Radio-based RFID technologies in the HF (high frequencey) and UHF (ultra high frequency) ranges supplement SICK's industrial automation portfolio. In applications where process-relevant data is modified remotely, RFID makes it possible to store data on writable and rewriteable media. And, in contrast to optical solutions, RFID provides reliable identification of all objects despite dirt and everyday wear.

RFA3xx antennas
The maintenance-free, high-performance RFA3xx antennas for operation on the RFID interrogator RFI341, for example, are used for wirelessly identifying objects with passive transponders. The maximum effective range of the near field is made possible by means of an optimized antenna gain (Q-factor). The RFA321 and RFA341 antennas can also be individually adapted for a specific environment with the aid of smoothing capacitors.
