RFID & Identification
Identification sensors read data from tags on products, pallets and tooling. This sub-category lists identification sensors for tracking items in automated systems. Tag based identification works without line of sight, which helps where labels may be dirty, covered or damaged.
They are used in production, warehousing and tool management where each item must be recognised without manual scanning. Check the reading distance, the tag type, the mounting space and the interface to your controller. Mounting on or near metal can affect reading, so check the sensor guidance.
