Turck, a global leader in industrial automation, has acquired the assets of U Grok It, Inc. including the Smartphone RFID product line. Turck initially licensed the U Grok It technology in 2016 to launch its PD-Ident handheld, and saw additional value in ownership of the technology and product line.
“The Smartphone RFID technology expands Turck’s presence in RFID, by leveraging the power and benefits of RFID with an efficient and affordable reader,” said Chris Vitale, Director of Fieldbus Technology at Turck. “This is a great enhancement to our RFID offering, and gives us a base for further handheld expansion.”
Turck will continue to support the Smartphone RFID platform, including flexible development tools that allow companies and developers to create tailored RFID solutions. The fully functioning handheld reader/writer is lightweight, easy to use and works with iOS, Android and Windows smart devices.
