Abstract
An RFID system includes an RFID antenna assembly configured to be positioned on a product module assembly of a processing system. The product module assembly is configured to releasably engage at least one product container. A first RFID tag assembly configured to be positioned on the at least one product container. The at least one product container is configured to position the first RFID tag assembly within a detection zone of the RFID antenna assembly whenever the product module assembly releasably engages the at least one product container.
Claims8
An RFID antenna assembly configured to be energized with a carrier signal, the RFID antenna assembly comprising:
- an inductive component;
- at least one capacitive component coupled to the inductive component;
- and
- at least one resistive component coupled to the inductive component;
- wherein the inductive component is configured to be positioned above a first slot assembly to detect the presence of a first RFID tag assembly within the first slot assembly and not detect the presence of a second RFID tag assembly within a second slot assembly that is adjacent to the first slot assembly.
