UHF band RFID beam variable antenna [controls detection area]

Pikou Electronics completed the relocation of its headquarters factory from the Tsunashima factory to Shin-Yoshida Higashi in Kohoku Ward, Yokohama City, in December 2017. The new building was constructed with the aim of achieving a sustainable society by introducing high-efficiency air conditioning and lighting systems, solar power generation facilities, and utilizing high-insulation materials to promote energy conservation, with the goal of achieving ZEB (Net Zero Energy Building) status. In January 2018, it received the highest rank of five stars in the Building Energy Efficiency Performance Labeling System (BELS) and obtained the "ZEB Ready" certification. Additionally, a third-party evaluation based on the Building Energy Efficiency Performance Labeling System (BELS) recognized that it has performance equivalent to ★5 (0.6≧BEI). We aim to develop and sell antennas that contribute to saving wired communication resources through wireless communication, sell antennas for smart meters that are effective in reducing power consumption, and develop and sell RFID antennas and their peripheral devices that enhance logistics efficiency. Furthermore, we will promote the efficiency of internal operations and activities to improve product quality, striving to reduce waste and conserve resources by lowering the defect rate within processes.

We have released an active phased array antenna that can vary the beam radiation direction in three directions based on external signals. By switching the radiation area, it is possible to respond only to specific areas. This allows it to be utilized as an RFID gate with fewer misreads. When used as a shoplifting prevention gate, it can be set up so that customers with RFID tags approaching the gate do not trigger an alert, thereby reducing stress caused by misidentification.
