Making RFID earn its keep
20 July, 2010RFID is by now a well-established radio technology. However, the radio system can only be effective if the installation, and the need for it, work hand in hand after some very careful planning and research. This article looks beyond the technology and into that planning process to ensure RFID implementation is a success.
Sick RFH620 RFID system
08 December, 2009 byThe RFH620 RFID system is designed to be a solution for intralogistics, with an integrated antenna, high transmission rates in the 13.56 MHz frequency range, and openness for differing fieldbus environments and IT structures.

Modular RFID interface
17 August, 2009 byThe BL ident RFID product portfolio has been expanded with the release of a simple RFID (RFID-S) slice for its BL20 modular I/O system. Each RFID-S slice contains two channels of RFID. Additional RFID slices, as well as traditional discrete and analog I/O slices, may be added to the system, making it the only product on the market that allows this combination on the same node on the network, according to Turck.

Electronic DNA enables unclonable RFID chips
27 November, 2008Security technology exploits uniqueness of individual silicon chips for authentication and secret key generation.
Protecting RFID security
26 September, 2008Contactless RFID is well established for access control for buildings; simply wave a pass near the reader and the door opens. However, it is generally not realised just how easy it is for unauthorised people to access the information on these devices without the owners even realising, warns Peratech, a designer of new materials for touch technology.
Transport under scrutiny at RFID conference
