U-CON / Typical Applications/ RFID Readers

Are you using RFID in your automation application yet? It is safe to say that adoption of RFID technology is not growing at the pace once expected but it is a technology that makes good business sense for many applications. RFID may be the most efficient and cost-effective way to: track raw materials throughout your facility, monitor equipment and tool usage for preventitive maintenance, trace production and assembly of complex products throughout the process, and improve safety as well as security in your automation environment. To further leverage the benefits of RFID, innovative engineers will connect their RFID solution to their control system. Kepware's User-Configurable Protocol Server can be the RS485 and TCP/IP enabled RFID driver for many brands of RFID readers. U-CON's proven OPC, DDE, and Native Interfaces make it easy to connect your RFID reader hardware to all the leading HMIs and control systems.
