Easy Engineering: Which are the most significant projects in the history of the company?

iDTRONIC: Supplying RFID embedded readers to an PoC device manufacturer. This innovative PoC combines a small, portable Instrument; microfluidic Test Strip; simple, standardized workflow; and seamless, secure digital connectivity to the Cloud and hospital IT systems. The device replaces multiple point of care systems with a single Platform, increasing efficiency through reduced training, equipment, maintenance and test supplies. Integrates several technologies and sample types into a single Instrument, allowing for a continued development of a broad test menu across conditions diagnosed and managed in community-based healthcare settings. We supplied well over 150.000 embedded modules to this manufacturer. The device helped during the Covid time to identify covid infections via rapid PCR tests (fastest PCR test on the market)

E.E: What projects were the most challenging?

iDTRONIC: Most challenging projects are projects with customized products where a limited space is needed, but on the other hand pretty challenging reading ranges are required.

Our set up software allows the customer to switch even to dedicated output formats and address specific memory banks on the transponders. The devices are available with a wide variety of interfaces such as TTL – UART, USB (VCP, HID or PC/SC), CANBUS, RS232 / 484 or ETHERNET
