Using RFID to Eliminate Errors in Chemical-Testing Devices

Published: February 20, 2013

Hach Lange supplies instruments and chemistry to analyze the quality of drinking water, wastewater and industrial water applications. The chemistry is supplied in pre-filled test tubes carrying a bar code, which is read by the instruments to determine which calculation has to be performed on the measurement data. To meet the highest analytical standards, the instruments must be updated regularly with the calibration factors necessary to perform the calculations. In the past, the instruments had to be updated by downloading the latest version of software from the Internet, and by updating the instruments via USB, which was time-consuming for customers. In this session, learn how the firm is utilizing a solution that enables its chemical-testing devices to automatically import calibration data from a cartridge via RFID.
