Challenge: A railway company was replacing their 15 year old active RFID wagon tracking system with a modern UHF Gen2 based solution. The environment is particularly harsh where tags are exposed 24x7 to climate extremes from well below freezing to hot desert conditions. With the decision made to use passive tags instead of active, the challenge was to fi nd the best performing and hard wearing passive tags available in the market.
Solution: A Times-7 on-metal tag which outperformed the read distance of competitive sized products by 100%. Designed to balance performance, durability and affordability, the Times-7 tag is long lasting and delivers a compelling alternative to more expensive active tags.
Current bar code-based airport baggage tracking systems offer typical identification rates of <90%, meaning too many bags are manually handled. A Times-7 SlimLine Reader Station combines leading RFID readers with Times-7's SlimLine antenna to produce a small, compact unit which is quick and easy to install, and provides read rates of 99.9% at one quarter the price of competitive offerings.
