Shadow-detector-ambient-light-wThe SHADOW tag features a 96-bit EPC number, a 32-bit TID, and a password-protected Kill command. It is offered in a PCB format and is available in various sizes. It has a read range of up to 1.5 meters and operates in a temperature range of -22°F to +185°F (-30°C to +85°C). These light detector tags are available in various sizes and antenna designs depending on the application. They can be embedded in a variety of materials such as plastics or cement and can also include IP67 or IP68-rated protective housings for use in harsh environments. Evaluation kits are available.
Being a completely passive detector makes it ideal for areas with difficult or restricted access, or where battery use is not recommended. The SHADOW tag never requires battery replacement, thus saving on associated maintenance costs.
SHADOW tags are used in automation applications where the light exposure of tagged assets varies throughout the process. Monitoring these variations allows the user to program a series of procedures based on the process time/state and the detector data. These systems are typically integrated into sealed environments where light exposure is minimal or nonexistent. Light exposure indicates that an action is being performed or should be performed, depending on the specific application.
