Fuel cells are used for emergency power supply to critical infrastructures in areas ranging from information technology and telecommunications to mining. To ensure their functionality in cases of emergency, they require regular maintenance. Schreiner LogiData has developed a turnkey system for easy identification and checking of power suppliers.
Full service from a single source: Schreiner LogiData has developed an RFID turnkey package for Rittal, a leading systems supplier of enclosure and electronic packaging technology.
In addition to transponders for permanent identification of fuel cells, it contains software enabling flexible read/write functionalities of the data storage media. The program is suitable for a wide range of RFID readers. A user-friendly input mask greatly facilitates handling.
The solution works like this: A number-the electronic nameplate-is stored on the RFID transponders. It serves to clearly identify the fuel cells. When a service technician reads the electronic nameplate he gains access to key information stored on the tag, including model, serial number, hard- and software level of the fuel cell, runtime at delivery as well as the production date. A history of previously performed repairs and regular maintenance jobs is stored on the transponder as well and can be read directly at the unit. To prevent tampering with the system, even service personnel cannot alter key data.
