RFID-enabled Robotic Baggage Handling System

The LSCM R&D Centre has developed a multi-antenna for E-Business Solutions Limited (EBSL), a Hong Kong based IoT solution provider, for the RFID-enabled robotic baggage handling system. The newly designed antenna consists of multiple antenna units. Each unit has an independent feeding port. The placement and geometry of all the antenna units have been optimized, so as to deliver a reading zone of a 16-inch diameter. The multi-antenna can be fabricated with the popular printed-circuit-board process and is compatible with LSCM's lightweight RFID reader.

The RFID-enabled robotic baggage handling system not only can minimize the need for heavy lifting by operators in the baggage handling environment, but also can provide precise information about the destination of baggage and reduce the processing time. The integration of the new multi-antenna will enable the adoption of the RFID-enabled robotic baggage handling system, which will increase the productivity of various industries, such as airport and ocean terminals.

Two-Piece Passive UHF Detachable RFID Tag for both Near Field & Far Field Detection Applications

Star Systems International Ltd is a leading system integrator specialized in providing passive UHF RFID transponders, readers, solutions and consulting services for vehicle identification systems. STAR Systems licensed the design of LSCM’s passive UHF detachable RFID tag in 2016, and modified, customized and adopted it to its new product named “Pulsar” which is recently released to market.

This innovative product uses 2-piece construction of antenna design and is packaged in a card format. The reading distance is just a few centimeters with the UHF RFID card itself but when it is inserted in the card holder with its embedded special antenna design, the reading distance will be boosted for long-range applications.

The product is perfect for deployment in Electronic-Tolling (ETC), Electronic Vehicle Registration (EVR), HOT/HOV Lane Tolling, Self-Declare Tolling/Express Lanes and Secure Parking and Access Control, or other applications requiring a 2-piece unit.
