Page 3:Benefits of RFID• Production efficiency… detailed tracking available of who, when, where and what was done to build products• Preprogrammed batches… tags identify which recipe to load automatically, reducing errors• Data storage…tags can retain data that can be modified by the control system• Great in harsh environments…unlike bar codes, tags can handle rugged environments• Tags are reusable… write over them and alter information (data retention for 10 years and 100,000 write cycles)• Faster processing of products…read/write up to 4 tags within transceiver field• Tag does not need to be seen… can be read inside cases, boxes, or other containers• Schedule tool maintenance during downtime•Total tool usage count stored on tool RFID tagManufacturing Application – Each tool, person, and machine has an RFID tag for validation and usage count.• Inventory control by tagging each tool•Validate user checking out tool•Validate tool with machine• Read/write tool usage countAPPLICATIONSTags identify door color, typeand storage location.Track product throughproduction process.Tags embedded in the floorto guide unmanned vehiclethrough building.Track drugs via tray throughprocess for traceability, accuracyand warranty.Learn more...Watch this and other application videos at: ab.com/sensors-switches/rfidAutomotive Packaging AGV PharmaceuticalIndustrial Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are a ruggedand reliable way to track and document products as they move throughthe manufacturing process. Unlike the bar code systems used for similar,less demanding applications, industrial RFID systems are designed towithstand harsh environments. Plus, reusable read/write tags allow forflexibility in information and application. ISO 15693 ICODE is an openstandard for high-frequency 13.56 MHz RFID. ICODETags are lower costand available from multiple manufacturers in many different styles,physical sizes and memory sizes to fit most applications.

Page 5:High Frequency RFID products are typically used in industrial applications to follow a product through the manufacturing process.The transceiver to tag range is typically less than 8 inches (200 mm). ICODE technology is advantageous because the tags are availablefrom numerous suppliers in an infinite number of physical packages.An application can track the process via the tag either by storing the data directly on the tag or linking the UID (unique identifier) todata in a server. In high-speed applications (> 1.5m/s), it is recommended to read only the UID into the PLC. If the tags are used onmultiple machines that do not communicate with each other, then the data is usually stored on the tag. By storing all the data on thetag, the data will be saved through power cycle events on the machine as well.There are several specialty tags available within our portfolio:•Security•Privacy protection•Extreme temperaturesAllen Bradley offers label tags, smart cards, disc tags, and square tags, as well as tags for specialty applications such as highimpact and mounting on metal. SLI tags are most commonly used in high-frequency industrial RFID applications.These high-memory tags are ideal for applications where the tags move throughout the facility on machines that are notcommunicating with each other.This section helps determine the recommended transceiver for your application. If you have a high-speed application, it is best tochoose the largest transceiver which will provide the largest antenna range.This will provide the longest time the tag is in the field forread/write functions.This will also help when tag misalignment occurs. If your tag will be stopped when all read/write functions occurand tag misalignment is not an issue, smaller transceivers can be used.The larger the transceiver, the larger the antenna field.This typically also correlates to the physical size of the tag. For a largertransceiver, a larger tag is recommended. Conversely, a small transceiver warrants a physically smaller tag.1234567The RFID application simulator will:•Help design and validate the optimal system for a given application• Illustrate the size of the transceiver read/write field•Provide the maximum speed a tag can pass through the field to exchange the data required to and from the tagThis FREE tool can be found in Create Proposals and SubmittalsProposalWorksor on the RFIDWebsite:RFID APPLICATIONSIMULATOR
