UHF RFID by Kathrein Solutions: The Benchmark in Laundry Management
IoT Suite CrossTalk
KATHREIN Solutions

IoT Suite CrossTalk

IoT Software Integration Platform / Data Capturing

The CrossTalk IoT Suite ensures the efficient implementation of automated logistics processes. The AutoID technologies required for this, such as RFID or RTLS, are seamlessly integrated by CrossTalk into existing back-end systems (ERP) or implemented directly into new applications for the transparent control of material flows.

The modular approach of the software allows for the simple use of new IoT technologies in small goods or container cycles, up to the group-wide productive operation of the systems. Here, the cloud-enabled agent server concept helps with the seamless monitoring of all devices, as well as the many existing software modules, which can be quickly implemented through simple configuration settings. This allows material, goods or container flows to be visualized and controlled in real time.

Function Overview CrossTalk 3.4

With the latest version 3.4, CrossTalk has been enhanced with numerous new and improved features. Additionally, there are over 100 other new features/improvements for the application and stability of the software.

New UI

The web user interface has been further separated from the core of the software and has been given a new modern design. This further simplifies the use of the system for the user and customer-specific adjustments to the interface will be possible in the future.

License Management

With the new version, license management is simplified: There are now only read point-specific licenses for the Base and Full Platform. Newly purchased reading points are simply added to the license. All license purchases are clearly displayed in a new list. If the software is installed without licenses, a 90-day evaluation version is automatically available.

Automated Documentation

With the help of the new "System Documentation App", the entire installation of the software with all apps, configurations, parameters, and settings can be saved to a PDF at the touch of a button. This helps to document the status of a productive installation seamlessly and very easily.

ITS App

The "ITS App" is an important integration module for toll and parking solutions. The combination of RFID and intelligent camera solutions for vehicle identification at speeds of up to 220 km/h is thus greatly simplified. The highly secure UCODE DNA technology is supported, which prevents the counterfeiting of RFID transponders.

Android Support for CrossTalk Mobile

The CrossTalk mobile technology "Mobile Application Framework" was ported to Android. All of the applications already implemented also run in the Android version. As the new devices are usually launched with new hardware (drivers) and a modified screen resolution, adjustments to the applications are necessary.

Reader and Antenna Development at Kathrein Solutions

An Interview with Michael Kaiser Which technological developments are currently being focused on at Kathrein Solutions? Which solutions are being implemented and what does the customer feedback look like? What direct influence does the commissioning of the new antenna measurement chamber in Stephanskirchen in 2019 have on product and solution developments? The highlight of the current development: The upcoming re-design of the WiRa 30° Antenna in a new design and with highly optimized features. In addition, new RTLS algorithms are currently being worked on. The focus here is on exact real-time capture of up to 30 centimeters in area and on switching to heatmap mode. The challenge: To set up the system in such a way that exact capture takes place in one area while the RTLS transponder seamlessly switches to heatmap mode in another area! The solution should be available and ready for series production from 2021. Michael Kaiser, Director Product Management & Innovations, Kathrein Solutions in an interview with RFID & Wireless IoT Global.

UHF RFID by Kathrein Solutions: The Benchmark in Laundry Management

100 % transparent processes for clear cost structures, hygienic laundry provision and maximum employee satisfaction High-End Measuring Chamber for Precise Antenna Tests In autumn 2019, Kathrein Solutions installed a high-end measuring chamber at the Stephanskirchen site. Antenna systems are measured in the frequency range from 600 MHz to 8.5 GHz. The chamber measures all IoT radio standards such as RFID, LoRa, Wi-Fi and UWB RTLS, starting in the lower band of 400 MHz up to the ultra-wide band of 6 GHz. In-House Measuring Capacity Underlines Technological Innovation With the measuring chamber, comprehensive analyses necessary for development can be realized in the shortest time possible. Antennas with Kathrein KRAI functionality can be measured and evaluated automatically. Additionally, 3D measurements of UHF RFID transponders on load carriers, fenders and windshields are possible.

Nationwide Vehicle Identification with UHF RFID in Egypt

Largest RFID Vehicle Tracking System Worldwide by 2024 in Egypt! Over 100,000,000 inhabitants live in the metropolitan regions around Cairo, Alexandria, Giza, Schubra-al Chaima, Port Said, Suez, and Luxor. It is estimated that 20 million vehicles travel on a 45,000 kilometer road network in the Nile Valley and Nile Delta. The Egyptian Ministry of Interior wants to optimize traffic control, vehicle identification and automatic vehicle registration. For this purpose, the establishment of an RFID traffic infrastructure began in 2019 with Kathrein Solutions, a German technology partner for UHF RFID readers from Stephanskirchen. In an interview with RFID & Wireless IoT Global, Christian Schnebinger, Deputy Sales Officer at Kathrein Solutions, reports on the successful pilot phase and its the challenges.

All Pre-Series Vehicles Tracked with UWB-based RTLS

Process operations are visualized in real time, making control intervention possible, if required! The production of pre-series vehicles in the automotive industry represents the starting point for a new generation of vehicles. The location for these trials is the pre-series center. What exactly happens there? Technological innovations are tested. Just like in an experimental laboratory, all production processes are tested right up to the final start of series production. Component and production technologies are closely scrutinized. One of the main objectives of pre-series development is to ensure the economic efficiency of production. Preliminary considerations regarding purchase and logistics are, therefore, also part of the concept phase. In this planning phase, it becomes abundantly clear that the transparency of all results and decisions is the key to success and to the adherence of exact schedules.

An RTLS Ready For All Challenges

K-RTLS from Kathrein Solutions presents innovative features! Kathrein Solutions has developed an RTLS with high performance and numerous features for partners and customers. The RTLS, consisting of three components, enables users to achieve unprecedented transparency of business processes. Martin Dobler and Patrick Hartmann from Kathrein Solutions explain to RFID & Wireless IoT Global how users benefit from granular object information. “If customers want to use new infrastructures such as LPWAN or 5G in their applications, this implementation is possible. Our long-term vision is to be able to offer a transponder that can cover all use cases in this environment.”
