KW2D series smart RFID increases tracking, security, access levels, and productivity of applications. Built for easy integration into industrial systems with Modbus TCP and EtherNet/IP communications, this RFID device lets OEM and end users implement secure equipment identification, access control, and traceability. It is designed for easy installation into typical 22mm panel-mount holes used with machinery and can be readily integrated with automation systems, enabling users to easily apply advanced authentication and authorization measures.
Some commercial and industrial equipment needs constant interaction from employees to load and unload materials and parts. Even highly automated machines and systems require occasional attention from operators, maintenance technicians, and supervisors. In these hard-working environments, what is the best way to ensure people are performing these tasks most effectively? Smart RFID systems enable efficient operations.

RFID authentication devices on OEM machinery ensure the proper users are taking permitted actions, providing performance benefits and improved safety. Automated equipment and machinery can incorporate many ways for users to monitor and control operation, such as with buttons, switches, and touchscreens. When original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) design and build their machinery, they want to deliver easy-to-use functionality. However, they must carefully balance this desire with the need to verify authorized users are at the controls and making acceptable selections.
Security has become a critical factor in an ever-widening number of applications. But with the variety of choices available, which is right for your specific needs. This article will cover the benefits and drawbacks of several different security methods being used today.
Using the proper security devices in industrial settings for machines and other equipment is a critical factor in providing levels of engagement with highly sensitive operations. Industries already interested in such security include machine tools, material handling, injection molding, food and beverage, automotive and aerospace, and packaging.
Have Question? We are here to help.
Yes. This can be done by using the default authorization levels. All IDEC tags are color coded and come with default authorization levels.
IDEC offers color-coded fob or card style RFID tags which are easy to carry and withstand the elements.
Each tag carries a unique ID, which is readily associated with the specific worker or a user category to provide access control at varying levels.
The KW2D operates at standard 13.56 MHz high-frequency (Type A, F or V) standard.
Between the IDEC tags/fobs and the RFID reader, there is extra encrypted message exchange that provides additional security.
If you have an application where tag copying is a big concern – we strongly suggest to use our KW2D and our tags. Our IDEC tag has an extra level of password encryption with a special bit to determine if the tag is an authentic IDEC tag or not. It gives us a lot of security over and above a typical RFID tag that you buy on the market.
The IDEC tag is passive, meaning it is lightweight and does not require batteries.
No, IDEC also support 3rd party tags or badges. Users can mix-and-match various RFID tag regardless of the shapes, as long as the tags are operating at 13.56 MHz (Type A, V or F) standards.
It installs into typical 22mm panel-mount holes right along with other switches, buttons, and lights.
Yes. We support Modbus TCP Server, EtherNet/IP Adapter, CC-Link IE Field Basic Slave.
