RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A radio frequency identification system, and method of operation thereof, provides: a sensor for sensing the absence or presence of a radio frequency identification transponder at the radio frequency identification system; a supply system connected to the sensor for supplying the radio frequency identification transponder to the radio frequency identification system in the absence of the radio frequency identification transponder at the radio frequency identification system; and a programmer connected to the sensor for writing transponder content to the radio frequency identification transponder at the radio frequency identification system in the presence of the radio frequency identification transponder at the radio frequency identification system.

主权项

1. A method for operating a radio frequency identification (RFID) system, the method comprising:
providing a label including an RFID transponder; feeding the label with a feeder along a first direction to a pickup point for a robotic handling system for placement on a product, wherein the product is moving along an assembly line in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction; sensing the label at the pickup point with a sensor; causing the feeder to feed another label to the pickup point when the sensor does not sense the label at the pickup point with a control system connected to the sensor and the feeder; and wherein the control system is connectible to the assembly line to have the robotic handling system pick up the label at the pickup point and place the label on the product.
