The more employees you have in the company, the more difficult it becomes to get a clear overview of who did what and when. Many companies in the meat and food industry have now introduced automatic badge systems for time recording, access control or billing at the coffee machine. This is almost always based on an RFID chip. And we can implement this for you in the controller system of your facility. You get complete access control and traceability without your employees having to learn anything new.
RFID stands for “Radio Frequency Identification” and is a technologythat allows objects to be identified and tracked wirelessly. It uses small RFIDtags or chips that can store information. These tags receive signals from anRFID reader and send data back by using the energy they receive to generate aradio signal. The reader picks up this signal and can read the information onthe tag without the need for direct line of sight or physical contact. Thistechnology is used in many areas, for example for tracking goods in logistics,access control or contactless payment systems.
RFID chips, which are already used for door access, can now also be used to operate systems. This enables seamless integration into everyday working life and reduces the need for additional access devices.
The use of RFID technology enables precise data collection. This is particularly important in industrial processes, as it allows changes to be tracked and documented in real time. Seamless tracking ensures transparent control of processes. Did someone shorten the program at 16:55 to go home? Who acknowledged and rectified the error? Who raised the temperature? These and many other questions can be answered.
Managing access rights is often a complex task. RFID systems simplify this process considerably. Rights are assigned and changed centrally and can be flexibly adapted to organizational requirements. There are nine different rights levels that can be individually adapted. This allows the technology to perform single and multi-relay tests. The quality assurance department can carry out a sensor adjustment and production employees can start or stop programs and change current recipes at short notice.
Simple management using RFID chips enables a high degree of flexibility in the assignment of rights. New chips/badges can be easily added or deactivated. If an employee changes department, rights can be taken with them. Or they can be blocked if they leave the company. Logins with RFID are also much faster than logins with laborious entry of user name and password.
The use of RFID technology not only increases efficiency, but also security. Precise control over access rights minimizes the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive areas and systems.
Overall, the integration of RFID systems is useful for optimizing processes and increasing safety in food processing. The flexible management of chips and access rights enables adaptation to changing requirements and makes RFID technology a key element for the future of controller technology.
