  3. White Paper: OnAsset Medical Smart Container 11/11/2009
    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.By OnAsset Intelligence, Inc
  4. Mobile RFID Readers: Read Points That Move With Your Assets 10/15/2009
    Until today, there have only been two options for deploying RFID read points: permanently fixed RFID readers designed for traditional choke points, and handheld RFID readers for on-the-spot reading of specific tags. Visibility was primarily limited to entry and exit through key areas, such as dock doors, restricting the potential value of RFID. Inventory movement throughout your facility — for example, through put-away, replenishment and picking operations in the warehouse or from the back room to the retail shelves — remained invisible beyond on-demand handheld reading.

  6. White Paper: Distributors Gain Market Share By Going On The Offensive - Even In A Down Economy 8/20/2009
    The struggling global economy has a ripple effect. Consumer demand is down, so manufacturing has slowed and companies are laying off workers and cutting shifts. The destructive ripple moves to distributors which supply those manufacturers. Orders are down, revenues are down and many distributors assume there’s nothing they can do but wait until the economy picks up. This compilation of case studies illustrates how some companies have taken advantage of industrial vending technology to both save and win. By Apex Industrial Technologies

  10. Low-Probability Of Intercept Of Ultra-Low-Power, Near-Field Signals 7/30/2009
    Long considered a technical backwater, low-power, near-field systems are emerging as the preferred solution for a variety of useful applications. These applications include short-range communication, radio frequency identification (RFID), and real-time locating systems (RTLS). This paper explores the ultralow-power and thus low-probability of intercept nature of near-field signals operating within the AM broadcast band under Part 15 constraints. By Hans G.
