sttID, scemtec Transponder Technology extends the HF Long-Range Reader portfolio by the SIL-2300-MUX8. The  SIL-2300-MUX8  operates at 13.56 MHz with a maximum RF power of 5 W per antenna output. By standard interfaces such as USB ports, Ethernet and RS232 the SIL-2300-MUX8 can be easily integrated into an existing IT systems and  intelligently interconnected in regards to Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things.

The HF Long-Range Reader allows a connection of up to eight antennas with full power output per antenna. This reduces the setup complexity and will increase cost-effectiveness as only one reader will control multiple reading locations. Excellent and constant reading performance at every single antenna will enhance quality further. The SIL-2300-MUX8 supports the protocols ISO15693 and ISO18000-3 Mode3 in order to realize applications in rental textile logistics, Casino- and Library Management or production control.

The SIL-2300-MUX8 comes with a channel separation per antenna output. Each antenna output works independently thus the reader can be used for real-time tracking of inventory items in shelves and cabinet detection. Specially in hospitals and libraries the SIL-2300-MUX8 supports the entire inventory recording minimizing the counting and audit work done by the staff.

A simple and fast software integration of the read / write device is supported by means of the proven "smart read" functionality. An application-specific individual and independent reading mode can be developed. With a corresponding configuration, the SIL-2300-MUX8 works as a "stand-alone" device and can take over the management of UID numbers in RFID shelves and RFID cabinets.
