Deister Electronics

Last updated

Deister Electronic is the name generally used to refer to Deister Electronic GmbH Barsinghausen, Germany, and its subsidiaries in North America. Deister Electronic is an industrial enterprise specialised on electronic non-contact identification and security systems founded in 1977. [1] In North America, the companies are Deister Electronics USA, Inc. of Manassas, VA, and Deister Electronics, Inc. of Ontario, Canada.

Deister Electronic develops, manufactures and distributes mechatronic equipment and systems for access control, protection, security and identification including the corresponding IT solutions[ buzzword ] and provides the installation and customer services. [2] The enterprise takes a very active part in the development for instance in the research of Ultra high frequency technologies as partner of the University of Applied Sciences Fachhochschule Hannover. [3] A recent development is the metallic and textile UHF transponder. [4]

Market

For years, the application of such technologies is consistently growing and so is the market for its products and services. [5] This development began in the early 1990. Already in this stage, Deister Electronic was among the 20 relevant players on the international level. [6] Today, the branch is distinguished by an extraordinary growth of most diversified solutions[ buzzword ] and services, by an environment of brisk innovative activities and a focus on export. [7] A typical example is the implementation of the Deister Electronic key management and control access system in the Centre for Technology and Development of Renault. 700 enterprises in 43 countries are members of Association of Automatic Identification and Mobility AIM Global, amongst them several institutes of the Fraunhofer Society, Canon Production Printing, Siemens and Deister Electronic. [8]

Technology

The variety of RFID application components comprises interrogators (also readers), tags (also labels), integrated circuits (also chips), antennas, transponders, converters, processors and the corresponding software system solutions.[ buzzword ] Their purpose is to detect and identify persons, vehicles, goods, keys and valuables automatically and without physical contact, in same cases biometrically, to capture information about them, to control their access and guide their further way. Deister Electronic systems are based upon the technology of electromagnetic waves, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), biometrics and Bluetooth technology. They operate within the range from long waves to ultra high frequency, that is up to three Gigahertz (GHz). Recent innovations are mini readers in computer mice, metallic and textile ultra high frequence transponder. [9]

Background

Some aspects of the security and control technologies are unleash skepticism, critic and discussion, so for instance, unknown risks for organisms by electromagnetic radiation [10] or possible perturbation of the functioning of medical equipment by RFID labels. [11] Moreover, there are politically motivated reservations, anxieties and mistrust against a prevailing and illegitimated observation and control.

Enterprise

The head office and development centre of Deister Electronic is situated in the small town of Barsinghausen southwest of Hanover in Germany. Deister Electronic dates back from an outsourcing project of three graduates of the University of Hannover in 1977. The US and Canadian companies were established in the 1980s and have been run independently and successfully for over 20 years. In our days, this technological enterprise with a total staff of 240 employees, branches overseas – especially in the USA and Canada – as well as in Europe – especially France and United Kingdom – belongs to the typical German export orientated business.

In telecommunications, a transponder is a device that, upon receiving a signal, emits a different signal in response. The term is a blend of transmitter and responder.

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. An RFID system consists of a tiny radio transponder called a tag, a radio receiver, and a transmitter. When triggered by an electromagnetic interrogation pulse from a nearby RFID reader device, the tag transmits digital data, usually an identifying inventory number, back to the reader. This number can be used to track inventory goods.

As of late 2003, the EZ TAG can also be used on all lanes of tolled roadways in Texas that accommodate electronic toll collection.

Automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) refers to the methods of automatically identifying objects, collecting data about them, and entering them directly into computer systems, without human involvement. Technologies typically considered as part of AIDC include QR codes, bar codes, radio frequency identification (RFID), biometrics, magnetic stripes, optical character recognition (OCR), smart cards, and voice recognition. AIDC is also commonly referred to as "Automatic Identification", "Auto-ID" and "Automatic Data Capture".

Transponder timing is a technique for measuring performance in sport events. A transponder working on a radio-frequency identification (RFID) basis is attached to the athlete and emits a unique code that is detected by radio receivers located at the strategic points in an event.

Smart Label, also called Smart Tag, is an extremely flat configured transponder under a conventional print-coded label, which includes chip, antenna and bonding wires as a so-called inlay. The labels, made of paper, fabric or plastics, are prepared as a paper roll with the inlays laminated between the rolled carrier and the label media for use in specially-designed printer units.

LDMOS is a planar double-diffused MOSFET used in amplifiers, including microwave power amplifiers, RF power amplifiers and audio power amplifiers. These transistors are often fabricated on p/p+ silicon epitaxial layers. The fabrication of LDMOS devices mostly involves various ion-implantation and subsequent annealing cycles. As an example, the drift region of this power MOSFET is fabricated using up to three ion implantation sequences in order to achieve the appropriate doping profile needed to withstand high electric fields.

Real-time locating systems (RTLS), also known as real-time tracking systems, are used to automatically identify and track the location of objects or people in real time, usually within a building or other contained area. Wireless RTLS tags are attached to objects or worn by people, and in most RTLS, fixed reference points receive wireless signals from tags to determine their location. Examples of real-time locating systems include tracking automobiles through an assembly line, locating pallets of merchandise in a warehouse, or finding medical equipment in a hospital.

RFID on metal are radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags which perform a specific function when attached to metal objects. The ROM tags overcome some of the problems traditional RFID tags suffer when near metal, such as detuning and reflecting of the RFID signal, which can cause poor tag read range, phantom reads, or no read signal at all.

CISC Semiconductor GmbH defines itself as “a design and consulting service company for industries developing embedded microelectronic systems with extremely short Time-To-Market cycles.” The company started in 1999, working in the semiconductor industry, but soon expanded its field towards the automotive branch and further extended business towards the radio frequency technology (RFID) sector in 2003. Since then, CISC gained significant experience and expertise in RFID, developing an own business segment and highly sensitive measurement equipment to test and verify RFID systems for different industries. Representatives of CISC Semiconductor are actively working on and contributing to worldwide standardization of future technologies like RFID, in different standardization organizations.
