With the new SIH-2100 scemtec® presents the innovative solution which has fulfilled the pre-existing contrary wishes of the market regarding the technology of handheld RFID Readers. In designing the appliance particular value was placed not just on the high reading and writing performance of the HF-RFID storage medium but also on a long battery running time.
In spite of its large antenna, the lightweight RFID reader lies well-balanced and easily in the hand. The high performance antenna allows an extreme write and read distance from, for example, up to 32 cm with transponders in credit card size. At the same time, the antenna can document even small RFID transponders, for example, like the “coin-tags” with a maximum diameter of 16 mm and an incredible 10 cm read/write distance.
As well as the cableless Bluetooth interface, the SIH 2100 is also available with a cabled USB-2.0 interface. Although the reader with its 500 mW HF power amplifier is “only” a handheld, it is still able to outperform some of the stationary RFID midrange HF readers of the ISO 15693 standard.
It is possible with its large dimensioned antenna and the high sensitivity of the receiver to allow scanning/programming of single HF transponders. Moreover, applications are also possible which require a fast “pile recognition” or “anti-collision”, which means a “simultaneous” reading of multiple RFID transponders. In so doing, the reader can effortlessly handle approximately 45 transponder serial numbers per second.
This means that the SIH 2100 from scemtec® has opened up the market of mobile automatic identification to a new dimension in technological possibilities for RFID applications which conventional RFID hand reading appliances have not yet been able to implement.
The new generation of appliances can be easily controlled using application software via its interface from a mobile handheld – or via a PC. The reader also works “independently” when in so called “stand-alone” mode, which means without use of a PC or a handheld computer. This means that the collecting of transponder data in “stand-alone” mode can be freely configurated by the user. For example, only the serial numbers in minimal mode or –freely configurated in the reader – also serial numbers and memory contents of the transponder can be sorted with data and time and stored in the RFID reader’s memory. The standard memory is equipped with 128 Kbyte and also affords space for over 8,000 transponder ID’s with a time stamp. The internal data storage of the SIH 2100 is built with FRAM technology. This means that should a break in the power supply occur, the previously scanned information stored in the appliances’ memory is secured and after charging/replacing the battery is able to be transmitted to a PC
The SIH 2100 already has CE and FCC approval.
