RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) | Peripherals| Products/Technology | Toyo Kanetsu, Manufacturer of Logistics and Material Handling Equipment

Features

Now RFID tags can be read from afar. (The frequency of RFID and the output of the reader may cause reading distance to vary.) Moreover, unlike a bar code reader, the directionality does not matter.

Bulk readable/rewritable

Issues and problems

Surrounding tags are misread.

UHF-band RFID used in the distribution and logistics industry can read tags that are several meters or more away from the RFID antenna, but conversely, it can also read tags that you do not want to read, such as products placed around the reading gate. Toyo Kanetsu uses EasyTAP (RFID middleware) unique tag recognition algorithm to identify static tags and moving tags to improve reading accuracy.

Can I test it before implementing?

We have set up a dedicated RFID verification facility at the Toyo Kanetsu Chiba Plant (Kisarazu). You can bring your own product and do testing under conditions close to actual conditions in your environment. Please contact us using the inquiry form for more information on testing.

I don't know which tag to use!

There are many types of RFID tags that varying size, processing, and price. We can help you make the best choice based on your particular conditions and environment in order to optimize performance and price. At Toyo Kanetsu, you can compare tag performance using the tag verification tool, EasyTAG.

In partnership with Quake Global Inc. of the United States
Providing RFID middleware

In May 2008, we entered into a partnership with Reva Systems (currently Quake Global), the world's top manufacturer of RFID network infrastructure.
EasyTAP (RFID middleware appliance) is middleware using algorithms in the RFID network infrastructure, and has a superior track record for accurate reading of tags.

About Quake Global

Established in 1998, it is a pioneer in machine-to-machine (M2M) development. Quake Global is a leader in RFID with over 500 projects worldwide.

RFID System using UHF-Band

Equipped with UHF-band RFID reader/writer. This mobile type can be adjusted to any part of the operation, improving the efficiency of inbound, outbound and cycle counting operations.

Example Cases: Textile/Fabric Inventory Management, Pallet Storage Management

Major Features

The lightweight aluminum structure is easy for anyone to move.
The lithium-ion battery has a long battery life and allows for mobility.
The system allows for multiple readers and writers, along with the ability to arbitrarily set the detection area.
With an allowable 800mm of stroke on the reader, the height can be adjusted with the use of a handle.
In other words, adjusting the height of the reader/writer does not require the use of any tools and can be adjusted very simple, on the spot.
The gate also uses a signal tower for quick glance, visual confirmation of reading.
Read confirmation is done with a 7 segment display and shows the number of tags detected.
By using a hammer lock to keep it in place, it can be placed anywhere stably and safely.

RFID Tunnel Gate

This high-precision, high-capacity RFID tunnel gate system batch reads individual items for each case of apparel and medical equipment with a passive RFID tag (EPC C1G2 tag) attached to each item.
