Battery free RFID weight monitoring tag
The device, from Spanish manufacturer Farsens, features four channels for load cells with measurement ranges from 0 kfg to 900 kfg per channel. The tag comes in a variety of antenna designs and sizes to adapt the performance to the required application in the 860 to 960 MHz band. The reading distance for the battery free magnetometer tag is around 1.5 meters (5 feet) and it can be embedded in a wide variety of materials such as plastics or concrete. Evaluation kits are available.
Atlas can be used without batteries at all, allowing for a wide range of opportunities monitoring weight in applications where the accessibility is restricted. It is also a perfect match for users that have RFID infrastructure in place and want to monitor weight without adding the cost of wiring or maintenance (battery changes).
The tags are ideally suited to warehouse inventories, especially for granulates and liquids. In this scenario, the stock keeping units are generally large (big containers of tons of weight) but the shop floor orders are small. Managers find themselves with a variety of containers with unknown quantities of product — anything between an empty container and a full container. Atlas helps them quantify their inventories just by reading the tag information in a matter of seconds.
