Fully integrated radio frequency identification, RFID, system from Harting

The system offers a high degree of flexibility to simplify the implementation of scalable solutions in different application

sectors.


The new system combines rugged, high-performance RFID readers with powerful

data pre-processing to ensure high-speed data transmission and optimum

dynamic network performance. Overall control is provided by the Ha-VIS RFID

Suite, an efficient software solution that allows the scaling of RFID

solutions from individual readers through to enterprise-wide solutions

across different locations.


As an aid to integration of the RFID transponding functions, all the readers

provide UHF and HF technology as standard features. Their rugged design and

construction allow them to be used in a wide range of industrial

environments, including mounting on metal surfaces.


The Ha-VIS RFID Suite administers the interfaces to the RFID reading devices

and printers, as well as to barcode readers, sensors and controllers. The

suite is based on the .NETplatform and offers service-oriented architecture

in which an optional number of company applications can draw on the

processed data.


Ha-VIS RFID is designed to reduce the data flow in an organisation's

Ethernet network, and enables real-time response to RFID event data. In

addition, advanced administration and security modules help to minimise

downtime and reduce the overall operating cost of the RFID solution.


The processed RFID data can be conveniently integrated into all company

solutions, because the 'plug & play' architecture of the Ha-VIS RFID Suite

has been designed to support all the relevant current hardware, standards

and protocols. The easy integration of new hardware or new standards into

the architecture of the Ha-VIS RFID Suite ensures that companies are able to

exploit the greatest possible benefits of their RFID investments and creates

long-term investment security.


Developers and system integrators will benefit from the tool set provided,

as well as from central network administration and user-friendly interfaces

that translate into convenient and rapid development and maintenance of

high-performance RFID solutions.
