RF Controls LLC will be teaming up with Confidex to demonstrate its new CS-445B Smart RTLS Antenna System at RFID Journal LIVE! 2019 in Phoenix, April 2-4. Confidex has partnered with RF Controls to supply its passive RFID tags for the solution.
The CS-445B is a passive real-time location system (RTLS) capable of providing highly granular inventory and asset location data across the global supply chain. It provides precise, hands-free and continuous location data on RAIN RFID passive UHF tags at distances that were previously not possible using legacy RTLS technologies – more than 25 feet. By providing fixed overhead scanning in a warehouse or distribution center environment, the CS-445B can monitor as much as 2,000 square feet of space in three dimensions, tracking the location of tagged items to within 18 inches, as well as the movement of items from zone to zone.
“The CS-445B Smart RTLS Antenna System can enable new levels of supply chain visibility,” said Adrian Turchet, SVP strategy and corporate development, RF Controls. “No other product on the market can deliver real-time location data at such long distances and with this high degree of accuracy.”
“With the increased demand for high velocity at a lower cost in the modern supply chain, there is no room for error,” said Joe Hoerl, director, Americas at Confidex.
The CS-445B is already in use in the supply chain, helping customers ensure the accuracy of outbound shipments without manual scanning or reconciliation, for work-in-process tracking, and for high-value asset tracking. Other potential use cases include part and tool tracking; tracking totes, carts and work orders; inventory management from receipt to sale; and pallet build and breakdown operations.
