White Paper: OnAsset Medical Smart Container

Automated identification systems today are quickly emerging as an enabler in the fast pace industries we live in. The numerous reasons for this strong emergence are not limited to the fact that these technologies offer an unsurpassed identification scheme that allows for more efficient processes. In fact, auto-id technologies offer so much more to the user although they typically consist of only three major divisions. The three major concepts employed by auto-id technologies are the track, trace and authentication mechanisms. These mechanisms are typically used together to produce highly effective processes that benefit both businesses and the end user. Radio frequency identification or RFID has revolutionized the automated identification realm today, generating enough interest within the public domain to surpass the barcode technological revolution experienced decades ago. Today, we see a market landscape where the merging of technologies are required to enable the adoption of emerging technologies, while maintaining low vulnerability and high security or privacy concerns. These emerging technologies such as RFID require very little human intervention as compared to existing barcode technology. The need for smart devices that adopt these emerging technologies has never been greater. Today, organizations thrive on discovering innovative methods to simplify life using these technologies. Smart devices that can contribute to reliability and offer any of the three concepts described earlier will benefit communities worldwide.
