System integrators of RFID solutions develop customer specific software to transfer RFID data from physical measurement to higher-level systems. The application of connecting PLC through traditional fieldbus protocol is not common in this field.
In the field of logistics, integrators need an open platform to develop and operate their own software solutions. Application cases are very important in this field: RFID data must be filtered and then transmitted to ERP or other systems, where it can be used for various tasks:
■ after delivery, it can be automatically detected and registered for warehousing
■ the goods can be detected again after being sent out, and it can automatically verify whether anything is lost during the sending process
As part of the logistics process, these solutions for identifying goods and items usually need to control multiple antennas at one reading point. One standard application is to detect goods through doors. These applications allow multiple passive antennas to use only one electronic system (multiplexing), so that items passing through the reading station can be detected quickly, high performance and reliably. Using multiple antennas expands the reading area, allowing multiple tags to be read from multiple directions.
Key features and benefits
Linux based Middleware functions can be integrated on tn-uhf-q300-chn-lnx. Therefore, q300 can completely replace the functions of expensive industrial computers in applications, such as filtering and processing data.
The degree of freedom in communication protocol and software programming means that applications can be accurately adjusted according to customers’ needs, and provide customers with a high degree of flexibility in data processing.
In addition, data can be transferred to higher-level MES or ERP systems. Our internal system integrator Turck vilant systems also uses the Linux version of tn-uhf-q300 to run its personal Turck vilant engine. Therefore, the q300 read-write head can replace the UHF read-write head of the integrated Linux platform previously used.
