Product | SlimLine A6034S |
| The SlimLine A6034S is an ultra-low profile circular polarised flat panel antenna with high gain. Its total thickness is just 12 mm. Two versions are available, one for the (ETSI) 864 MHz – 869 MHz band and one for the US (FCC) 902 MHz – 928 MHz band. It can be used for UHF RFID applications such as airport baggage handling, warehouse inventory control, forklifts or any other applications where circular polarisation and a very thin antenna is required. |

A6034S Datasheet | |
Challenge: An international airport wanted to speed up inwards passenger processing by eliminating queues for bio-security x-ray screening. Existing processes require expensive and dedicated equipment that tie up real estate and can cause long delays exiting airports during peak times.
Solution: A Times-7 SlimLine Portal for Passenger Processing that uses RFID tagged bags. By combining an in-line x-ray with Times-7 SlimLine Portals, RFID tagged bags can be scanned by bio-security officials in advance of passenger retrieval. As passengers move through the arrivals hall, a Times-7 SlimLine Portal can automatically detect bags of interest and prompt bio-security officials to investigate further.
Challenge: Conventional airport baggage tracking systems typically have identification rates of <90% meaning too many bags are manually handled. RFID systems deliver much higher read rates, however the RFID readers stations currently available are large, expensive and complicated to install. They also require expensive shielding, similar in size to x-ray machines in airports.
Solution: 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. The antennas are engineered to use just 10% maximum RF energy output. They optimize read patterns enabling RFID bag labels to be read in any orientation. This eliminates any need for expensive tunnels and curtains.
