The HERMOS RFID rack for semiconductor factories offers the possibility to equip lattice racks with RFID functionality. This solution is applicable for all common shelf types and sizes and allows retrofitting of existing WIP shelves. The antenna heads are mounted directly on the shelf and connected to a central RFID reader unit. The occupancy of a shelf location is detected by an integrated light sensor and an identification is performed automatically. Visualization at the shelf locations is provided by a multicolor LED or an e-ink display. The shelf status and stock changes can be displayed on a panel PC.
