The Solution
The Lyngsoe RFID Conveyor Reader is a compact, non-intrusive solution for high-accuracy identification of RFID-tagged items directly on moving conveyors.
A single, top-mounted antenna installed above the conveyor captures item IDs in real time as goods pass through—delivering a continuous stream of RFID data without the need for tunnels, shielding, or complex configuration.
Ideal for warehouses, distribution centers, and airport logistics, the Lyngsoe RFID Conveyor Reader provides a cost-efficient way to strengthen process control, enhance traceability, and minimize manual handling—supporting reliable, continuous tracking and validation in critical operations.
Simplified RFID Visibility for Conveyor-Based Operations
The Lyngsoe RFID Conveyor Reader features a configurable data capture solution that can be easily adapted to a wide range of use cases through simple adjustment of run-time parameters, data formats, and filter settings—eliminating the need for complex and costly reprogramming.
Simply mount the antenna above the conveyor, configure the settings, and generate real-time business events tailored to your processes and delivered in your preferred format.
Why It Matters
The Lyngsoe RFID Conveyor Reader addresses the need for real-time verification across conveyor-based logistics flows by enabling:
- Real-time visibility: Capture item movements instantly without manual scanning.
- Stronger process control: Validate key handover points such as loading, unloading, and dispatch.
- Fewer errors and exceptions: Detect missing, misrouted, or unexpected items early.
- Improved traceability: Create a reliable digital record of operational flows.
- Scalable RFID adoption: Start simple and expand to higher levels of control as needed.
Simple and Cost-Efficient Implementation
Designed for fast deployment and low total cost of ownership, the Lyngsoe RFID Conveyor Reader can be implemented with minimal infrastructure and configuration effort:
- No tunnels or shielding required: Minimal mechanical footprint and easy integration.
- Fast installation: Mount above the conveyor and go live quickly.
- Low infrastructure cost: Single-antenna approach reduces hardware complexity.
- No reprogramming needed: Adapt through configuration of parameters, filters, and data formats.
- eamless integration: Outputs business events in standard formats for WCS/WMS/IT systems or in formats directly compatible with fixed industrial scanning solutions.
Performance Highlights
Under typical operating conditions, the solution delivers reliable, high-speed performance:
| Parameter: | Performance: |
| Belt speed (max) | 350 ft/min |
| Item separation (minimum) | 0 |
| Read rate performance | > 99.9% |
*) Performance can be further optimized through application-specific system tuning
System Components
The Lyngsoe RFID Conveyor Reader is built on industry-proven, best-in-class components designed for consistent and reliable performance:
- High-performance RFID reader: Powered by Zebra Technologies for consistent and reliable tag capture.
- Simple RFID antenna configuration:Single antenna (top-mounted). Single, top-mounted antenna providing non-intrusive data capture on existing conveyor lines—quick to install and cost-efficient to deploy.
- Photosensor (optional): Enables precise item detection and read triggering.
Software
The embedded Lyngsoe RFID Conveyor Reader software is designed for real-time performance and ease of use:
- Embedded RFID middleware: Configurable middleware with interrogation, filtering, suppression, and validation capabilities.
- Flexible triggering options: Supports both free-run and triggered operating modes.
- Cross-read suppression: Ensures that only tags associated with the target item are captured, eliminating interference from nearby items.
- Real-time singulation: Intelligent tag matching for accurate identification in triggered scenarios.
- Simple configuration interface: Intuitive setup of run-time parameters, decoding logic, and data communication formats (e.g., ERP/WMS and fixed scanner integration).
Interfaces
The system integrates seamlessly with existing IT and automation environments:
- ERP / WMS interface: Sends verified RFID data to business systems.
- Fixed industrial scanner interface: Integrates with and delivers RFID data directly to scanner systems.
- PLC interface: Supports communication with conveyor and machine control systems.
- Supported protocols: MQTT, OPC UA, TCP/IP, EPCIS, JSON.
Triggers
- Photosensor: Automatically detects items and initiates RFID reading.
- TCP/IP: Enables real-time read-on-demand functionality via network communication.
