Perfectly equipped for any challenge
With BALTECH readers, you tackle the expected, but also unexpected challenges of a wide variety of RFID projects with ease. Whether you need to switch card systems, add another card system, or exchange an encryption key: Our readers can be easily, quickly, and securely adapted to new requirements – even in productive use.
What makes this possible is the wide feature scope of our devices, accompanied by intuitive software tools for reader and project management as well as supplementary services. Designed with real-world experience from 25 years, implemented with the know-how from 100% in-house development.
Comprehensive RFID support
BALTECH readers are compatible with all common card systems and key fobs.
Highly customizable
Adapt the readers to your cards and background system via their configuration. Implement even complex check routines and I/O actions without development effort.
Easy to set up with intuitive software tools
With the free BALTECH ToolSuite, you can create your configuration using predefined forms, test it right on your computer, and roll it out smoothly via various interfaces.
Respond flexibly, even to unforeseen changes
If requirements change during operation, all you need to do is adjust the configuration. Thanks to wireless deployment, you can easily update readers after installation as well.
Smart security concept
To maintain key sovereinty, end customers can conveniently enter project keys into the configuration themselves. End-to-end encryption protects the keys during transmission to the readers. Check mechanisms in the reader prevent unauthorized reconfiguration.
Card-type-independent development
With just a few, very powerful commands from our macro command set “VHL”, you write universally applicable code that you can reuse for different card types – no code changes required.
Supplementary services
We offer advice on picking the right card system and help you reformat existing cards in the field. Besides, you can order your project configuration from us and have it rolled out during production.
Custom development
Whether you need specific features or a cost-optimized product variant: We develop your custom solution at competitive prices.

Cards & transponders
Standard card systems
We provide you with pre-formatted cards and key fobs for the most common systems, with number printing on request. Since the market is complex, we only work with selected suppliers to ensure consistently high quality and performance.
Custom transponders
We develop and produce also custom transponders according to your requirements, e.g. for difficult installation environments.

Special functional requirements
We offer firmware adaptions, e.g. to suport a proprietary host protocol, or hardware adaptions, e.g. to tailor the reader to specific installation environments.
Cost optimization
In addition to cost-optimized variants of our standard devices, we also offer fully custom designs for high order volumes: With further optimizations of the feature scope as well as mechanical properties tailored to your production steps.
In both cases, we also take care of international certifications, branding, and logistics.
Legacy products
While we continue to develop our products, we’re also committed to offer you older product generations as long as possible. Thus, we reproduce legacy devices for you on request. Thanks to in-house production, also at short notice and fair prices
