Replacing OIS-L 76/77 in Cimat AGV system

One of our most recent request from a customer was to help them update their old Baumer OIS-L readers whish was beginning to show their age. The update was complicated by the fact that the Tag Data needed to be translated by a resolver database in real-time to positional data for the Cimat AVG:s that were and integrated part of their system. Part of this was also the need to send a tag-in-field signal to their PLC when a tag was in the antenna field for reading.
We solved this by adapting our previous Protocol Converter, make it modular and develop modules where a resolver database, as well as tag-in-field functionality, could be added.

The MPC is a further development and merge of our ZIOX host unit and Protocol converter. Following customers needs, it evolved and “MPC” now stands for Modular Protocol Converter – making it possible to add desired functions to the base unit, and thereby simplify the development of customer-specific requests. There are for example a complete keyboard emulator as well as a Tag-In-Field circuit that will send a signal as soon as a tag is within reading distance of an RFID antenna.

The basic MPC still keep the basic functions:

  • Bit rate converter that also converts stop/start bits and parity.
  • ZIOX-host controller.

Which can be extended with for example

  • Logic controller – database with resolver data.
  • Keyboard emulation
  • Customer-specific modules
  • Tag-In-Field circuit that will send a signal as soon as a tag is within reading distance of an RFID antenna

New series RFID cable ties from HellermannTyton

We at IdentSystem AB are to be able to offer our customers the possibility of purchasing HellermannTytons range of RFID tags. Their products consist of plastic or metal cable ties, cradles and hextags – all with embedded RFID tags – from LF, HF and UHF depending on the model.
The cable ties are available in an assortment of sizes and colours (more details soon on www.identsystem.com or www.identsystem.se).

Using cable ties for RFID tagging is an excellent way of marking equipment and tools for tracking, identification, inventory or maintenance purpose, as well as affixing to fixed positions for control, repair and maintenance routines.

The polyamide cable ties is available with HF RFID tag in yellow and 200mm long as well as yellow, black or Light blue as 13,56MHz HF tags.

The stainless steel cable ties can be found as 13,56MHz HF or 869MHz UHF tags at lengths form 201 up to 838mm length – all in red colour.

The cradles are suitable for up to 7,5 mm wide cable ties and are equipped with an HF RFID tag.

For locations or situations when a cable tie is not suitable, there is also the hextag, which can be affixed to a surface by screw, bolt or glued.

More information will be available shortly on www.identsystem.com, or on our swedish webshop www.identsystem.se. If you cannot wait, get in touch with us on Contact@identsystem.com.

The story behind Ident System

In our newsletters, we always tell you about our existing and coming products and solutions, but seldom about ourselves and the background of Ident System AB.
We now thought it was time to change that, and here is a short history of the company and our corse products.

It all started by the end of the 1980s when Saab-Automation developed analog CCD cameras in addition to barcode scanners and tag readers for industrial use within various applications. These cameras were commonly used in the wood processing and automobile industries. Even microwave-based RFID technology was found in the product portfolio.

In 1990 Saab Automation was aquired by Swiss Baumer and the company in Sweden become Baumer Ident AB. Baumer further developed these cameras and invested much effort into widening their original RFID portfolio with additional systems, mainly 125kHz but also UHF based products.

During the 2000s, Baumer Ident AB was sold to Identec Solutions AG who moved the business to Austria.

In 2010 former employees of Baumer and Saab decided to develop a new generation of digital cameras based on previous experience and know-how, unveiling a whole new range of digital cameras was ready by the autumn of 2013. To sell, market and develop the new product the company Ident System AB was registered at that same time and EVS138 and EVS144 were introduced and reached huge success within the paper industry. During 2016 Ident System AB launched the EVS144 Imager – a unique product for the market.

Parallel to this, a replacement that is fully compatible with Baumer/Identecs RFID system OIS-L has been developed and during 2015 a new UHF reader was launched.

In 2017 Identsystem started cooperation with Dobot regarding sales and distribution of robotic arms for education, hobby, test, and the smaller industry.

Many involved throughout the years are partners in the company today. This has ensured that the product knowledge, development, and expertise for RFID and code readers have been kept in a unique way enabling the ability to develop completely new products.

Our wide selection of RFID- and optical readers for all needs

Much has happened at Ident System AB during the past year, and more will be coming in 2019. To begin the new year, we thought that an overview of our main readers would be in place:

On the optical reader side we have EVS138 and EVS144, both available in imager and line camera versions:

EVS144 barcode readers are especially made for forklift mounting with long reading distances and no moving parts, operated by the driver. Where the Imager works excellent reading in daylight conditions, the line camera with its own lighting is developed specially for reading in darker areas.

EVS138 can be used in both fixed and mobile situations, while being lighter and smaller than the EVS144, it has high reading capabilities in difficult situations and read most kind of codes.

EVS 138 and EVS144 are available as Imager/matrix CCD camera or as line CCD camera, The imager/matrix camera has autofocus and reads code from near to far (0,5 m to 13m) depending on code density. The imager/matrix camera also reads two dimensional codes (2D). The Line CCD camera works both indoor and outdoor and is very unsensitive to sunlight. All our system can be used in both mobile or in fixed installations.

To cover large reading areas, two EVS138 can be connected as Master/Slave and work seamlessly as a single camera unit.

On the RFID side we have two main LF-reader systems at 125 kHz and 134,2 kHz.

Ideal125 Controller is supplied wit 2 antenna ports and work with older Baumer Ident IOS-L. It is controlled by either RS232 serial interface or PROFIBUS.

MR125 Mini Reader is a reader developed for those situations when you want a small reader integrated into an object, such as a drilling machine to select the right drilling toor or process.

CR125 Conveyor reader is Ethernet based with a web console and constructed to be easily integrated in to roll- or conveyor systems to track or direct the product flow.

USB125 USB reader is a small, USB communicating reader that is made to be portable between machines to manage item-lever identification of fir example press- or stamping process. Or keeping track of stamping tool usage and re-sharpening.

Ideal134 Controller is the central piece of our new tambour ID system for paper industry, the system replaces older Baumer OIS-P or Premid systems pc3000 and pc3100. By using our Ziox controller can you connect the Ideal134 system directly to your old system. The system can be connected to the main suppliers MES systems like Honeywell Optivision, ABB or Paperline.
