•Case Study: Florida State Attorney's Office Improves Oversight Of Active Felony Case Files With Integrated RFID, RTLS And Wi-Fi Tracking System

By Dan Zinn, CIO, Florida State Attorney's Office and Yael Maguire, CTO and Co-Founder, ThingMagic, Inc.

In 2006, the Florida State Attorney's Office sought out systems integrators to help with a case file tracking system feasibility study. After initial discussions with a number of companies, InnerWireless was selected, based on its integrated RFID, RTLS and Wi-Fi asset tracking expertise.

"InnerWireless had successful active tag implementations in hospitals and pledged to provide the engineering and testing to determine if passive RFID tags could be accurately tracked in our large facility," said Dan Zinn, CIO for the Florida State Attorney's Office. "InnerWireless explored passive RFID reader technologies from ThingMagic and proposed a solution. The preliminary test results were encouraging, so we planned a pilot test in our building."

To support the project, Zinn brought together a team consisting of 10 colleagues from the Felony, Information Technology, Intake, and Investigations divisions of the Florida State Attorney's Office. The team was tasked with ensuring the project would benefit the office and respective internal divisions and critical business functions. Zinn and his team worked with representatives from: InnerWireless, for the overall system testing, integration and deployment; Jade Communications, for the system installation; and SimplyRFID, to address label printing and programming, and the potential addition of a staff ID card location system.
