SIMATIC RF360M - reliable, high-performance HF RFID handheld reader
Modern, powerful HF RFID reader for production, logistics and inventory applications. Ergonomic design, color touch display, long-life battery, high protection glass and extensive software functions make this rugged device very reliable and convenient for handling. The reader consists of two parts - RF160B basic device and RF360H HF head module available in versions with internal or for external antenna. It can be easily extended with UHF functionality by plugging the RF660H UHF head module. Android-based operation system allows creating your own applications.
Benefits:
- Compact design with changeable head modules
- Simple and flexible connection via integrated WLAN client
- Long battery life with the possibility to change
- Ingress protection or IP65
- Integrated 5 MP camera

Support of pharmaceutical Track & Trace systems
When producing valuable and cost-intensive pharmaceutical products, the building of an E-Pedigree is of central importance to avoid counterfeits and recalls as well as distribution and process errors.
SIMATIC RF300 enables the seamless tracking of all production and logistics processes.
Route control of Automated Guided Vehicles
Volatile markets make flexible production a key success factor in many industries. In this context, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) play an important role as mobile workpiece carriers.
SIMATIC RF300 makes it possible to control the travel path of AGVs and to determine individual positions.
Automotive powertrain – engine manufacturing
In the manufacturing of combustion engines, process reliability and product quality are top priorities – at the highest possible cycle rates. Important in this context: automated tool identification with RFID.
SIMATIC RF300 ensures maximum transparency in assembly - and thus seamless traceability and quality control.
Electric engine production in the automotive industry
In the automotive industry, the traceability of all quality-relevant materials and components must be guaranteed during the manufacture of electric motors.
With SIMATIC RF300, all production-relevant information can be stored on a workpiece carrier and read and written at individual workstations.
Painting lines (paintshop) in the automotive industry
In the paint shop, the clear identification of the car body is essential for its job-related coloring - under extremely demanding environmental conditions.
SIMATIC RF300 meets even the toughest requirements in paint shops - in terms of degree of protection, as well as chemical and temperature resistance.
Electric overhead monorail system in manufacturing
In many production plants, electric monorail systems are used to transport workpieces. Here, the workpieces are automatically identified and assigned for targeted production process control.
SIMATIC RF300 ensures that all relevant production and quality data is stored as well as dynamically read and written.
