SIMATIC RF600 has been specially developed for the requirements of industry. It enables economical and reliable use of RFID in production, materials management and logistics.

• Cost savings and improvement in process quality through application of UHF RFID with maximum reliability in the industrial environment:
  • Application of a uniform RFID system throughout the entire production process and supplier chain as a result of inexpensive transponders and wide ranges (no technology gaps).
  • Maximum availability even in applications with a complex radio environment such as high reader density, strongly reflecting metal environments, dynamic surroundings.
  • Permanent RFID identification of products thanks to disposable transponders matched to the application, e.g. heat-resistant, high degree of protection.
  • Wide transponder portfolio and customized versions for cost-optimized use.
• Flexibility due to compact designs and remote antennas.
• Safe and selective individual acquisition or bulk identification is possible.
• High reading speed: Even fast-moving transponders are reliably detected.
• Simplified engineering, commissioning, diagnostics and maintenance through seamless integration into Totally Integrated Automation (TIA):
  • Integrated bus connection to an automation system, such as SIMATIC, SIMOTION or SINUMERIK via communication modules with PROFIBUS and PROFINET.
  • Direct interfacing to IT systems via Ethernet.
  • Integrated processing logic allows data preprocessing in the reader and saves costs for external PCs, software modules, etc.
  • Simple S7 software integration via ready-to-use function blocks.
  • Extensive diagnostic functions.
• High degree of investment protection thanks to
  • Open standards EPCglobal Class 1 Gen 2 / ISO 18000-6C or ISO 18000-6B.
  • Software compatibility between the RFID systems of Siemens.
  • Standardized communication interfaces.
  • Openness through connection possibilities to various bus systems from different manufacturers and PC environments via communication modules.
• Worldwide service and support.
  • Tried and tested in numerous customer projects.
