RF Code,
Software RFID
RF Code of
Mesa, Ariz., has been selling active
(battery-powered) RFID tags and software systems to track objects
carrying those tags since 1997. With the market for passive RF Code,
Software, RFID tags taking off, the company is opening up its
software infrastructure to passive RFID technology from other
hardware vendors. RF Code, Software, RFID will sell its TAVIS
software platform separately from its own hardware for the first
time.
"This is a
stake in the ground showing that we are aggressively going after
software licensing in deployments that encompass not just the active
RFID but passive technology as well," says Armando Viteri, RF Code's
president.
Underlining
that goal, the company announced a partnership with passive RFID
hardware developer www.samsys.com SAMSys Technologies. RF Code,
Software, RFID will integrate passive RFID technologies from SAMSys
with its own RFID platform. RF Code says it could add support for
other hardware vendors, such as Alien Technology, Intermec and
Matrics.
While RF Code,
Software, RFID has modified TAVIS to support equipment from these
vendors, the company says it will not develop software to support
all rival systems. Instead, it will publish the details of its
software drivers so that any company can design software to make the
connections possible. Viteri says that having the ability to connect
any RFID readers to the TAVIS platform will make the software
particularly attractive to RF Code’s traditional resellers, as well
as to system integrators that want to deploy RFID systems
quickly.
There are many
RFID Software are available in the market differing in their cost,
coverage and complexities. RSI ID Technologies Flexolution RFID
Software is a web based application that can run in the internet or
an intranet that helps to provide better control of on-hand
inventory, improve traceability, and reduces product shrinkage. The
RFID Software works with RFID tags, readers, shelves, and a variety
of external equipment such as an integrated
camera.
How RSI ID
Technologies Flexolution RFID Software Works: Each item is tagged
with a label with an integrated RFID transponder. Each RFID
transponder is pre-programmed with static information. The static
information is associated with an item, and is entered into the
Flexolution® RFID Software system, which assigns a location and
monitors the incoming data from the RFID readers. Once the product
is placed at the designated location, the RFID reader/ writer
continually queries and reads each tag to verify that the RFID
labeled item is still present at the assigned location. When an item
is removed from the shelf, the system can trigger any type of
external equipment, for example a camera to take a photo of the
person removing the item from its assigned location, or it can
trigger the locking of a door. This information is then stored in
the item transaction log in the
software.
A robust RFID
Software Application Programming Interface (API) package allows easy
application development and integration into existing
systems.
GiitTag RFID
Software (for PocketPC): RFID technology is extremely powerful when
leveraged as part of an asset management solution. RFID technology
offers the significant advantage of durability, flexibility and
application-based tags which can be long life or throw away, taking
the concept of asset management to a whole new level. GiitTag RFID
Software will enable you to manage your assets more efficiently and
with reduced information error and data loss.
