User Example: Automated Bale Management System

Allow farmers to track the bale during the harvest is an essential task during the harvest. iDTRONIC’s UHF RFID systems can help the hay producers to more efficiently manage their production, warehouse and logistic processes.

During the harvest the bale will be equipped with an RFID chip and can be tracked throughout the complete process. After baling the farmer can easily scan the RFID transponder with a vehicle mounted RFID reader which is connected via CANBus directly to the electronic system of the tractor. There are two main RFID readers at iDTRONIC available which are suitable for this application.

1. BLUEBOX UHF cylindrical reader with a reading range of up to 40cm. It is specially designed for narrow mounting position close by the RFID transponder.

2. BLUEBOX UHF CX  controllers with internal or external antennas and reading ranges of up to 10m. It specially designed to identify a wider range of transponders. In the option with 2 antenna outputs, you can mount it in the middle of your vehicle and place an antenna on the front site and back site to identify the tags,

Using either one of the RFID readers, the producer will be able to send the RFID data combined with the weight, moisture, time and GPS locations to their data center for further processing.
