units are used. In this case, the system distinguishes itself due to its high reading speeds, large data transmission rates and the fact that it can handle long reading distances.

In addition, the system is suitable for reading and writing reusable transponders that are used in closed loops.

Typical applications include:

• Acquisition of deliveries in the incoming goods / outgoing goods departments.
• Identification of transport containers, barrels or containers at important stations in the process; creation of a "Container passport" for automatic creation of a usage history.
• Control of material flow and production in multi-variant, order-related production.
• Labeling of products under severe ambient conditions, e.g. dust, dirt, high temperatures.
• Stock monitoring and usage monitoring of tools and devices.
• Automation of warehouses and distribution centers with industrial trucks.
