This is a case study of troubles related to reading IC tags with RFID readers in the HF band (13.56 MHz) and their solutions.

• RFID/IC tags

When a reader-writer (antenna) comes close to metal, communication performance (distance, area) may decrease. This is especially true when there is metal behind the antenna, as it is most affected by the metal. Therefore, we have created a video that explains the impact of metal proximity on the antenna and the countermeasures, and we are now releasing it.

• RFID/IC tags

When multiple antennas are installed in close proximity and operated simultaneously, communication with RF tags may be disrupted by the magnetic fields radiated from other antennas, leading to a decrease in communication performance. This phenomenon is referred to as mutual interference of antennas. We have created a video explaining the effects of mutual interference of antennas, and we will be releasing it.

• RFID/IC tags

When multiple antennas are installed in close proximity, they can couple through electromagnetic induction, which may lead to reading data from RF tags on another antenna. This phenomenon is referred to as antenna coupling. We have created a video explaining the effects of antenna coupling, and we will be releasing it.

• RFID/IC tags

When developing applications that use RFID readers and writers, it is necessary to implement processes to control the reader/writer. TR3-SDKV2 and UTR-SDKV1 are software development kits (SDKs) for controlling Takaya's readers and writers. The SDKs include DLLs (Dynamic Link Libraries) and sample programs, making it easier to develop applications for the readers and writers. The series of readers and writers targeted by each SDK is as follows: TR3-SDKV2: HF band products "TR3 series," "TR3XM series," "TR3X series" UTR-SDKV1: UHF band products "UTR series" We have created and published a video explaining the overview of the SDK, programming procedures using DLLs, and sample programs.

• Warehouse Management System (WMS)

This is a management system for tracking items using IC tags. It reliably records the history of borrowing and returning items, preventing omissions and errors in ledger entries, and supports the early detection of forgotten returns and losses. Additionally, it enables efficient inventory checks through bulk reading with RFID handheld devices. Common issues that arise in traditional borrowing management tasks include: ♦ Handwriting or Excel input into the ledger The process of entering information into the ledger or Excel during borrowing and returning is cumbersome, leading to discrepancies due to entry errors. ♦ Individual confirmation during inventory checks It is necessary to take items out of boxes or shelves one by one for confirmation, which consumes a significant amount of time for inventory tasks. ♦ Management through ledgers Due to management with paper or Excel ledgers, it is not possible to detect unreturned items or losses early and respond quickly. This system addresses these challenges.

The electronic circuit board that serves as the basis for controlling electronic devices is one of the important components used in a wide range of fields. The "Flying Probe Tester" is an inspection machine that quickly and reliably detects various defects that occur during the manufacturing of this board. Takaya Corporation developed and began selling the "Flying Probe Tester" in 1987. It is a pioneering presence in the assembly board inspection machine industry, boasting a top-class share in the market even today. 【Features of the Flying Probe Tester】 ■ Measurement system capable of detecting various component defects ■ Ultra-fast and accurate probe contact control ■ Utilizes unique vertical probes to significantly expand the inspection area ■ Equipped with an interface compatible with smart factory applications ■ Unique clamping mechanism that can accommodate special-shaped boards ■ Function test capabilities with expandability ■ AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) function included ■ +α A diverse lineup and options that can accommodate large boards If you are interested in the flying probe type in-circuit tester or are facing issues with electrical testing of assembly boards, please feel free to contact us.

• Measurement and Inspection

In-circuit testing with flying probe testers excels at inspecting the electrical characteristics of implemented electronic components in analog circuits. However, components that cannot be probed make electrical testing difficult, and functional testing of digital circuits is challenging. On the other hand, boundary scan testing allows for quick interconnection testing between LSI pins and on-board programming for FPGAs, but it can only test digital circuits around ICs that comply with the boundary scan standard, and it also requires dedicated fixtures for connections. At Takaya Corporation, we possess technology that uses flying probes instead of fixtures that connect 4 to 5 scan-compatible pins and measuring instruments required for boundary scan testing. This allows for boundary scan testing even when the counterpart of a boundary scan-compliant IC is a non-boundary scan-compliant IC or passive components (such as connectors), by enabling the flying probe to function as a virtual boundary scan cell. With a single flying probe tester, it is possible to conduct comprehensive testing of both digital and analog circuits, thereby significantly enhancing testing efficiency compared to before.
