Cobalt HFTM
Escort Memory Systems has launched the Cobalt HFTM family of RFID solutions for industrial control. The company has more than 60,000 installations worldwide to its credit. The Cobalt HFTM family is easy to deploy and maintain. It offers agnostic connectivity, which means connectivity with industrial Ethernet and serial connections. This attribute facilitates connectivity with the different host systems that the solution may come across in the field.
The solution is intended to support complex automated RFID-enabled WIP systems in industries as diverse as pharmaceutical, electronics, food processing, etc. It uses C-Macro programming which enables the point-of-use to access the intelligence. The C-Macros enable better management of traffic overload and foster high speed local decision making. Local actions like diverters and alarms can be initiated inside 100 milliseconds by means of HUB communication modules. One HUB can connect up to four read points to high speed Ethernet; a GATEWAY provides high speed Ethernet access to up to sixteen read points. ccmsectorinvest.com reports:
Unlike other developing RFID standards such as EPCglobal UHF standards, the HF standards (ISO 15693 and 14443A) have been in use for several years and have the track record of stability essential for meeting ROI goals of complex automation projects.
