Improving RFID system reliability

RFID technology does not require any contact to detect objects with electronic information tags, speeding up a variety of processes in production, logistics and retail. In cases that require high levels of object identification accuracy, a high-performance antenna is needed that is capable of capturing the information stored on the RFID transponders at any time. Fraunhofer IIS has developed a Multibeam Antenna for such challenging scanning scenarios. Thanks to its nine directional beams the antenna provides high levels of accuracy when capturing data from transponders within its flexible read range. At the same time, it optimises the reliability of RFID systems.
