Portfolio
- Hardware: The Kathrein UHF passive RFID hardware portfolio comprises first-class stationary and mobile readers, UHF antennas with a read range of a few centimetres up to several metres, and security transponders.
- Software: The Kathrein “CrossTalk” application software integrates any kind of AutoID, RTLS, or sensor device into IT applications and IoT platforms. The modular CrossTalk suite therefore reduces complexity through standardization and many pre-configured features, visualization, and business content.
- Service & Support: Kathrein offers a wide portfolio of blueprinting, implementation, rollout, and maintenance & support services, as well as project management and training courses.
RFID & Wireless IoT Solutions from Kathrein Solutions
RFID & Wireless IoT for the Construction Industry, Warehouse Logistics, Automotive Industry and Maintenance RFID & Wireless IoT Global and Kathrein Solutions present an overview of four application cases. First, the use of passive UHF RFID tags for the identification and monitoring of a railroad fleet and the rail network. Second, the transparent RFID-controlled vehicle tracking in the production facilities at Audi. Third, the digital supply chain in the factory of the future of a Stuttgart car manufacturer. Fourth, the dual-chip transponder, in cooperation with PERI, for contactless data acquisition in the construction industry.
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.

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.
