What are OEM Embedded Reader Solutions?
Our embedded OEM solutions are built on the same trusted authentication WAVE ID® technology that flawlessly integrates into existing OEM devices and secures logical access to essential manufacturing and healthcare equipment. These readers eliminate password vulnerabilities – improving safety and user experience – and add value to the devices they protect. When it comes to enhancing the security of devices like infusion pumps or Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), look to rf IDEAS for trusted authentication solutions.
Why Consider an Embedded Reader?
OEM embedded readers empower your end customers to ensure only intended users have access to specialized equipment. When machines contain sensitive data, or can only be used by safety-certified employees, maintaining safe identity and access management is crucial to regulatory compliance and on-site safety.
Our readers offer unprecedented compatibility and hidden security, so you can feel confident embedding them into any device. rf IDEAS' experts have intimate knowledge of your customer base, so we can collaborate to find the best solution that adds the value of built-in authentication to your product. On the end customer's side, seamless equipment integration allows for intuitive, secure access that saves significant time – making it easier for them to do their job while maintaining compliance.
