Because the separate reader brings its own enclosure, its own power adapter and a USB cable between the two devices — three things to mount, cable and support at every station. The UTC-S1062C has the reader inside the panel: one cutout, one power feed, one device. On a line with dozens of workstations that is the difference between one installation and two, and it removes the cable that is usually the first thing to come loose in a production hall.

It works at 13.56 MHz with both IC (MIFARE®) and ID (EM) cards — the type is chosen per project — at a typical reading distance of 0~60 mm. The reader is powered from the panel at 3.3V~5V, standard 5V. Tell us which badge the site already issues and the reader is configured for it.

They read the same cards at the same distance and differ in how the ID reaches your software. RS232 is the choice when a PLC or embedded controller reads the tag data directly from the serial buffer — no operating system involved, no driver. USB HID is the choice for Windows or Linux applications: the reader behaves as a keyboard, so the badge ID is typed into whatever field has focus, without installing anything. Many MES integrations use USB HID for exactly that reason.

Stations where a person has to be identified before work starts: operator authentication and access control (badge in, role-based permissions), work-order verification (scan the order before the batch runs), production traceability and compliance (operator ID, timestamp and process step recorded for food and pharmaceutical audits), workpiece identification in garment and discrete manufacturing, and MES data collection points at incoming inspection, assembly, QC and packing.

Four platforms in the same enclosure and the same I/O layout: Celeron J1900 (4 cores, 10W, 4~8GB DDR3L), Celeron J6412 (4 cores, 10W, 4~8GB DDR4), 10th Gen Core i3/i5/i7 (4~32GB DDR4) and 12th Gen Core i3-1215U / i5-1235U / i7-1250U (up to 10 cores, 8~32GB DDR5, two M.2 SSDs). BlockCore™ means the compute board can be changed later without touching the panel, the reader or the cutout — so one 10-inch workstation standard can be rolled out with different compute per station.

It is the modular architecture that separates the compute board from the RFID-enabled display assembly. Two practical effects: a CPU upgrade is a board swap, not a new panel — the reader, the 10-inch touchscreen and the cutout stay as they are; and the same i-Core compute board is used in the standard (non-RFID) panel PCs, so a mixed fleet of RFID and non-RFID stations shares one spare-part number.

SafeCore™ is CESIPC’s power-loss protection. It guards the operating system against file corruption when power is cut abruptly — shutdowns for shift changes or lockout/tagout are the usual cause — and with auto power-on after power recovery the panel comes back by itself. For an RFID station that is what keeps the authentication records and the traceability log intact.

Yes. The reader sits behind the same IP65 front panel as the display, so the whole face can be wiped down and there is no separate reader window to seal or clean around. The touch surface is 6H hardness and the panel accepts 10-point projected-capacitive touch, with resistive touch available when operators work in gloves.

The chassis is 258.3 (W) × 182.2 (D) × 72.8 (H) mm with a cutout of 237.5 × 161.4 mm and a weight of 3.0 kg N.W. It mounts in a panel cutout, on a wall bracket or on a VESA mount, the enclosure is industrial-grade aluminium built for 24/7 duty, and power is a 3-pin pluggable terminal at 12V DC (9~36V DC wide range available), and operating temperature is 0~50℃ with a −40~70℃ build available.

Because a login and work-order screen is mostly stacked fields, and on a 10-inch workstation the 1024 × 768 4:3 shape puts more of them on screen without widening the panel — which matters when the station already shares the space with a machine, a fixture or a sewing machine table. The panel is 300 nits at 500:1, readable under factory lighting.

Windows 10 and Windows 11, or Linux Ubuntu 12.04 / 14.04 / 16.04 / 20.04. Certifications are CE / FCC / BIS to EN 55032 and EN 55035, the factory is ISO 9001:2015, MTBF is 60,000 hours, and TPM 2.0 hardware security is supported on the board.

Yes — this is a BlockCore™ ODM platform. Card type (IC or ID), reader interface (RS232 or USB HID), BIOS configuration, booting on your own LOGO and OEM branding are all set per project, and the i-Function slot takes the extra interface modules a deployment needs (5G, multi-LAN, CAN, DIO). Fingerprint or face recognition can be added alongside the RFID reader where multi-factor authentication is required.
