Escort Memory Systems is known within the industry for products that support virtually every industrial communication protocol making them ideal for integrators and end users facing real life scenarios.
Our selection of interface modules for HF RFID systems feature a high level of connectivity to Industrial Ethernet networks and PLCs (Allen Bradley, Modbus and more).
Recently Escort Memory Systems has introduced several new Ethernet Gateways and Hubs for use with the Cobalt HF Series Antenna Controllers.
These modules features include:
- Easily integrate RFID data directly into an Ethernet host(standard and industrial)
- Build RS485 networks of multiple Controller/Antennas
- Industrial I/Os that can be linked to the Controller/Antennas to control stack lights conveyers etc.
Features
- Industrial UHF Solutions
- Long range antennas capable of reading EPC Gen1 and Gen2.
- UHF tags capable of surviving the harshest industrial applications and environments.
UHF systems feature long range, and high speed read/write rates. Small antennas and even smaller tags have proven this to be an effective frequency for tracking pallets through dock doors, as well as trucking and transportation applications. Industrial UHF applications have also begun to effectively be developed for tracking parts, product and carriers through production. For industrial applications involving significant environmental obstructions HF is a preferred frequency.
Escort Memory Systems offers Industrial UHF Solutions including long range antennas capable of reading EPC Gen1 and Gen2. EMS has supplemented its UHF reader offering with ruggedly engineered UHF tags capable of surviving the harshest industrial applications and environments.
Low Frequency (LF) RFID (125 kHz) LF has a long history (20 years) of being used in industrial environments, as well as in animal tracking/tagging applications.
Escort Memory Systems offers the RS line of LF Read-Only RFID Readers and ES Tags. This rugged line has been used for years by industries such as textile manufacturing, automotive and more.
Tags can be pre programmed with specific IDs based on customer requirements. Once in place these systems have the reputation of needing very little maintenance and they consistently perform in industrial conditions.
Low Frequency Series Features
- Less susceptibility to the effects of metals liquids and other nearby elements compared to frequencies like HF and UHF.
- Extremely robust.
- Read range of up to two feet.
- Single tag read-only systems.
Escort Memory Systems offers HF RFID systems with a track record of performing consistently in industrial applications. Mounted alongside conveyers, under forklifts and at intersection points the variety of form factors, high levels of connectivity, and integrated intelligence put you in control of your data capture application.
Our HF Controller/Antennas include the Cobalt HF, LRP, and HMS Series.
Features include:
- Integrated Controller/Antenna Designs
- Conveyer style antennas designed to fit in between the metal rollers on a conveyer
- Short range tubular remote antenna heads
- Mobile handheld RFID models
- Large, multiple tag in field, plate-style antennas
- Built-in Macro intelligence allows each reader to act as an independent thinker, making logical decisions based upon the data it reads
Cobalt HF Series
- Integrated controller/antenna design
- Reads/Writes to all LRP and HMS tags as well as other vendors ISO15693 tags
- Wide variety of Antenna sizes from 10cm to 30cm and conveyor types
- C-Macro logic drives intelligence down to the point-of-use unloads factory network, and simplifies building and maintaining RFID applications operating on PLC's
- Software-The Dashboard; a Windows PC-based lets users configure, debug and maintain Cobalt HF™ products and networks
- An expanded command set called CBx builds on the familiar ABx Fast command set used by previous generations of Escort Memory Systems products and is backward compatible
rmec's fixed readers are not only configurable using either single- or multiple antenna setups, they're smart. From reading pallets to cartons on high speed conveyor belts, fixed readers provide data filtering and control of peripherals for effective, accurate RFID supply chain management.
Motorola's general purpose AN200 RFID antenna can be used reliably in a wide range of indoor and outdoor environments from the warehouse to the production line to the docking zone.
The rugged design withstands environmental conditions such as extreme heat and cold, as well as moisture and vibration making this antenna ideal for nearly any application. The AN200 Antenna can be used in both standard RFID applications at power levels of up to 1 watt and in customized applications at power levels up to 20 watts.
Joining the diverse line of RFID readers are the Intermec RFID antennas, including antennas specifically designed for fixed applications as well as vehicle mount applications where shock and vibration can far exceed average industry specifications.
