Flex Engine Technology

Flex Engine technology platform allows you to configure your LineMaster to do specific tasks based on your needs. The following engines are available for the LineMaster L10/H10 series. Simply select the LineMaster based on frequency and maximum RF power requirements and then select the appropriate engine for your specific task at hand.

Encoding Engine

The Encoding Engine is the fastest and most affordable solution for programming RFID tags. The Encoding Engine generates serialized data to encode RFID tags based on content of the counter in the memory of the LineMaster. The Encoding Engine will attempt to write to the RFID tag based on trigger inputs provided by an external event. Upon success or failure of the write action, the Encoding engine can be programmed to provide separate output triggers. The Encoding Engine can be programmed through a network interface and connected to a web service to obtain serial number data and/or transmit the write data. The Encoding Engine can also control the movement of products in a conveyor belt setup based on success of failure of the write function.

Sorter Engine

The Sorter Engine main application is segregation of products based on content of their barcode or RFID data. Sorter Engine triggers outputs by comparing RFID/barcode data with a user defined template. In addition The Sorter Engine is designed not only to control the movement of products based on configurable filter templates, but also it can connect to a web service to obtain the instructions as data collection from barcode and RFID tags becomes available. Sorter Engine in conjunction with Web Services enables the users to transmit data to the back end systems and effectively control the movement of products in a conveyor belt setup.

Sort Based on Filter Template

Comparing the collection of data from RFID and barcode with user definable filter templates will enable the Sorter Engine to trigger different outputs.

Sort Based on Related Data

In cases where Sorting decisions can not be made locally, Sorter Engine will invoke web service function calls in XML format to the back end systems. Upon the response from the back end system, Sorter Engine will provide the appropriate trigger output.

Router Engine

Router Engine sends collected barcode and RFID data along with other parameters to user's back end systems by invoking web service function calls. Collecting data from barcode and RFID is controlled by input triggers. In the case where no data is collected, upon an incoming trigger, the Router engine can be programmed to activate outputs.
