HF | NFC – Permanently installed readers for secure data capture
An HF | NFC - RFID stationary reader is a permanently installed RFID reader operating at 13.56 MHz that detects transponders according to international standards such as ISO 15693, ISO 14443 A/B, and the NFC Forum specifications. It is permanently mounted at access points, vending machines, time attendance terminals and enables short to medium reading ranges for contactless identification, data capture, and process control – ideal for access control, production lines, kiosks, libraries, healthcare, ticketing, and membership management. Thanks to its robust design and diverse interfaces, HF - RFID stationary readers can be seamlessly integrated into IT and automation environments. Typical connections include Ethernet (optional PoE), USB, RS-232/485, CANbus or MODBUS interfaces, as well as digital I/Os for triggers/relays. Features such as anti-collision for multi-tag detection, configurable reading modes, LED/buzzer feedback, device management (e.g., firmware update, logging) and support for secure authentication/encryption mechanisms – depending on the transponder type – ensure high performance and operational reliability.
Key features of HF | NFC - RFID Stationary Reader
The stationary HF | NFC - RFID reader operates at 13.56 MHz and supports the ISO 15693 and ISO 14443 A/B standards, as well as NFC Forum profiles. Its robust industrial housing allows for fixed panel, wall, or DIN mounting and enables reliable multi-tag reading through anti-collision technology. The device offers flexible connectivity via Ethernet (optional PoE), USB, RS-232/RS-485, CANbus, MODBUS and GPIO/relay. Reading modes such as UID/AFI filters, block read/write and NDEF are freely configurable. For secure applications, MIFARE Classic/Plus/DesFire, NTAG and ICODE are supported. Integration is achieved via ASCII/hex protocol or HID keyboard wedge. Optional integration via REST or MQTT is also available. The readers are designed for industrial use cases and achieves up to IP67 protection ratings, depending on the model.
Use cases: membership management, access control and vending machines
Stationary HF | NFC - RFID Reader can be used in applications such as library management, access control, single sign on, time attendance, kiosk & ticketing systems, membership management or healthcare applications.
Installation and Integration Manual
The installation of the HF | NFC stationary reader is particularly easy thanks to its versatile interfaces: USB, Ethernet (optional PoE), and serial and bus connections such as RS-232, RS-485, CANbus or MODBUS interface. Data output can be flexibly customized – as an HID keypad, ASCII/Hex, or via optional REST/MQTT/Modbus APIs – making it ideally suited to any application. An OS-independent command protocol simplifies integration into proprietary systems; SDKs and examples for Windows and Linux accelerate the setup process. The 13.56 MHz HF/NFC reader is ready for operation in just a few steps and integrates seamlessly into industrial, retail, healthcare, and kiosk environments.
Advantages of stationary reading devices
Stationary RFID/NFC readers (HF 13.56 MHz, ISO 14443/15693) offer consistent read quality in specifically defined zones. They also increase throughput and process reliability while reducing errors and overall costs. Their robust 24/7 design and easy integration via Ethernet/PoE, USB, and RS-232/RS-485 make them ideal for industrial automation, access control, retail/POS, libraries, and asset tracking. Multi-tag capture and centralized management enable real-time visibility and seamless traceability. The solution is scalable for IoT and Industry 4.0.
