CAEN RFID is a
privately owned Italian company, leading supplier of UHF RFID
readers and tags. The company was born recently as a spin-off of
CAEN S.p.A. (Costruzioni Apparecchiature Elettroniche Nucleari),
a world-leading company with 27 years of experience in electronics
for particle and nuclear physics. The longstanding experience
acquired with Physics and Aerospace experiments has been the
substrate on which the new developments on Radio Frequency systems
have begun. A totally internal expertise and know-how on Radio
Frequency electronics and related Software has allowed
CAEN RFID to become
rapidly a leading European company in manufacturing and
supplying UHF systems.
CAEN RFID UHF readers are the state-of-the-art for all vertical applications,
are fully compliant with the ETSI and FCC rules and EPC Gen2
protocol, are able to cover distances of 5-6m with on-metal passive
tags.
As an active participant of ETSI and EPCGlobal working groups,
CAEN RFID is committed
to provide customers with readers and tags that meet ISO/EPC
standards and ETSI/FCC requirements. Thanks to CAEN R&D skills,

The CAEN A939 Vehicle Mount RFID Interface is a
device that allows to identify and monitor the presence of a trailer
via UHF RFID. It is a box that requires a 9-36VDC input and allows
Bluetooth® class 2 / RS232 communications.
The A939 has an internal antenna that can be used
for on-board badge identification of the driver and a connector for
an external antenna. The external antenna can be mounted on the rear
of the cab, thus allowing to read UHF tags located on the trailer
surface up to 2m distance.
The A939 Vehicle Mount RFID Interface can be
coupled with Bluetooth® enabled mobile devices, thus providing
transfer of UHF RFID reading of tags via remote GPRS to a central
server. If the coupled mobile device has a GPS on board, the
complete system enables also geolocation and driver identification
throughout the complete trip.
Applications:
-
Identification of drivers, trailers and GPS position (geolocation)
via coupled Bluetooth® device;
-
Fleet management of trucks;
-
Short and long range access control;
-
Waste management via identification of waste
containers.
