scemtec’s innovative 3D RFID tunnel system solution

next to no time, scemtec’s exclusive RFID tunnel antenna systems for passive 13.56 MHz transponders have proven their worth in many different automatic identification projects using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology.

Systems houses from the automation, laundry, pharmaceuticals, trade and transport logistics sectors are now increasingly using these special, customer-specific solutions from scemtec in order to solve the difficulties posed by transponder position-dependence in passive RFID systems.

Because of their special design, the tunnel antennas enable the X, Y and Z axes in the tunnel interior to be fully recorded for the first time.
The scemtec engineers can install the tunnel antennas in various sizes. In connection with the scemtec SHL-2001 RFID reader system and the newly developed analog antenna multiplexer, the antennas can be switched without any wear and tear. As a result, the switched antenna systems do not require any service or maintenance, unlike previous, obsolete systems that were switched using relays.

Another technical milestone for tunnel systems is the first-ever synchronisation of scemtec RFID read-write systems. This accomplishment will allow the performance of tunnel systems to be improved even further, which is why scemtec expects to expand the range of possible uses for this extremely innovative technology. The company has particularly set its sights on sectors that still use conventional optical identification technologies (barcodes).
