IoT needs connectivity

The requirements for modern identification systems are increasingly defined by ERP architectures. Compared to a large percentage of RFID systems being equipped either with a serial or proprietary port, only a few percent are equipped with a slow and not network-ready protocol today. The reason lies in a constant need for optimisation and efficiency gains in a production and logistics environment.

Based on the strong demand for AutoID systems and solutions that are directly integrated into vital planning and production control systems, Kathrein is fully orienting its product strategy towards the TCP/IP standard. The focus in developing the next reader generation, therefore, was no longer limited to excellent reading performance, processing power and ease-of-use, but put on a comprehensive and scaleable connectivity of systems via PoE+, WLAN or 3G mobile networks. The combination of industrial PCs – that have once again increased in performance – with powerful and flexible IoT software platforms enable an efficient integration of business processes into an existing IT infrastructure.
