RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (RFID) SYSTEM FOR A FORKLIFT

摘要

An RFID system (100) for a forklift (105) incorporates a metal plate (130, 420, 440, 530) to which is attached an electronic circuit assembly (205) and an antenna assembly (140) housing an RFID interrogator antenna and/or a WLAN antenna. The metal plate operates as a ground plane to the antenna assembly and also serves as a mounting plate for mounting the RFID system on a sideshifter (115) or a carriage (120) of the forklift.
