Intermec has introduced the latest version of its vehicle-mount RFID reader, the IV7C.

The New York Stock Exchange-listed RFID technology developer claims IV7C is the only forklift RFID reader on the market that is EPCglobal certified compliant and interoperable.

EPCglobal, a joint venture between EAN International and Uniform Code Council, was established to achieve world-wide adoption and standardisation of electronic product code technology. A main focus is to create a global standard for RFID.

The IV7C, working with warehouse management software, can capture the location of a pallet pick, which doorway it passed, the path the forklift travelled and where the pallet will be placed.

The system was developed to meet physical and wireless demands in mobile, industrial environments, an Intermec statement said.

Intermec introduced the adaptable load backrest at ProMat 2007 in Chicago (Forkliftaction.com News #293).
