Pepper Fuchs

Pepperl+Fuchs, a leading provider of industrial automation technology, has unveiled its latest innovation in RFID technology with the introduction of the IUR-F800-V1D-4A*. This new UHF RFID reader is specifically designed for connecting external antennas, making it ideal for gate applications in logistics. With over three decades of experience in providing reliable RFID systems for industrial applications, Pepperl+Fuchs continues to push the boundaries of innovation in the field.

In factory automation, RFID systems are crucial for ensuring safe processes and transparency in production. The IUR-F800-V1D-4A* UHF RFID read/write device expands Pepperl+Fuchs’ product range to offer complete transparency in logistics applications following production. Built with proven and internationally standardized UHF technology (ISO 18000-63 or EPC Class 1 Gen 2), this device enables the cost-efficient construction of RFID gates by accommodating up to four external antennas.

RFID gates equipped with the IUR-F800-V1D-4A* facilitate the quick and simultaneous detection of large quantities of tags during transit. These gates play a vital role in automated inspection processes for incoming and outgoing goods, as well as during transportation between storage and production areas. The information gathered by the RFID gates can seamlessly integrate into existing backend systems such as ERP and MES, ensuring maximum transparency across the entire value chain.

To accommodate various applications, the IUR-F800-V1D-4A* supports a variety of antenna types for optimal adaptation. The powerful UHF reader enables reading and writing over long distances, while additional inputs and outputs allow for the connection of sensors or external signal lights. Clearly visible LEDs provide real-time information about the device’s operating status, enhancing user experience and operational efficiency.

Both the IUR-F800-V1D-4A* reader and its associated antennas are built with rugged housings, ensuring durability in demanding operational conditions. This robust design makes the new UHF RFID reader well-suited for industrial environments where reliability and performance are paramount.

With the introduction of the IUR-F800-V1D-4A*, Pepperl+Fuchs continues to lead the way in providing innovative RFID solutions that enable the transparent flow of goods in logistics and industrial automation applications.
