Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems for contactless identification and localization of products as well as for automatic recording and storage of data have already been tried and tested in numerous manners for automation technology. Such systems use mobile data carriers (transponders/tags) to identify products, and readers to monitor the data in the transponders.

Using the SIMATIC RF RFID systems from Siemens it is possible to perfectly control and optimize the material flow and the complete logistics sequence. The systems are also highly suitable for container management and asset management.

Note:

The SIMATIC RF identification systems can be used together with SIMATIC PCS 7 V7.1, V8.0, V8.1 and V8.2.
