Why choose a system integrator?

In an increasingly complex world of industrial digitalization, companies are faced with the challenge of efficiently integrating specialized technologies and processes into their workflows. This often raises the question: should you rely on a hardware provider that has fixed systems in its portfolio or commission a flexible system integrator that can respond to the customer's individual needs? The answer is obvious - a system integrator offers everything from a single source without being tied to a rigid portfolio.

The strength of the system integrator: flexibility and expertise

As a system integrator, SIGMA Chemnitz relies on a strong network of partners. This independence allows us to select the best solution for your requirements from a wide range of technologies and manufacturers. Manufacturers who develop and distribute their own hardware are often tied to their own systems. This can quickly lead to limitations when it comes to specific requirements. SIGMA, on the other hand, brings together the expertise of a wide range of partners - and therefore also the optimum technology for every challenge.

An example: RFID gate project in practice

A company needs an RFID system that works efficiently in different environments. There are two central requirements:

1. Heat-resistant transponders: The production area exposes RFID tags to high heat loads. SIGMA can select the ideal transponders from a broad portfolio of suppliers and brings the expertise of the manufacturers directly into the project.
2. Versatile hardware for different environments: Robust, resistant hardware is required in the production environment. In contrast, large-area antennas with a long range are required for clean storage areas. SIGMA procures the right antennas for every environment, ensuring smooth operation.

The correct triggering of the reading processes is also an important component. SIGMA is networked with leading sensor technology partners and can integrate the appropriate sensors directly into the overall system.

Middleware as the key: GRAIDWARE

The GRAIDWARE middleware solution developed by SIGMA ensures that all hardware components - from transponders and antennas to sensors - communicate seamlessly with each other and can be connected to your existing IT systems (e.g. ERP) via an interface. This software forms the interface between the technical components and your company for smooth data exchange.

Project implementation from a single source

From the initial test phase through the proof of concept to the rollout across several locations, SIGMA supports your project with many years of experience and professional planning. You will always have a contact person at your side. This centralized communication ensures that the project is implemented efficiently and that ambiguities or delays caused by insufficient coordination between several partners are avoided.

The clear structure and the assumption of overall responsibility by SIGMA minimize the risk of challenges during the project. If adjustments do need to be made, these are resolved quickly and in a targeted manner - without you having to mediate between different service providers.

Conclusion

With SIGMA, you are choosing an experienced partner who understands your requirements and implements them in a tailor-made solution. Thanks to our flexible access to a broad partner network, our GRAIDWARE middleware and our project experience, you receive a holistic, future-proof RFID solution.
