‘Rfid’

A Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Singula now handles lossy materials from Integrated Engineering Software, which we summarised at the time by saying "Integrated Engineering Software has announced that the latest version of its Singula product for antenna analysis now handles highly lossy materials. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Testing line for oil pumps from Hoerbiger-Origa: "Bussing and Bolurtschi, has designed an assembly line for an automotive manufacturer using electrical linear drives and rodless pneumatic cylinders from the modular system offered by Hoerbiger-Origa. ".
 
In September 2008, we covered the news from IFM Electronic - take a look at System allows addition of RFID to AS-i network which says: "IFM Electronic's AS-interface-based RFID system allows a user to either simply add RFID to an existing AS-i network, or create an RFID system with 31 read/write (or just read) heads. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Two Technologies, Handheld computer handles industrial exremes, as well as Safety switches preserve productivity from Rockwell Automation (Allen-Bradley Guardmaster ), and Film protects RFID tags from Victrex USA.
