Machine Authentication for the Smart Factory
A customized solution for every requirement
Depending on the size of the company or the products manufactured and the machines used for this purpose, a company must solve different challenges with a system for machine authentication.
High resistance in industrial environments
Another advantage of an RFID solution for machine authentication is that RFID cards and readers are extremely resistant to dust, heat, dirt and general wear and tear. In factories where environmental conditions are particularly harsh, they ensure that machines can be enabled for operation without interference.
In addition, machine authentication via RFID provides a high level of transparency in production: production managers always have an overview of who is using machines and systems and to what extent. In this way, optimization potential can be identified and exploited.
A customized solution for every requirement
Manufacturing companies cannot be lumped together. Depending on the size of the company or the products manufactured and the machines used for this purpose, a company must solve different challenges with a system for machine authentication. In addition, changes are the order of the day – for example, due to new processes or manufacturing methods.
Solution providers such as Elatec specialize in developing and implementing a total solution for their customers that is tailored to their exact requirements while offering maximum flexibility – for example, by easily extending it to include applications such as access to lockers or kiosks as well as the management of the company fleet.
