TAGSYS and RFIP Ltd. will work with British police to pilot the application of RFID technology to tracking weapons for security purposes.
In the first phase of the pilot, the police department is managing tasers using RFID methods.
Each item is identified using Tagsys tags.
The weapon checkout process integrates officer identification with taser authorization.
After completion of an electronic signature, the weapon management system releases the appropriate taser. …
… “Named the Intelligent Drawer Armory System iDAS, the solution utilizes embedded RFID technology to automatically record the issue and return of weapons to a secure storage locker.
The solution not only automates inefficient manual weapons issuing processes, but also provides a complete service history for each weapon, generates audit reports for supervisors, prevents issue of weapons to un-authorized officers and improves weapon security.
In the current installations, the police department is keeping track of its Tasers using RFID-equipped storage cabinets.
Each Taser is tagged with a high frequency TAGSYS Ario 370-SDM Small Disc Module RFID tag, and monitored using TAGSYS Medio P032 OEM RFID readers and antennas mounted in the cabinet. “ …
