Featuring an embedded RFID reader and integrated antenna, the SmartRoller conveyor roller is simple, clean, and easy to maintain and replace.
Instead of using custom brackets and modification of equipment to accommodate RFID reading in conveyor systems, the unit includes bearing end caps and spring-loaded hex shaft mounting pegs to seamlessly replace one existing roller.
The antenna and controller constantly communicate with at least one transponder moving along the interrogation path, sending a consistent stream of data. The roller’s functionality resolves packaging problems with RFID tracking in a conveyor system.
