IoT Needs Connectivity

Kathrein starts with the next generation of RFID systems! The requirements for modern identification systems are increasingly defined by ERP architectures. Compared to a large percentage of RFID systems which are equipped either with a serial or a proprietary port, today only a few percent are equipped with a slow and non-network-ready protocol. The reason lies in a constant need for optimisation and efficiency gains in a production and logistics environment. By Thomas Brunner, Head of Business Line IoT Solutions, KATHREIN Group
