Savi and Intermec Introduce Enhanced Active RFID Reader System to Track In-Transit and RFID-Tagged Military SuppliesProvides more powerful and agile capabilities for real-time supply chain visibility in military operations
SUNNYVALE, Calif. and EVERETT, Wash. - Nov. 21, 2005 - Savi Technology and Intermec Technologies Corporation, two long-time, leading providers of real-time supply chain solutions for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), today introduced a new active RFID reader system designed specifically to read bar codes and active radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. The lightweight, highly functional RFID reader system enhances the ability of DoD logistics personnel to identify and keep track of in-transit military supplies marked with bar code and active RFID technologies.
First orders and shipments of the dual-frequency reader system already have been made to the U.S. Department of Defense.
Savi Technology, a leading provider of RFID supply chain solutions, holds the DoD"s procurement contract for active RFID technologies and related software and services. Intermec, which develops, manufactures and integrates technologies that identify, track and manage supply chain assets, is the DoD"s prime contractor for mobile computing and related automatic identification technology (AIT) systems and services.
Drawing on a combined 30 years of DoD experience, the ruggedized reader system includes additional functionality and is lighter, smaller and more robust than previous generations of similar devices. It is able to read from and write to Savi"s active, data-rich RFID tags and also can scan and process data from standard linear, matrix, stacked and composite bar codes.
The RFID reader system integrates three key technology components:
· A special edition of Intermec"s powerful 700 Series color mobile computer with a full alphanumeric keypad. It supports batch 802.11-standard wireless LAN and
GSM/GPRS wide-area wireless capabilities and offers integrated bar code scanning options. The unit is ergonomically designed for a full day"s use in harsh environments. This special edition of the popular Intermec 700 Series is available only as part of the Savi/Intermec active RFID reader system.
· The Savi Mobile Reader (SMR-650). The SMR-650, based on Savi"s EchoPoint(TM) technology, uses both 123MHz radio frequency for short-range transmissions and 433.92 MHz radio frequency for long-range radio transmissions up to 200 feet. The SMR is a low-profile, lightweight, battery-operated reader that commissions, reads and writes to Savi"s active, data-rich RFID tags. The SMR-650 mounts on the back of the Intermec mobile computer.
· Savi SmartChain? Mobile Manager software, which is installed on the Intermec mobile computer, enables users to read, write and edit active RFID tag data through the SMR. SmartChain Mobile Manager also provides export features that allow data files to be transferred between the Savi Site Manager software and the handheld device.
The system provides capabilities previously unavailable in RFID handheld reader systems used by the DoD, including:
· More than 300MB of memory, compared with 32MB in a previous version.
· Omnidirectional RFID read ranges of up to 200 feet; prior handhelds used directional antennas that provided a read range of up to 100 feet.
· A bracket to mount the Savi SMR-650 onto the Intermec mobile computer, which allows the SMR to draw power from the handheld and eliminates the need for a separate charger. The SMR-650 also can be interfaced with other models of Intermec 700 Series mobile computers.
· A docking station to upload data collected by the Intermec mobile computer into the DoD"s information systems, including the Total Asset Visibility network.
"The new mobile computer and reader system developed by Savi and Intermec is a perfect example of how the private sector teamed up with the defense sector to advance critical technology that supports our most important asset - the war fighter," said David Stephens, Savi Senior Vice President, Public Sector. "Partnering with Intermec has generated a multitude of new features and functions that have been integrated into this handheld computer to meet the needs of the DoD"s logistics operations."
Savi 與Intermec兩家公司均是供應鏈實時解決方案領先供應商，是美國國防部的長期供應商，近日宣布新的有源RFID讀取器系統，專門為美國國防部設計的產品已經完成。這種讀取器可以讀取條形碼以及有源RFID標簽，其特點是重量輕高性能，可以增強國防部物流人員對運輸途中軍用物資的識別與跟蹤能力，不論物品上面采用的是條形碼標簽或者是有源RFID標簽。
這是一種雙頻讀取器系統，美國國防部的首批訂單發貨已經完成。
Savi公司是RFID供應鏈解決方案的領先供應商，有美國國防部的RFID技術、相關軟件和服務的供應合同。Intermec公司是供應鏈資產管理跟蹤識別技術開發和集成商，是美國國防部的主要合同供應商，產品有移動計算系統以及相關的自動識別系統和服務。 根據美國國防部30 多年的使用經驗，新的讀取器系統結構牢固可靠，具有多種新增加的功能，與原先的讀取器比較新的讀取器重量更輕、體積更小、而且更加牢固可靠，可以讀取和寫入Savi公司的有源RFID標簽，標簽內的數據儲存量大。空間租用 網頁設計 虛擬主機 網站推廣 廣州網站推廣這種讀取器也可以掃描和處理條形碼標簽的數據，數據的結構可以是線性、矩陣、堆棧以及復合式。
這種RFID讀取器系統集成有三個關鍵技術部件：
1. Intermec的專用700系列彩屏移動計算機以及完整鍵盤。可以支持各種 802.11標準的無線LAN和GSM/GPRS大范圍無線定位功能，并且集成有條形碼掃描功能可供選擇。本器件設計時已經考慮到在惡劣環境不間斷使用時的經濟性，專門為 Savi/Intermec 有源RFID 讀取器系統設計制作。
2. Savi 移動式讀取器（SMR-650）。本器件基于Savi的EchoPoint技術，適合兩種頻率使用，123MHz適合短距離讀取， 433.92 MHz 適合長距離讀取，距離可以高達200英尺。SMR讀取器體積小巧重量輕，內置電池 用于激活、讀取和寫入Savi的有源大儲存量 RFID標簽。SMR-650讀取器安裝在 Intermec 移動計算機的背面。
3. Savi SmartChain 移動管理軟件，安裝在Intermec的移動計算機內，用戶可以直接通過SMR.對有源RFID標簽進行讀寫和編碼操作。SmartChain移動管理軟件也具備輸出功能，可以把數據文件在Savi的現場管理軟件與掌上器件之間相互傳遞。
此系統與美國國防部原先使用的掌上RFID讀取器比較，增加一些新的功能：
內存容量超過300MB，原先只有32MB；
全方位RFID，距離高達200英尺， 性能優于掌上讀取器的方向天線，而且掌上讀取器的讀取距離只有100英尺；
在移動計算機背面有支架用于安裝 Savi SMR-650，可以直接向SMR供電，省去掌上器件的電池以及充電裝置。SMR-650也可以與其他類型的 Intermec 700系列移動計算機接口。
增加船塢式接口，可以把移動計算機收集的數據上載到美國國防部的信息系統，含資產可視網絡。
Savi公共事業部的資深副總裁David Stephens說：“兩家公司聯合開發的新型移動計算機和讀取器系統是私人企業支持美國國防部的極好例子，我們可以用先進的重大技術支持我們最重要的資產-美國的武裝部隊。與Intermec的合作使掌上移動計算機具備新的特性與功能，可以滿足美國國防部對物流運作的需求。”
