•Case Study: Gators Gain With New RFID Solution

By Intermec

Dynasys developed an automated solution using the latest RFID technology available from Intermec. This solution includes UHF Generation 2 RFID tags affixed to each cage and Intermec UHF RFID readers that provide rapid and accurate tracking of each cage from the instant the cage is inducted to the time it is checked out of the system.

Each RFID cage tag contains information regarding the specific details about the rodent, project protocols and the researcher assigned to that program. Now, when employees take a census count, they simply roll a mobile RFID reader cart through the rooms. The cart integrates an Intermec IF4 reader, power supply and a WiFi connected laptop computer running the Dynasys Animal Care software application. This solution provides real-time data about the cages in each room and the animal care technicians are immediately notified when tags are detected that indicate an incorrect cage location and corrective action can be taken.

In addition to labor savings, the department has received positive feedback from researchers. The new solution provides researchers detailed account information and validation that they are being invoiced the correct amount which has led to a reduced number of grievances. Dr. Battles estimates that the department has increased revenue by being able to accurately capture the census.
