Intermec Technologies Corp.:
-- Multi-protocol capabilities support EPCglobal Gen 2, Gen 1 and
ISO-based RFID systems
-- Available for order worldwide Sept. 1
Intermec Technologies Corp. and METRO Group today announced the
successful demonstration of the first EPCglobal Generation 2 RFID
handheld reader that also meets stringent European requirements for
radio frequency and reader communications protocols. The new
multi-protocol Intermec IP4 Intellitag(R) multi-protocol RFID reader
reads Gen 2 tags from multiple manufacturers. It also reads tags based
on all major global RFID standards, including EPCglobal Gen 2, Gen 1
and ISO 18000-6b, with a migration path to the emerging ISO 18000-6c
standard.
"METRO Group and its suppliers already are experiencing the
benefits of RFID," Dr. Wolfram said. "METRO and Intermec believe the
capabilities of Generation 2 promise even greater business benefits to
retail supply chains worldwide."
Intermec's IP4 Intellitag reader, an accessory handle for
attachment to the popular Intermec(R) 700 Series Color mobile
computers, delivers first-of-its-kind capability by combining the
power of a handheld mobile computing device equipped with PAN, LAN and
WAN radios, as well as a multi-protocol RFID radio that can be used
worldwide.
Intermec RFID readers are the first Generation 2 readers to meet
the European ETSI 302 208 standard, which gives European customers
increased RFID read ranges.
The IP4 will be available for order worldwide Sept. 1 for
production deliveries in November.
RFID is a complement to industry's current bar code-based tracking
systems, allowing companies to automatically track inventory
throughout an entire supply chain. RFID automatic data collection
typically does not require line of sight or manual scanning as do most
bar code-based systems. For example, information from RFID-tagged
cases on a pallet can be read automatically using fixed, mobile or
handheld readers rather than requiring individual bar code scanning.
Read/write RFID tags and labels can be reprogrammed to update the
information on each tag as it proceeds through manufacturing and
supply chain processes, providing new levels of up-to-date information
for timely decision making.
