Thin RFID Staff Badge

CenTrak launches people tracking solutions for the healthcare industry, combining real-time location system with thin RFID badges and advanced patient tags. ...

... "At only three millimeters (3 mm) thin the Staff Badge is the thinnest active RTLS tag ever produced and offers years of battery life. This size allows hospitals to place a standard personnel badge on top of the tag, enabling them to be seamlessly integrated into staff uniforms and hospital operations. RTLS programs that involve people greatly depend on the usage of tags. Currently, staff must remember to independently attach a tag to their uniforms. This requires a new process that is difficult to manage and results in missing RTLS data impacting overall system reliability and consistency. Gaps in data prevent hospital administrators from being able to make fully-informed decisions. " ...

MicroWireless RFID Tracks Investory

Axcess International's Micro-Wireless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system will be implemented by the U.S. military to enable automatic inventory accounting and perimeter security for its ordnance assets. ...

... "Micro-Wireless technology allows for ultra-small, low cost wireless identification transmitters to be assigned to each asset, enabling automatic tracking, local area location determining and automatic security monitoring. The military initially selected Axcess' MicroWireless system for a pilot program because of its proven domain expertise in automatically identifying, tracking and protecting assets. During the thorough laboratory testing that began early last year, the military integrated the Axcess system into its core software system. The total system is now being implemented in the arms storage facility. Various forms of wireless tags are placed on the different types of armament. The items' electronic identifications are enrolled in the software to provide an automatic, real time inventory of each armament and its location based on its transmitted signal. Any unauthorized movement of an armament outside the storage area, automatically triggers an alert. The handling of armaments can be linked to authorized service personnel electronically via an RFID personnel badge so the authorized movement does not trigger an alarm. " ...
