RFID – Rugged, Fast Integrated Delivery
1 min read
Intermec has unveiled the latest version of its vehicle mount RFID reader, the IV7C, a rugged RFID tag reader designed to read RFID tags anywhere within reach of a forklift. The IV7C is said to be the only forklift RFID reader on the market that is both EPCglobal certified compliant and interoperable.
”The IV7C joins a tightly integrated family of newly released Intermec products for forklifts, including the CV30 vehicle mount computer, the Adaptable Load Backrest and Antenna Cells,” says Intermec. “These products further realise the Forklift of the Future system introduced last year with development partner Cascade Corporation. This innovative system delivers an integrated and efficient mobile data collection platform for warehouse and distribution centre applications requiring RFID-tag shelf location, pallet- and case-level reading.”
The system is also described as providing the ruggedness, reliability and improved read rate performance that forklift drivers need to use RFID effectively, and gives management the ability to deploy resources efficiently. Each part of the system, including the redesigned case of the IV7C, was developed and integrated specifically to meet the physical and wireless demands found in mobile, industrial environments.
The IV7C reader is built around a new and powerful RFID radio core. Independent testing lab ODIN technologies rated the radio as best-in-class for, among other things, dense reader mode, read rates and receive sensitivity.
