Mining project deploys Idesco vehicle ID reader
Oulu, Finland
Idesco’s EPC products are notable for the greater distance at which they can interrogate passive tags. By operating in the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) range these readers are able to reliably read tags from distances of up to 15 metres, making them an excellent choice for a variety of vehicle and person identification as well as numerous logistics applications.
Idesco EPC readers are robustly designed to reliably read a tag inside the windshield of a moving vehicle while deployed outdoors in the most inclement conditions. However, these are only some of the distinctive features of the product family. Some models possess anti-collision, an ability enabling them to detect several tags simultaneously and remember them. Another feature some models offer is the flexible expansion or shrinking of its detection zone by adjusting the reader’s broadcast power. A number of the models accommodate two antennas that effectively function as two separate readers, providing an ideal solution for applications detecting vehicles moving in opposite directions within a single detection zone.
