Accu-Sort(R) EZReader-HF(TM) RFID Tag Reader Tunes Itself to Cut Set-up Time.PHILADELPHIA -- Accu-Sort Systems, Inc., announced today that it has introduced the EZReader-HF[TM] RFID tag An electronic identification device that is made up of a chip and antenna. For reusable applications, it is typically embedded in a plastic housing, and for tracking shipments, it is usually part of a "smart" packaging label. reader that offers automatic tuning and easy set up, significantly reducing installation time. Upon start-up the EZReader-HF sets frequency and "match," freeing the installer from performing these steps. In addition, both the EZReader-HF and its antenna store operating parameters for the current installation. Therefore, if either the reader or antenna needs to be replaced for any reason, the new component simply reads the set-up parameters from the installed device, eliminating the need to configure operating parameters, greatly reducing replacement time and cost. In an RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) A data collection technology that uses electronic tags for storing data. The tag, also known as an "electronic label," "transponder" or "code plate," is made up of an RFID chip attached to an antenna. installation, the reader sends RF commands to the tag and receives data from the tag via an antenna. EZReader-HF operates at 13.56 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. and communicates via on-board On board usually means to be traveling on some vehicle. For example, Baby On Board. Compare with overboard. Metaphorically, the term on-board is often used to refer to some piece of technology that is integrated in a moving vehicle, for example: in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. or EtherNet/IP to other devices in a customer's facility, making it a true plug-and-play device. It connects directly to Accu-Sort's FAST Monitor[TM] system software, which monitors the condition of multiple automatic identification systems throughout a facility and stores operating data in a central database. FAST Monitor also provides remote diagnostics Vehicle Diagnostics Vehicle diagnostics enables a mechanic to diagnose the exact mechanical condition of the vehicle and its systems and components. Remote Diagnostics enables to perform such diagnosis without requiring the vehicle to physically be present for checkup. capability, allowing systems to be monitored and analyzed from anywhere in the world. "EZReader-HF puts 'easy' into RFID," said Troy Herman, Accu-Sort Manager - North American North American named after North America. North American blastomycosis see North American blastomycosis.

Using the patent-pending 'Easy Tune' feature that comes standard with every EZReader-HF Antenna, fine-tuning read points is as easy as pushing a button. This is the easiest to use RFID reader A transmitter/receiver that reads the contents of RFID tags in the vicinity. Also called an "RFID interrogator." The maximum distance between the reader's antenna and the tag vary, depending on application. on the market today." The new EZReader-HF can be used as a stand-alone device or can be controlled by a host system. The stand-alone functionality allows the user to hook a sensor directly into the reader to indicate the presence of a tag, allowing for hands-free and host free identification. This new platform incorporates Accu-Sort's 35 years of experience in material handling and manufacturing and puts this experience into the development of the reader and antenna. EZReader-HF can read multiple RFID tag formats, including ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. 15693/14443, ISLI ISLI Institute for System Level Integration (Scotland) ISLI Institute Supérieur de Logistique Industrielle (French: Institute for Supply Chain Excellence) , I*CODE and Tag-it[TM]. It also has adjustable power capability, enabling it to read tags at a much greater distance than previous versions. EZReader-HF is IP65 rated so it resists dust and moisture and can be used outside, in industrial areas, or on vehicles. Besides TCP/IP and EtherNet/IP, it communicates via DeviceNet, PROFIBUS (PROcess FIeldBUS) An industrial control network used for factory automation, process control, motion control and safety networks. Using a master/slave architecture, specialized "Profiles" are used to support each of these areas. , RS-422 and RS-232. EZReader-HF has three different antenna options: * Medium-Range 5-in. by 7-in. antenna for applications where space constraints are an issue * Long-Range 12-in. x 16-in. antenna for applications requiring a longer read distance * Standard 5-in. by 16-in. conveyor antenna for tags presented in a bottom read orientation Accu-Sort is a pioneer in reliable auto-ID and high-speed compliance solutions with over 35 years of systems integration experience deploying and supporting scanning and tracking solutions in distribution, warehousing, manufacturing and retail environments.
