RFID has always delivered the twin
conveniences of hands-free scanning with
little or no human intervention. Now,
Intermec has taken that to the next level
by adding the convenience of mobility with
the new IV7 Intellitag® Vehicle Mount RFID
reader. The IV7 joins an award winning
family of Intellitag readers that include
several handheld and fixed mount form
factors.
As Intermec’s first packaged forklift-
mounted RFID reader system, the IV7
is designed for serial attachment to the
Intermec® CV60 vehicle mount computer.
Both are built to withstand the rigors of
harsh, industrial environments and are
sealed to IP65 ratings. The CV60, acting as
the local host for the IV7, provides network
management and security. The built-in DC-
DC converter handles the noisy input power
environment.
RFID standards are continuing to evolve,
which requires manufacturers and retailers
to have multi-protocol reading capability
if they are implementing RFID in an open
supply chain. When fully equipped, the IV7
can read multiple air interface protocols,
even in mixed populations of tags,
including EPC UHF Generation 2 (Gen 2), ISO
18000 6-b and EPC Class 1.
While portal mounted readers are capable
of capturing pallet data and some carton
data, the tagged items must be brought to
the reader. Enterprises often need the
flexibility to read RFID tags in certain and
not-so-certain locations which may not
be near the location of a fixed reader. The
Intellitag IV7 not only delivers the flexibility
of “read where you need,” but also a cost
advantage over portal reader systems
wherever the number of dock doors is
significantly larger than the number of fork
trucks.
Commercial and U.S. government supply
chains will find the IV7 ideal for pick and
put away applications. The CV60 can
command the IV7, equipped with a location
tag-sensing antenna, to scan for RFID tags
when a pallet is picked up. The IV7 captures
not only the location of the pallet pick up,
but also through what doorway it passed,
the path the forklift traveled and where the
pallet will be placed.
The wireless capability of the CV60
combined with the snappy reads of the
IV7 mean that warehouse management
systems are automatically updated with
location status as the truck moves through
tag-equipped zones, as well as with shelf
location data when the pallet is dropped o
or retrieved.
The IV7’s cast aluminum housing has
built-in cable strain relief features, and
with pre-drilled holes in the base plate, is
designed for either U-bolt or flexible strap
attachment to many makes of fork trucks.
The IV7 can be mounted in any position
on the vehicle within 3.5 m (10 ft.) of the
