New Balluff Configurator Tool Simplifies Building a RFID System

With Balluff’s new online RFID configurator tool, you can confidently and efficiently select the product combinations required for configuring a RFID system to meet application needs. Find the tool here:

Users can select the primary driver of their application — data carrier (also called a tag or a chip), read/write head (also called an antennae), or processor — and the configurator filters remaining selections to only those tested and proven to work together.

Products can additionally be filtered by required frequency — high frequency (BIS M), low frequency (BIS L) and Balluff proprietary low frequency for machine tool identification (BIS C) — as well as by data carrier mounting options — metal free, non-flush and flush.

Once a system has been built to meet the application needs, users can add products to the web cart, where they can view availability and pricing, or export the product list to an Excel or CSV file.

Additional products will be added to the configurator tool as they are released.

Key features include:

• Web configuration system simplifies the RFID system product selection and ordering process

• Product combinations have been tested and proven compatible together

• Configurator groups: High frequency (BIS M), and two for low frequency (BIS C and BIS L)

RFID systems provide convenient and direct visibility into the supply chain and provide dependable actionable data. Users can manage the flow and track items through all processes. RFID is ideal for applications such as asset tracking and work in process (WIP) tracking.
