RFID has always delivered the twin 

conveniences of hands-free scanning with 

little or no human intervention. Now, 

Intermec has taken that to the next level 

by adding the convenience of mobility with 

the new IV7 Intellitag® Vehicle Mount RFID 

reader. The IV7 joins an award winning 

family of Intellitag readers that include 

several handheld and fixed mount form 

factors.

As Intermec’s first packaged forklift-

mounted RFID reader system, the IV7 

is designed for serial attachment to the 

Intermec® CV60 vehicle mount computer. 

Both are built to withstand the rigors of 

harsh, industrial environments and are 

sealed to IP65 ratings. The CV60, acting as 

the local host for the IV7, provides network 

management and security.  The built-in DC-

DC converter handles the noisy input power 

environment.

RFID standards are continuing to evolve, 

which requires manufacturers and retailers 

to have multi-protocol reading capability 

if they are implementing RFID in an open 

supply chain. When fully equipped, the IV7 

can read multiple air interface protocols, 

even in mixed populations of tags, 

including EPC UHF Generation 2 (Gen 2), ISO 

18000 6-b and EPC Class 1.

While portal mounted readers are capable 

of capturing pallet data and some carton 

data, the tagged items must be brought to 

the reader. Enterprises often need the 

flexibility to read RFID tags in certain and 

not-so-certain locations which may not 

be near the location of a fixed reader.  The 

Intellitag IV7 not only delivers the flexibility 

of “read where you need,” but also a cost 

advantage over portal reader systems 

wherever the number of dock doors is 

significantly larger than the number of fork 

trucks. 

Commercial and U.S. government supply 

chains will find the IV7 ideal for pick and 

put away applications. The CV60 can 

command the IV7, equipped with a location 

tag-sensing antenna, to scan for RFID tags 

when a pallet is picked up. The IV7 captures 

not only the location of the pallet pick up, 

but also through what doorway it passed, 

the path the forklift traveled and where the 

pallet will be placed.

The wireless capability of the CV60 

combined with the snappy reads of the 

IV7 mean that warehouse management 

systems are automatically updated with 

location status as the truck moves through 

tag-equipped zones, as well as with shelf 

location data when the pallet is dropped off 

or retrieved.

The IV7’s cast aluminum housing has 

built-in cable strain relief features, and 

with pre-drilled holes in the base plate, is 

designed for either U-bolt or flexible strap 

attachment to many makes of fork trucks. 

The IV7 can be mounted in any position 

on the vehicle within 3.5 m (10 ft.) of the
