Product Overview
AngleID is a completely new way of doing accurate long-range
zone detection and tracking, using R ID. The AngleID reader
detects ultra-wideband pulses from tags to precisely determine
the angle between a tag and reader and locates the tag in up
to eight different 3D zones simultaneously, reporting entry and
exit events from each zone to a connected control system.
AngleID has a number of uses in many industries including
manufacturing, logistics and transportation such as forklift and
AGV tracking, dock door management and wireless tool
management on production lines. You can control multiple
devices by using a single AngleID reader.
About this Guide
This guide explains how to set up your AngleID reader and
configure the detection zone for a tag. This guide assumes that
you are familiar with operating and connecting computer
systems and networks.
