Recognizing the signs of the future –Using MOBY identification and localization systems

Users working with identification systems all have their own personal require-

ments. Some people are looking for favorably-priced Smart Labels for logistics,

others for rugged transponders for assembly lines. In the automobile industry,

this transponder must be especially resistant to heat and when it comes to

transport control and logistics or to the localization of objects, it is essential to have

"long range" transponder systems.

MOBY UMOBY V

MOBY identification systems not only fulfill the widest range of challenges for an

extremely broad range of sectors. When compared to conventional identification

systems, this system family offers wide ranging benefits. Important data

accompanies a product/object from the very beginning. The contactless data

transfer ensures that they can stand-up to the rigors of industrial environments. Not

only this, a uniform system integration guarantees a simple and rapid integration in

the application, which saves time and costs.

Components which are harmonized with

one another

MOBY essentially comprises the following

individual components which are perfectly

harmonized with one another:

• Mobile transponders (MDS)

• Read/Write units (SLG/SIM)

• Interface modules (ASM)

Important data from the very beginning

MOBY identification systems ensure that

important data accompanies a product or

object right from the very beginning. The

transponders (MDS or tag/mobile data

memory) are located on the products,

product carrier, object or its transport or

packaging unit. Data is written into this

device contactlessly. This means that all data,

which is specific to the application, is located

in the transponder. It does not make any

difference as to whether it involves body

parts in the automobile industry, order

picking boxes in a warehouse, assembly

lines or quality data in the production

environment. A maximum of 32 kbytes of

data can be saved, and when required,

individually read and supplemented at the

various work or production stations. This

means that the material and data flow are

optimally synchronized with one another.

MOBY offers various transponders utilizing a

wide range of technologies (fixed code,

EEPROM or FRAM/SRAM) and geometrical

versions. Their strength is not only the high

data security and integrity, but also the

excellent, high degree of protection with

respect to ambient conditions such as

contamination, temperature fluctuations,

water used for cleaning and mechanical shock.

Contactless data transfer ruggedized for

industry

High-performance read/write units (SLG/SIM)

in various rugged packaging types ensure

fast and secure data transfer between the

transponders and higher-level systems (PLC,

PC, ...). Data and energy* are inductively

transferred using electromagnetic and radio

control field from the particular read/write

unit. This principle allows contactless data

transfer and guarantees that the systems are

admirably suited for industrial environments.

They function reliably in dirty environments

and with non-metallic materials. The devices

can be used on-the-fly whereby the data

memory, depending on the configuration,

can move past the read/write unit with

transverse velocities of up to 20 m/sec.

Various test mechanisms (data monitoring,

CRC, ECC, ...) guarantee error-free data

transfer, even under extreme environmental

conditions. The read/write unit is directly

connected to an ASM, to a PC or any other

systems through a serial connection (located

up to 1000 m away).

Uniform system integration

The interface module (ASM) ensures that the

MOBY identification systems can be inte-

grated into SIMATIC®, SINUMERIK®, connected

to PROFIBUS, TCP/IP*, PC and to any other

system. Once they have been supplied with

the appropriate parameters and data, they

automatically handle the data transfer with

the transponders. The appropriate results

and data are then made available.

The appropriate software modules (FB/FC for

SIMATIC, C libraries for PC with Windows)

ensure simple and fast integration into the

particular application.

The mobile handheld terminal (STG)

The identification systems are supplemented

by various handheld terminals for mobile

applications. These battery-powered termi-

nals ensure an even higher degree of

flexibility in the various applications. All of

the transponders of the associated MOBY

identification systems can be directly and

contactlessly read and written into through

the integrated, inductive interface.

The positive additional effect

Computers and Communication supplies

are disengaged with MOBY-faults in the

communication system cannot cause any

problems. Production can continue using

the data stored at the product.

Commissioning can be done very quickly

because part areas or lines can be pretested

without having the whole plant in operation.

The MOBY transponder has a number ofadvantages when compared with other in-formation systems, for example barcodes:

• MOBY identification systems identifyobjects completely automatically, quicklyand with 100% data transfer integrity

• MOBY transponders can always bere-used

• They are insensitive to temperaturefluctuations and contamination, forinstance, oil, dust, water

• Up to 32 Kbytes of production and qualitydata can be directly stored on or at theproduct

• MOBY devices have a long service life andare convincing thanks to their optimumcost/performance ratio

MOBY DMOBY FMOBY E

Time is money –MOBY for warehouses, logistics and distribution

The new MOBY D (ISO 15693) and the well-proven MOBY F and E systems are the

perfect identification systems for the warehouses, logistics and distribution. For

many years now, they have been successfully used in numerous applications in the

widest range of sectors. This is especially in the areas of shipping warehouses

including order picking ("brown goods", foodstuff, tires, etc.), deep-freeze

warehouses (including order picking), container identification, goods carrier

identification (e.g. KLT), distribution and loading control with electronic delivery

note - and many additional applications.

Availabletransponders ofMOBY D / F / E

MOBY manages your processes

The high-performance MOBY RF identi-

fication systems solve any task quickly and

with sovereignty no matter how complex.

Contrary to conventional barcode systems,

they not only identify and read, but

manage the logistical operations using

re-writable electronic transponders/smart

labels. This means that your product has

what can be considered to be an electronic

accompanying goods note which allows you

or your customers to immediately access all

the required information – at any time and

everywhere, contactlessly and fully auto-

matically. But the best is yet to come – when

required, you can even identify several

transponders simultaneously and selectively

process the data. This functions reliably

through wood, plastic, paper, non-metallic

materials and even through contamination.

MOBY can be perfectly integrated

MOBY identification systems function ac-

cording to the well-proven principle of the

transponder/smart label in conjunction with

high performance read/write units. They can

be perfectly integrated into SIMATIC®,

PROFIBUS® and a PC.

Mobile and flexible using handheld

terminals

The mobile handheld terminal which is

available for MOBY identification systems

provides you with an even higher degree of

flexibility. Data from the transponders/ smart

labels can be contactlessly read-in or

modified – and that locally. The mobile hand-

held terminal can function as data collection

point or can be coupled to the host through

radio/infrared link. You can also realize you

own mask menus using the optional C library.

Customer Specific Smart Labels/Antennas

We are developing economical Smart Labels/

Transponders for high-volume applications,

which are tailormade for your requirements.

When needed we can supply you with an

antenna (e.g. Gate-antenna) which will met

your specific applications.

Establish new markets with favorably-priced Smart Labels

• Part identification systems for textiles(e.g. hired working clothes, OP Textiles)in laundry companies

• Identification systems for load carriers,containers, small packing boxes, parts ofwindows and furniture etc. in the logisticschain

• Part identification systems for clothingindustry (e.g. shirts, jeans, supportstockings) in production and in shipping.

• Distribution of products in opendistribution chains
