Intermec Adds the IV7C to Its Family of Forklift Products

Intermec (www.intermec.com) has introduced the latest version of its vehicle mount RFID reader, the IV7C, which is a rugged RFID tag reader designed to read RFID tags anywhere within reach of a forklift. The IV7C claims to be the only forklift RFID reader on the market that is both EPCglobal certified compliant and interoperable.

The IV7C reader is built around a new and powerful RFID radio core that has received top marks in critical performance benchmarks. ODIN technologies rated the radio as best-in-class for its dense reader mode, read rates, and receive sensitivity. It can be configured to read multiple air interface protocols, even in mixed populations of tags including EPC UHF Gen 2 and ISO 18000-6b and 6c. It is both ETSI and FCC certified and RoHS compliant ensuring global use.

In conjunction with warehouse management software, the IV7C can capture the doorway through which the pallet passed, the path the forklift traveled, and where the pallet will be placed. When used with the CV30 vehicle mount computer, the system automatically updates warehouse management systems with product location status as the forklift moves through tag-equipped zones, as well as with shelf location data when pallets are dropped off or retrieved.
