A new testing device for RFID performance factors of Conveyor belt system

摘要

Combining with RFID technology, Conveyor plays a very important role in modern industrial automation. However, RFID performance will be affected by many factors in conveyor application. In this paper, we build a new experimental device to test RFID performance factors of conveyor belt, the innovative aspects of our new experimental device are we adopt automated guided vehicle (AGV) instead of traditional real conveyor belt. It makes the test become more convenient and comprehensive. Meanwhile, we provide serial important and indispensable test cases based on our new experimental device, the methodology and test data of these test cases are discussed. Our new experimental device can be put into practical application without making complex changes on the existing production line.
