Crosstalk update brings automated documentation
With version 3.4, Kathrein Solutions is once again launching an update of the IoT suite Crosstalk with new improved functions.
The Crosstalk IoT suite is used to manage AutoID systems in productive operation, among other things. The robust and modular software integrates all common RFID devices and RTLS systems. Standardized IT interfaces such as the SOAP/REST, MQTT, EPCIS or OPC/UA web services can be used directly "out of the box".
The web user interface has now been further separated from the core of the software and has been given a new design. This further simplifies the use of the system for the user and makes it possible to make customer-specific adjustments to the interface more quickly. The new version also simplifies license management. There are now only reading point-specific licenses for the Base and Full platforms. Newly purchased reading points are simply added. All license purchases are displayed in a new list. If the software is installed without productive licenses, a 90-day evaluation version is automatically available.
Automated documentation
With the new "System Documentation App", the entire installation of the software with all apps, configurations, parameters and settings can be saved to a PDF at the touch of a button. This helps to document the status of a productive installation completely and very easily.
For the ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) market segment, which includes toll and parking solutions, for example, an integration module is also available in the form of the ITS app. This simplifies the combination of RFID and intelligent camera solutions for vehicle identification. Kathrein also supports UCODE DNA technology, which prevents RFID transponders from being counterfeited and can be read at speeds of up to 220 kilometers per hour.
Most recently, the Crosstalk mobile technology "Mobile Application Framework" was ported to Android. All applications already implemented also run in the Android version. As the new devices usually come onto the market with new hardware (drivers) and a different screen resolution, minor adjustments to the applications are required, according to the company. as
