DVD Shows Real-World Applications of Radio
Frequency ID Technology
The Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) announces the release
of "RFID: Tool Tracking Solutions," part of its award-winning
Manufacturing Insights Video Series. Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID), the process and physical infrastructure in which
a unique identifier is transferred from a device (tag) to a reader via
radio frequency waves, is used in a wide variety of applications both in
the supply chain as well as manufacturing to improve performance of
manufacturing processes and to increase accuracy in the supply chain.

***BCL500i Bar Code Reader ***
|
NEW HUDSON, MI: The BCL500i Bar Code Reader is used in packaging
conveyer systems to identify box location, pallet wrapping systems and
anywhere code fragmentation reconstruction is needed such as reading a
barcode on a tire. This unit can do high-speed scanning for extremely
fast applications and has a high performance lens which provides scope
for an extensive scanning field even at close range, with 800 to 1200
scans/second adjustable scanning rate. The innovative code
reconstruction technology (CRT) software in the scanner can reconstruct
fragments of information from skewed, damaged or dirty codes. ---Leuze

***Tactilus Takes Guesswork out of Heat
Seals***
|
MADISON, NJ: Sensor Products Inc. offers its Tactilus line of
dynamic electronic pressure-mapping systems to the packaging industry.
This innovative device allows measurement of contact pressures between
any two mating surfaces. The application includes quality control
monitoring of uniform pressures across sealing dies in heat seal and
sealing machinery. The Tactilus system reveals critical pressure
irregularities that can compromise package integrity. The technology is
a matrix-based tactile surface sensor that works by the principle of
piezoresistance. Each Tactilus sensor is carefully assembled to exacting
tolerances and individually calibrated and serialized. The Tactilus
system comes equipped with all components necessary to collect data for
comprehensive analysis, including sensor element, electronics controller
and Windows-based Tactilus software. ---Sensor Products, Inc.
