Telea Medical
Revamping RFID data decoding for medical devices
Telea Medical is an Italian medical device manufacturer with more than 35 years of experience. The company develops equipment for surgery, physiotherapy, aesthetic medicine, and ophthalmology, and many devices use RFID tags to detect and activate equipment. Telea had a small piece of code that could read data from RFID tags on device packaging, yet it worked only as a proof of concept. The code was difficult to maintain and could slow down future updates. Innowise rebuilt the RFID tag data decoding component from scratch. Our team analyzed the existing implementation and worked with Telea engineers to plan improvements. We set up a development environment that mirrored real device conditions and then developed a new C++ module that reads RFID data more reliably and supports both unique and private tag IDs. The system behavior remained the same for end users, while the code became easier to maintain and extend. The team also tested the module in real conditions and prepared documentation so Telea’s engineers can update the system in the future.
Challenge
The client needed a strategic partner to address key business objectives and deliver measurable outcomes in their market.
Solution
Our team developed and executed a comprehensive strategy tailored to the client's specific needs, leveraging industry expertise and proven methodologies to deliver results.
Results
Innowise delivered a clean and modern RFID decoding module within four weeks, replacing the original proof-of-concept code with reliable and well-structured logic. The updated module works with the existing hardware and keeps the same system behavior while making the code easier for Telea’s engineers to maintain and expand. By reducing technical clutter, the solution also saves time for future development. After this delivery, Telea Medical selected Innowise again for another engineering task.
