RFID Services and Software
More and more, companies are taking advantage of the benefits of Radio
Frequency Identification (RFID) and it represents one of the fastest growing
sectors of the information technology (IT) and automatic identification and
data capture (AIDC) industries.
At OCR, our project managers, sales, and software developers, with their
rich project management and engineering backgrounds, can help develop a
successful RFID system tailored to meet your needs.
We have created strategic alliances through certification with Intermec,
Symbol, Alien, Samsys, Zebra, SATO and Cognitive to position ourselves to
respond to growth in the EPC Global Standard 915MHz Generation 2
specification.
RFID technologies can be integrated into virtually every sector of commerce,
industry, and service provision where data must be collected in order to
improve efficiency. RFID functionality is complimentary to other data capturing
systems and can satisfy particular application needs which cannot be met by
alternative technologies.
Already working RFID solutions and pilot projects have been deployed in the
following categories:
- Portable Data Capture systems
- Networked systems
- Positioning systems
Mobile data capturing systems, which make use of handheld data terminals
with RFID reading capabilities, are ideal for use in applications where there
is a high degree of variability in sourcing required data amongst RFID tagged
items. Handheld readers are capable of capturing data and transmitting it to a
host information management system.
Networked systems generally consist of fixed position readers spread
throughout a site which are connected directly to a networked information
management system. Transponders are then positioned on moving or moveable
items, or people.
Transponders are used within the system in order to facilitate automated
navigation and location support for guided vehicles. Readers can be positioned
on vehicles and linked to the on-board computer. Transponders can be embedded
into the floor and configured to include the necessary identification and
location data. A reader antenna, which is usually positioned underneath the
vehicle, allows for closer proximity to embedded transponders.
Let our RFID team provide you with a feasibility study to see if an RFID
solution is the right solution for your business. Our RFID team can assist with
feasibility studies, custom software, installation and support.
