how it works
Forklift picks up pallet, Lokus reader detects RFID tag on pallet card
Forklift drives to location in Coolstore/warehouse
Forklift drives over floor tag and reads position in Coolstore/warehouse
Pallet is placed in position and located automatically
This information will display on your forklift tablet
Passive and active RFID systems
In passive RFID systems, the reader and the reading antenna send a radio signal to the tag. The passive RFID tag does not have its own energy source but makes use of the received signal to activate itself. They only need a microchip and antenna, and they are cheaper, smaller and easier to produce than active tags. Passive RFID systems operate in low frequency (LF),high frequency (HF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF) bands.
​
Passive tags can be integrated in many different ways, depending on the specific RFID application requirements. They can be integrated, for example, between an adhesive layer and a paper label to make smart RFID labels. Passive tags can also be integrated in a wide variety of devices or packagings to protect the tag against extreme temperatures or aggressive chemicals. This is an example of a durable tag.
​
In active RFID systems, the tag sends a radio signal to the reader and the reading antenna (also called gateway). Active RFID systems have tags with their own transmitter and power source, mostly a battery or solar cell. In order to save the battery life, they send out radio signals at adjustable times. They are also significantly more expensive than passive tags. The gateways receive the active tag signal and have the possibility to monitor the real-time location of the tag (and the object on which the tag is mounted).
What does an RFID system consist of?
Data carriers
RFID tags contain the data that identify an object or person. The information can be static (for example for the identification of a roll container) or dynamic (for example for recording temperatures during refrigerated transports).
​
Together we determine which technology is most suitable for your application. In some cases, this can be a combination of various technologies, eg an RFID label with a printed barcode on it. It makes it possible to transparently use both technologies in different places. If the available standard tags do not meet the requirements, we are able to develop RFID tags tailored to your process.
RFID Middleware | Data Processing
To integrate RFID into an environment, the use of flexible interfaces is a necessity. The interface that will fill this function is called middleware. This software can be limited to reading RFID tags and passing on their identification number to an underlying system (ERP, WMS, TMS…).
In other cases, the detection of the RFID readers must first be further analysed based on filters and algorithms, and then passed on to an underlying system.
​
Aucxis developed the Edge computing middleware HERTZ to set up communication between hardware and business applications.
​
data readers
RFID tags are read by fixed or mobile reading equipment. Numerous standard solutions are available on the market, such as RFID handhelds, portals and scanners, UHF readers, NFC reader.
​
We integrate standard equipment into our solutions unless they cannot fully meet the needs of your process. In that case we develop specific solutions.
RFID Software | Data Management
Data management includes all actions that make the digital data findable, accessible and understandable. This includes storage, access, management, combination, transformation and exchange of data. Consistent, reliable real-time information supports the optimal course of your business processes and helps you make strategic decisions.
​
The operation of the RFID system can be displayed in various ways, for example via an LCD screen or handheld with graphic user interface, via a lamp tower with siren, etc. Monitoring an RFID solution can then be done by software that in case of failure, generates alarms via eg. SMS, e-mail.
