New models extend
versatility of
Harting’s family of
UHF RFID readers
Harting has expanded its Ha-VIS
family of UHF RFID readers with the
addition of two new devices that offer
higher levels of versatility, enabling
individual project requirements to be
met even more efficiently and flexibly.
The two additional RFID readers
combine the performance and
versatility of Harting’s existing
Ha-VIS RF-R300 family with the
processing power and standards
compatibility of the company’s MICA
open computing platform.
The Ha-VIS RF-R310 is the first
reader available on the market
which meets the functionality of the
Companion Specification for AutoID
devices. This specification forms the
basis for the simple and efficient
integration of AutoID devices based
on OPC UA – the communication
layer for Integrated Industry projects.
This know-how has also been
incorporated into Harting’s other new
UHF RFID reader, the Ha-VIS RF-R350.
The Ha-VIS RF-R350 features ALE1.1-
based middleware which is optimised
for the MICA platform. Here, the
complete data pre-processing of raw
RFID data takes place in a standards
based manner. Communication with
the reader simply takes place via web
services, http, TCP or, if desired, via
UDP telegrams.
