Ident System AB EVS144 code readers are a code reader series that is easy to install because of its small dimensions. While both EVS144 models are made for rough outdoor use, the EVS144 Imager excels in strong daylight situations, even where direct sunlight is present. The EVS144 Line Camera, on the other hand, is made for high reliability in low light environments and can if needed be equipped with an external spotlight.

Both models have a joystick-controlled movable read-head which makes them suited for both fixed mounting such as entrance areas or conveyor belts, or forklift mounted.the long reading distances, depth of sharpness and ability to read a wide range of codes as well as inverted codes, codes punched in metal sheets or low quality printed codes makes this a truly versatile series for use in harsh environments where reading conditions and/or a large flexibility to read a range of code types and object sizes are present.

Ident System carries a range of specialized and standard RFID tags on stock, or in some cases as made to order to adapt to our customer’s system. We will present a few of our most common tags here, but you might want to contact us to find the tag best suited for your specific needs.

When you want positional data for a forklift in the loading dock or factory floor to ensure that the load is taken to and from the right place, use our floor tag. The floor tag is part of a 125 kHz LF system and designed to be embedded in the floor – out of the way. All that is needed is to drill a small hole, drop in the tag, and refill the hole. Tag dimensions are 105 x 16 (diameter) mmWe typically install our Ideal125 LF reader in the forklift, connected to its terminal wich forwards the positional data to the WMS, etc. The antenna is mounted under the forklift.

For the packaging industry that manufactures for food and beverages companies, we have a UHF wet inlay tag suited for mounting inside the carton rolls.

We also have an LF 134.2 kHz tag especially developed for ID of Tambours in the paper industry. This tag is especially developed to handle the high demands of ruggedness and good readability when placed against a metal surface.

For tracking of tool (drills, milling machines etc) auto-selection and wear, we have a miniature glass tag working at 125 kHz. This is placed inside a milled slot in the tool and is ideally read by our handherld reader USB125 or similar.

For customers that still use the pc3103/xx (OIS-P) tags from Identec solution (Baumer) wich production were closed down in 2018, we offer customers a refurbishment program that makes the tags as new.The refurbishment program includes: – exchange of battery = prolonged lifetime – test of tags functions – test of micro wave functions. – The program is based on a minimum tag volume of 20 pc per batch or more.We can also offer a wide range of cable ties with LF/HF/UHF tags from HellermannTyton.

In our series of Identification systems in the Logistics Industry, we have now covered Barcode and RFID readers. In this last newsletter in the series, we will be briefly discussing how it all can fit together and some of the surrounding equipment IdentSystem can provide. As mentioned earlier we will discuss RFID tags in a separate newsletter next week from a more general perspective. Fitting a whole system together will naturally depend totally on your own individual processes and setup, we will now present one example of how it can tie together. A smaller delivery truck comes in with packages intended to be sent to the same destination. As they are offloaded, the Barcodes on each package is scanned and registered and sorted to a pallet intended for that destination. The pallet, when filled, is then coded as a separate item and when picked up by the forklift its barcode is read by a forklift mounted scanner. The tags data is sent to the WMS and in return the driver gets a destination point on his truck terminal, telling him which container he will offload the pallet in. When he reaches the container, its position is read by an onboard RFID scanner with an antenna mounted under the forklift. The RFID tag with location data is embedded in the warehouse concrete floor. When the pallet is offloaded in the container, the driver closes the work order and get informed where to pick up the next pallet. If however the location ID of the RFID tag read at the container is not the intended one, he will not be able to close the process and instead get an error message telling him to deliver the pallet to the right container. So now we arrived at the last section of this newsletter and will present the accessories Identsystem has for extending the usage of our readers in different ways. First out is the Master/Slave cable for EVS138 which allows two EVS138 barcode scanners to be connected to one Main unit. This can be done for two reasons: 1) letting them work as one wide range scanner and cover a wider area then is possible with only one scanner. For example on very wide forklifts. 2) letting them work in tandem where faults in reading cannot be allowed and compare the data read by each camera to confirm that correct data is read. Second is our EVS-SPC (Smart Protocol Converter), which in its basic setup is configured as a Serial data converter for RS232. It can convert from one baud rate to another, change stop bits, etc. We choose this to be a modular build so that other features could be installed on request. Such features are: Keyboard emulator, ZIOX host controller, Logic controller with built-in ID translation database – for example where you have to upgrade the tags in your system but the ID:s doesn’t match the values of the previous tags – the EVS-SPC reads in the data from the new tag and translates it to data used by old tags. On request, this EVS-SPC can be customized to match most of your needs.

Our recent newsletters has to a large part been focused on products and their implementations in the process industry, but they are also well suited for the logistics and warehousing industry. In the coming month, we will present a series of newsletters were we introduce our products in this sector, and how they can be implemented. 

We will start in this mail by our EVS138/144 series of barcode readers, and in the next mail we will discuss RFID reader, followed by accessory equipment and implementation services.

Our range of EVS138/144 barcode scanners are ideal for the transportation and logistics sector. Being rugged and robust with a wide reading area, they are suited for both stationary placements as well as mobile on for example a forklift. Our range cover models well suited for outdoor use in strong sunlight where many ordinary readers might have trouble reading the codes, we have also models equipped with LED spotlights for indoor readings in dark warehouses.

For larger reading ares on a wide forklift mount, two units can be Master/Slave coupled and together work as one wide angle reader, or with each reader working separately to fail proof the reading. For stationary use our readers could be placed by a conveyor belt, reading the codes as they pass by. With a wide reading range, our readers easily pics up codes as they pass by.

For special conditions with hight demands on barcodes robustness, our readers can handle barcodes cut out in metal sheets.

A typical use for our code readers would be for container- or pallet handling and identification, the interface is a standard RS-232 and integrate with most Warehouse management systems.

We can also help customers to a complete system covering handheld barcode reader solutions for portable use through our network of suppliers.

Barcode solutions for rugged environments.

For outdoor use, or in timber industry where the wood has to go into heated drying chambers, we can offer rugged barcodes that will not easily be damaged or faded.

With these barcodes we suggest using our EVS138 reader for outdoor use since it handles a wide range of weather conditions as well as strong sunlight.
Indoors in low light conditions, EVS144 is the recommended choice.

77LS07 is an RFID antenna for the LF (125kHz) band suited for IDeal125 and OIS-L systems. Its dimensions are only 46 x 30 x 10 mm and comes equipped with a 5 meter cable. Its weight is only 230 grams and its suggested to mount directly against metal using 2 x M3 screws.

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.

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.
