SICK Shrinks UHF RFID Read/Writing
with Smallest Industrial Device
S
ICK has launched the smallest
industrial UHF RFID read/write
device of its kind, the RFU610,
creating new opportunities to integrate
RFID track and trace capability in
automated machines and mobile vehicles
across production, materials handling,
and logistics environments.

Almost half the size of SICK’s next-level,
mid-range RFU620 reader, the RFU610
needs an installation space of just 80 x
92 x 38 mm and achieves an impressive
scanning range of ≤ 0.5metres.
The SICK RFU610 is ideal for short-
range auto-ident applications such as
tracking of smaller parts, sub-assemblies
and electronic components, materials
handling in e-Kanban processes,
automating validation of correct tool
set-up on industrial machines, as well as
monitoring consignment transfers onto
smaller Automated Guided Vehicles and
Carts.
