Omron introduces EPC UHF global reader platform

Omron RFID has announced theV750 reader platform, an expansion of its EPC UHF reader product line. The new V750 platform, designed and manufactured by Omron will support global frequency bands for the United States (915MHz), Europe (866MHz) and Japan (953MHz).

The reader platform enables high performance EPC Gen2 reading/writing and it features easy set up, advanced diagnostics, self execution and RF environmental monitoring functions.

’The V750 combines decades of Omron‘s experience with the design and manufacturing of RFID systems for wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Our new platform is also the result of many customer and system integrator requests for an interrogator that can lower total installation costs, expand RFID applications and provide site analysis assistance,’ said Bill Arnold, Omron RFID chief strategist.

The V750 runs on a light real-time operating system (RTOS) that delivers consistent, repeatable performance to meet high-line speed and I/O requirements for supply chain as well as packaging and manufacturing operations. For example, the V750 has an ‘optimized’ implementation for tag density self adjustment which improves actual read times required for applications that have frequent changes to the number of tags being read.

This new platform supports Omron’s recently announced electronic control antenna technology that provides direction of tag travel and eliminates ‘null points’ in the read zone to achieve significant improvement for RFID tag read reliability.

Arnold concluded: ‘The combination of Omron’s global frequency Gen2 inlays with our current multi-protocol ThingMagic based V740 reader and the new V750 reader platform continues to demonstrate Omron's commitment to supply RFID solutions for today’s worldwide business activities.’
