My first blog!

Hi there. Today I wanted to briefly mention a new RFID application we are working on at Ramp RFID Solutions (www.ramp.com.au). As a reseller and integrator for Identec Solutions, we are using the IQ32T response tags - with an external temperature sensor - in the forming of pre-cast concrete. Basically the tags are placed on top of the pre-cast mould and the readers request the temperature every few seconds. We will use an embedded PC which is connected to the reader via a serial to ethernet converter. Our IQ software then filters the reads and generates an output, in this case a Modbus TCP output, for the PLC to pick up. Neat and simple yet effective!
Thats all for now!
