Maintenance-free SmartLabel for extremely high temperatures

SIMATIC RF682L - Heat-resistant with very high range

Siemens is expanding its Simatic RF600 portfolio for ultra high frequency (UHF) products to include the Simatic RF682L SmartLabel. The heat-resistant, passive and maintenance-free label has a long reading range of up to six meters and withstands even extreme temperatures of up to 230 degrees Celsius in the short term without any loss of quality. In addition it has a very large storage capacity of up to 448 bits of EPC (Electronic Product Code) plus 2048 bits of user memory. On request, the shape and imprint of this label can be adapted to customer requirements.

Due to its properties, the Simatic RF682L is suitable for the direct Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-supported identification of objects in production logistics with high temperature stress. This includes for example paint shops. The SmartLabel operates on the basis of standard ISO 18000-63 and is suitable for worldwide use thanks to the broadband design. In addition to the high temperature resistance, Simatic RF682L also features IP67 protection rating (protection against the ingress of water and foreign bodies) for use in harsh industrial environments. The label can be read using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) readers from the Siemens Simatic RF600 portfolio.
