Radio frequency identification (RFID) Technology is fast growing as a key medium for tracking and access applications across a spectrum of Industries. These wireless systems allow for non-contact reading and are found very effective in manufacturing/ Warehousing/ Bulk Container Movement and other hostile environments where bar code labels could not survive.
Vxceed Technologies combined with a strong alliance with Savi Technologies Offers its Customers a wide range of RFID Solutions for various Industry categories. The application includes automated vehicle identification (AVI) systems, Infant Security systems, Manufacturing & warehousing Tracking etc.
Savi is the proven leader in global supply chain security and real-time asset management with over 12 years of logistics infrastructure experience. Savi operates the world's largest RFID network to track supplies from key depots to regional distribution centers and out to U.S. Army installations in Europe and other operating theaters.
Savi Smart Chain Platform aggregates and integrates logistical data from multiple sources and translates it into actionable information. The Savi Asset Management System, Transportation Security System and Smart Chain Logistics Portal sit on top of the Smart Chain Platform and provide global security and real-time management and monitoring of supply chain assets.

New generation, lower cost transponders offering multi-read capabilities.
Read/write electronic storage technology with wide range of products satisfying a range of data storage / Tracking and data transfer needs
- RFID Tags that contain the asset's identification code and other application information such as security procedures.
- RFID Readers that enable to obtain the tag's data, including its location, identity, and security status, the data is then automatically transmitted wirelessly to the Software Platform for Tracking & Analysis.
- RFID signposts which can be fixed, mobile or handheld, are used at strategic points for precision spot location.
Low to reasonably high (64Kbits) data storage capability. Wide range of data transfer rates, depending on device and carrier frequency used.
Close proximity (inductive systems) to tens of meters (radiating systems), without the need for line-of-sight interrogation, depending upon type of transponders and interrogation hardware.
Robust constructions available, allowing use in reasonably harsh conditions.
Transportation/Distribution
RFID systems are uniquely poised for operational adoption in the rigorous rail environment. Field programmable tags permit the full industry standard 12-character identification of each car by type, ownership and serial number. Tags are attached to the vehicle undercarriage; antennae are installed between or adjacent to the tracks, and readers or display devices are typically located within 40 to 100 feet in a wayside hut along with other control and communications equipment. A primary objective in rail applications is the improved fleet utilization that permits reductions in fleet size and/or deferral of investment in new equipment.
Commercial truckers can utilise RFID systems to monitor access and egress from terminal facilities. Combined with weigh-in-motion scales, the same systems can be used for transaction recording at refuse dumps, recycling plants, mines and similar operations, or for credit transactions at truck stops or service depots.
Industrial
The Broad two categories of RF Applications are:
- Direct product identification wherein the tag specifically identifies the item to which it is attached (e.g., by part number or serial number or, in the case of read/write systems, assembly or process instructions for the item).
- Carrier identification where content is identified manually (or with a bar code reader) and fed to the control system along with the carrier's machine-readable RF "license plate number." Strategically deployed RF readers accomplish subsequent load tracking.
In the plant environment, RF systems are ideally suited for the identification of high-unit-value products moving through a tough assembly process (e.g., automobile or agricultural equipment production where the product is cleaned, bathed, painted and baked). RF systems also offer the durability essential for permanent identification of captive product carriers such as: Tote boxes, containers, barrels, tubs, and pallets;
Tool carriers, monorail and power, and free conveyor trolleys; and
Lift trucks, towline carts, automatic guided vehicles.
Security and Access Control
The movement and use of valuable equipment and personnel resources can be monitored through RF tags attached to tools, computers, etc. or embedded in credit-card-size security badges. This type of monitoring also provides an extra measure of security for personnel working in high-risk areas in case of an emergency evacuation.
Animal Identification
Valuable breeding stock, laboratory animals involved in lengthy and expensive research projects, meat and dairy animals, wildlife, and even prized companion animals all present unique identification problems that can be solved by innovative applications of RFID technology.
Infant Security
With Increasing Security & Infant Protection requirements birthing centers and pediatric units, are increasingly being required to address issues on security with focus to the unauthorized removal of children, which may result in the threat of abduction. Innovative application of RFID Technology Provides for a closed, full proof system that provides the ultimate in portal exit protection, sounding an identifiable alarm when a child is being taken from a monitored area, without clearance Problems.
