RF IDeas' pcProx® Plus Readers Eliminate Manual Login on Rockwell Automation® Human-Machine Interfaces to Increase Workflow EfficiencyROLLING MEADOWS, Ill. --(Business Wire)-- Addressing the ever-increasing demand to save time on the production floor, RF IDeas Inc., announced today its pcProx Plus readers designed specifically to interface with the Rockwell Automation (News - Alert) PanelViewTM Plus human-machine interface (HMI) to automate the login process. The leading innovator and manufacturer of authentication and in-building identification, RF IDeas collaborated with Rockwell to optimize workflow by partnering its pcProx Plus readers with the PanelView Plus terminals or Logix-based controllers for operator identification. "The Rockwell Automations Encompass™ Product Referencing program has enabled significant opportunity for the RF IDeas product team to collaborate and develop a reader that meets the need of the Rockwell Automation end users," says Rick Landuyt, President of RF IDeas. "This solution leverages existing employee badge systems and eliminates the need to manually login on the terminals." Throughout the day, valuable time is saved during the login process by avoiding typing errors and re-entry by simply waving or tapping a badge to the reader. Additionally, security configurations can be modified in the FactoryTalk® View Machine Edition application at design-time as well as runtime. Key Highlights
