Reltronics’ SmartInstrument Supports Active and Passive RFID Readers
Reltronics, a provider of Linux solutions has said that its SmartInstrument middleware solution now supports both active, passive, and mixed Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) readers. It also includes support for fixed and mobile RFID readers and integrated support for barcode readers, as per a statement issued by the company.
RFID detection technologies have involved both active (employing battery-powered RFID tags) and passive technologies. SmartInstrument is a middleware that resides between the RFID readers and the end-user applications interpreting messages from the readers and providing a common file or database for the end-user application to communicate with, the company explained.
"Automated RFID systems are increasing efficiencies and eliminating procedural and manual tasks, and are becoming more prevalent in the enterprise supply chain to comply with retail and government mandates," said Sanjay Ahuja, an RFID resident expert. "One way to make RFID systems more effective is to implement mixed RFID hardware technology which is the wave of the future for pallet-level and item-level detection. For example, we can utilise active technology for enclosed asset management and passive technology for pallet-level tagging. SmartInstrument makes the implementation easy since it takes the burden out of developing custom middleware solutions to support disparate readers."
SmartInstrument interprets representative RFID active or passive (including fixed, mobile, and barcode readers) operating at varied frequencies, employing remote diagnostics, interconverting communication protocols, and supporting key industry standards, the company said.
