Enables high performance reading/writing under a range of conditions and RFID applications in three major regions of the globe
Schaumburg, IL — August 4, 2006 — Technology provider Omron RFID has debuted an expansion of its EPC UHF reader product line to the radio frequency identification (RFID) market, rolling out a new reader platform designed to support global frequency bands for the United States, Europe and Japan.
The V750 reader platform supports 915MHz for the United States, 866MHz for Europe and 953MHz for Japan, Omron said. The platform enables EPC Gen2 reading/writing, and it features diagnostics, self-execution and RF environmental monitoring functions.
"Our new platform is ... the result of many customer and system integrator requests for an interrogator that can lower total installation costs, expand RFID applications and provide site analysis assistance," said Bill Arnold, Omron RFID chief strategist.
The V750 runs on a light real-time operating system (RTOS) intended to meet high line speed and input/output requirements for supply chain as well as packaging and manufacturing operations. For example, Omron said that the V750 has an "optimized" implementation for tag density self-adjustment, which can improve actual read times required for applications that have frequent changes to the number of tags being read.
This new platform supports Omron's recently announced electronic control antenna technology, which provides direction of tag travel and is designed to eliminate "null points" in the read zone to achieve improvement for RFID tag read reliability.
