Cisper is positioned to continue its ten-year success story

How times have changed. “Ten years ago, any use case involving ten RFID readers seemed large scale to us. Today, we supply hundreds of devices for individual applications. Large Auto ID projects now regularly involve up to a thousand readers,” Leon de Ridder recalls. In an interview with “RFID & Wireless IoT Global“, the Managing Director of Cisper explains how the Dutch Auto ID company became one of the leading distributors for RFID technology worldwide.

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.

OPC-UA-Integration of AutoID-Devices towards “Industry 4.0”

Within the last two years OPC Foundation and AIM-D e.V. created the AIM OPCF AutoID companion specification in the AIM working group “System Integration” with the aim to integrate AutoID devices into the OPC UA world. A first version of the paper was presented at the Hanover Industrial Fair 2015. At the Hanover Industrial Fair 2016 the updated Version 1.0 was presented – including the description of first prototypes and applications as well as incorporating the cloud-capacity of AutoID systems and sensor networks which become more and more important for the concept of industry 4.0.
