RFID and antenna engineering
The Right Read Zone
Custom solutions start with the RFID. We'll ask basic questions like "What do you want to track", "What are the dimensions?", "Where on the asset do you want the tag", etc.
This helps guide the design of the tag, antenna, and reader where we look at:
- Antenna geometry — shapes and sizes for your enclosure.
- Reader selection — hardware matched to the tag, distance requirements, and installation.
- Placement — account for tag position and nearby materials.
Mechanical Design
Built to Fit Your Equipment
We design housings, fixtures, and mounting around the available space, the equipment, and the people using it.
- Form — shape the enclosure for the equipment and the people using it.
- Fit — work within the space, mounting points, and clearances available.
- Function — keep the read zone stable and the hardware working in the field.
Electrical Design
Electronics for the Application
Reader hardware, cabling, and communication need to work together. We design the electronics around your installation and the control system that needs the result.
- Hardware — custom PCBs and reader electronics built into the equipment.
- Connectors — connectors and wire harnessing sized to the installation.
- Protocols — compatible with PROFINET, EtherCAT, and other industrial fieldbus standards.
Software Development
RFID Software and System Integration
We build software that connects the hardware to records, workflows, and reports, with the data path scoped around your needs.
- Hardware connections — bring IDs and measurements into the workflow.
- Records and reports — run reports on throughput, location history, and asset utilization.
- APIs and integration — connect reads to your asset management software and existing systems.
