When you want positional data for a forklift or similar in the loading dock or factory floor to ensure that the load is taken from the right place, or loaded at the correct container a good idea is to use our floor tag. The floor tag is part of a 125 kHz LF system and designed to be embedded in the floor – out of the way. All that is needed is to drill a small (ca 20mm) hole, drop in the tag and refill the hole.
An LF system is ideal in this case, it both reduces the risk of signals bouncing against the surrounding metal and the risk of reading a neighboring tag instead. We typically install our Ideal125 LF reader in the truck, connected to the trucks terminal wich forward the positional data to the WMS, etc. The antenna is then mounted under the forklift.
As a complement to this positional system. our EVS144 series of code readers can be mounted on the front of the forklift, to id the load and fed back this info to the WMS together with positional data to ensure that the right goods end up in the right position.
Please contact us for more information.
One of our most recent request from a customer was to help them update their old Baumer OIS-L readers whish was beginning to show their age. The update was complicated by the fact that the Tag Data needed to be translated by a resolver database in real-time to positional data for the Cimat AVG:s that were and integrated part of their system. Part of this was also the need to send a tag-in-field signal to their PLC when a tag was in the antenna field for reading.
We solved this by adapting our previous Protocol Converter, make it modular and develop modules where a resolver database, as well as tag-in-field functionality, could be added.

The MPC is a further development and merge of our ZIOX host unit and Protocol converter. Following customers needs, it evolved and “MPC” now stands for Modular Protocol Converter – making it possible to add desired functions to the base unit, and thereby simplify the development of customer-specific requests. There are for example a complete keyboard emulator as well as a Tag-In-Field circuit that will send a signal as soon as a tag is within reading distance of an RFID antenna.
The basic MPC still keep the basic functions:

In our newsletters, we always tell you about our existing and coming products and solutions, but seldom about ourselves and the background of Ident System AB.
We now thought it was time to change that, and here is a short history of the company and our corse products.
It all started by the end of the 1980s when Saab-Automation developed analog CCD cameras in addition to barcode scanners and tag readers for industrial use within various applications. These cameras were commonly used in the wood processing and automobile industries. Even microwave-based RFID technology was found in the product portfolio.
In 1990 Saab Automation was acquired by Swiss Baumer and the company in Sweden become Baumer Ident AB. Baumer further developed these cameras and invested much effort into widening their original RFID portfolio with additional systems, mainly 125kHz but also UHF based products.
During the 2000s, Baumer Ident AB was sold to Identec Solutions AG who moved the business to Austria.
In 2010 former employees of Baumer and Saab decided to develop a new generation of digital cameras based on previous experience and know-how, unveiling a whole new range of digital cameras was ready by the autumn of 2013. To sell, market and develop the new product the company Ident System AB was registered at that same time and EVS138 and EVS144 were introduced and reached huge success within the paper industry. During 2016 Ident System AB launched the EVS144 Imager – a unique product for the market.
Parallel to this, a replacement that is fully compatible with Baumer/Identecs RFID system OIS-L has been developed and during 2015 a new UHF reader was launched.
In 2017 Identsystem started cooperation with Dobot regarding sales and distribution of robotic arms for education, hobby, test, and the smaller industry.
Many involved throughout the years are partners in the company today. This has ensured that the product knowledge, development, and expertise for RFID and code readers have been kept in a unique way enabling the ability to develop completely new products.
Most of the summer is over and we hope you have had a good rest. Here at Ident System, we are already looking forward to an exciting autumn and winter and we wanted to share some of what will happen with you.
Office in Hong Kong
We have been busy in Hong Kong this summer setting up a presence and will now begin the real work of introducing IdentSystem in APAC region. We know that there are many Baumer units that are getting to the stage where they need replacement, and our Barcode and RFID readers are the easiest way to do this. If you know you have sites in Asia, do not hesitate to contact us and we can present our products to them directly.
Updated Pan/Tilt unit for EVS144
To accommodate those with a need of a more compact pan/tilt unit for the EVS144, we are now introducing a smaller, more modern version as a complement to the older model. The Older model will not be replaced, but kept in stock for those of our customers that already are using that model – or new customers that want it.
New RFID product areas – Tags and UHF readers
In our efforts to fulfill our customers’ system needs, we will also start to build a network of suppliers for UHF RFID readers, and antennas. More information later on, if you already have specific needs, please contact us.
We will also start keeping some more specialized tags on stock, as well as improving our range of suppliers and tags for both LF as UHF.
Product category – Volume scanning
We already sent out a newsletter before summer about the new product category in static and dynamic volume scanning where packets and pallets can be automatically measured and weighed, with date communicated to pc or WMS. During autumn we will gradually send out more information about the alternatives.
| IdentSystems newsletter will now take a summer break until August, we hope that you will have a nice summer vacation until then and take this opportunity to remind our Swedish customers about our summer offer on Honda robotic lawnmowers to help you relax in the shade. |

For us at IdentSystem AB 2018 was an eventful year with several large projects over Europe. We also introduced our Tambour ID system for the papermill market as well as several new products such as the ZIOX Host Controller for seamless communication between our products and older Baumer systems, ATU and ATC134 Antenna Tuning Unit and Antenna Tuning Controller for 134.5 systems, On the optical reader side we have introduced a new Pan/Tilt unit in out EVS144 Range and the possibility for Master/Slave connections for larger reading area.
In 2019 we plan to continue developing out international website www.identsystem.com and also continue to add a wider range of our industrial optical and RFID readers to our Nordic Webshop at www.identsystem.se. We will also focus on continued development of new products and systems extensions of our current range.
In our efforts to be a full-spectrum partner for your automatic identification services needs, Ident System AB tries to provide everything you need from pre-purchase analysis and consulting, to installation and following support needs.
We take full responsibility for our products and systems by providing the level of support you requite during the whole implementation process as well as ongoing service and support to ensure your problem-free operation.
