RFID Security: VUANCE's AAID Security Solutions President, Pete Martin, Is Selected As Influential Security Industry Vendor

VUANCE, Ltd., a provider of innovative Radio Frequency Verification Solutions, including active RFID, electronic access control, credentialing and incident response management systems, recently announced that Pete Martin, President of its AAID Security Solutions division, has been selected by Security Magazine as an influential leader in the Vendor Community during the process of selecting its "Top 25 People in the Security Industry" list.

Pete Martin has been actively involved in the security industry for over 30 years, and was a pioneer in the development of intelligent gate control and long-range RFID systems. He was one of the first security visionaries to bring RFID into the security marketplace by creating solutions which enabled it to interface with existing security product technologies.

Mr. Martin's true calling is meeting today's need to integrate non- security oriented technologies with security applications. In recent years, AAID Security Solutions has been involved in such groundbreaking RFID applications as:

  • Providing General Aviation Airports with a set of solutions to (1) automate access for aircraft and pilots through barriers between Commercial Airside Operations and General Aviation hangars, (2) logging of aircraft moving at 200+ miles per hour as they take-off and land at distances of 2000+ feet, and (3) prevent theft and vandalism of airport assets that enter and exit the airport.
  • Providing Chilean mines with improved safety for workers around digging machines and increased productivity by tracking miners in underground mines.
  • Providing secure rapid gate access at U.S. Army and Coast Guard bases for government approved service providers.
  • Providing employee tracking for Time and Attendance, Emergency Evacuation and Mustering for Johnson & Johnson in Mexico.
  • Providing high value asset and laptop loss prevention for the BNCI and Chaabi Banks in Morocco.

Security Magazine's second annual list of Security Industry leaders represents what readers, advisory board members, editors, vendors and service providers felt are those people who have significantly impacted on their colleagues, society and the industry. It recognized those people's efforts to introduce new technologies and services to advance the security industry and profession.

"I'm honored to be selected to this distinguished list of industry movers and shakers," said Pete Martin. "Long Range Active RFID technology has the ability to improve security, increase productivity and facilitate activities for business owners worldwide. VUANCE's AAID Security Solutions intends to be at the forefront of innovative new solutions to identify and track people, vehicles and assets, confirm credentials, and enable long range electronic access control."
