Networking identification systems at field level
'IdentChain' is a platform from Leuze with which identification systems can be networked at field level.
It controls a network of identification systems and sensors for track-and-trace requirements in production and in the supply chain. Secure communication between 1D scanners or 2D camera systems takes place at edge level using OPC UA and full integration of the AutoID Companion Specification. Each object to be identified is not only represented by its code, but is also mapped on a virtual tag in the edge system. Additional process, status and sensor information can then be assigned to the virtual tag. This data is available in real time across all processes. Data exchange is synchronized across network boundaries. Several security mechanisms are integrated for secure communication.
