Sensor Sense: RFID for smart position sensing | Machine Design

Robert Repas 1 | Nov 04, 2010

In most applications, radio-frequency-identification (RFID) systems are used to store product and process data on, or retrieve it from, a special RFID tag using wireless technologies. Power to operate the electronics in the tag comes from the RF energy of the interrogating transmitter. When powered, the tag transmits the programmed identifying information to the receiver. But if you look at RFID tagging on a more-fundamental level, it's essentially a smart proximity sensor.

A proximity sensor detects the presence of a piece of metal and...

Sensor Sense: RFID for smart position sensing | Machine Design

But if you look at RFID tagging on a more-fundamental level, it's essentially a smart proximity sensor.

A proximity sensor detects the presence of a piece of metal and knows that a pallet has arrived at that location. Likewise, an RFID system also detects the arrival of a pallet. Except an RFID system can also determine what type of part is on that pallet by reading the identification code programmed into the tag. This does not mean...
