BIS U RFID for manufacturing and logistics

UHF based RFID can track assets with greater range and flexibility

Balluff’s BIS U series UHF or Ultra High Frequency RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) provides one of the most reliable and flexible tools to get visibility into your supply chain and manufacturing process. Because BIS U technology is passive, no expensive battery based tags are required. With the BIS U, non-contact read/write ranges as high as 6 meters can be achieved. BIS U RFID can not only be used with low cost paper tags, but also industrially hardened long life metal mount container tags and even high temperature tags.

Benefits
 – Real-time visibility for logistics and manufacturing
 – Unlike bar codes, UHF does not require “line-of-sight”  
 – No batteries needed for long range transmission and lower cost

Features:

 – Supports standard EPC Gen 2 tags
 – RS232 Serial or Ethernet TCP/IP interface option
 – Up to four antennas can be used on one controller

Software Integration Having the ability to transfer your data to and from the RFID tags is just as critical as the RFID system itself. To help you with this, Balluff works with and offers several options for the software integration of our RFID systems, including the BIS U. These software solutions include options like middleware to transfer data from the BIS U on the factory floor or dock door "gateways" to databases, data reporting interfaces and sophisticated multi-location data, product and logistics management.

System integration Balluff, along with integration partners, can provide site surveys and integration services to make sure your RFID system performs exactly the way you need it to. Balluff offers site survey services to determine the most successful way to locate and use your UHF system. We provide on-site investigation and reporting with finding documentation and recommendations to be sure your RFID installation succeeds. We also offer hardware installation and software integration services with highly skilled and experienced integration partners to make sure your installation will provide years of reliable operation. Balluff can even offer financing options to make sure your system costs match your budgetary demands.
