New SmartLabel for efficient logistics and product identification

SIMATIC RF630L - Compact with high range

Siemens is expanding its portfolio for ultra high frequency (UHF) identification systems to include two new SmartLabels. The passive and maintenance-free Simatic RF630L labels feature a reading range of up to five meters and are used primarily in warehouse and distribution logistics as well as for product identification. Thanks to the broadband design, the labels are suitable for worldwide use.

The new Simatic RF630L SmartLabels feature an extremely compact design with dimensions of just 73 x 12.5 millimeters or 75 x 20 millimeters and have a very large storage capacity of up to 448 bits of EPC (Electronic Product Code) plus 2048 bits of user memory. This means that even large volumes of data can be stored directly on the product, which increases the efficiency of logistics within the process chain. With their high degree of protection of IP67 (protection against foreign bodies and the ingress of water), the Simatic RF630L labels are also suitable for use in harsh industrial environments. The SmartLabels use UHF Class 1 Gen2 technology. These self-adhesive and individually printable SmartLabels are detected by using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) readers from the Siemens Simatic RF600 portfolio.
