Welcome to Program4 Engineering, Inc.



Providing our customers with product tracking solutions using Bar Code readers has long been a part of our automation engineering repertoire. So it was natural for us to begin working on advanced RFID Solutions that will either replace or supplement less flexible methods of in-process product tracking.

Picture:Closeup of an RFID ChipsetOne of our current RFID Solutions uses an Alien Reader to communicate with a serial port on an Allen Bradley PLC 5/80. It employs an Ethernet to Serial Converter. Since there are a multitude of “legacy” PLC 5’s still being used in manufacturing, this type of interface provides and efficient retrofit.

A key consideration is speed of transmission for processing the product or item number and type, as the few bytes of data required need to be quickly and accurately parsed from the 64 to 96 bytes of data encoded within the RFID tag.

Give us a call to discuss your application.
