Hospital Asset and Patient Tracking Solution

Every year, thousands of dollars in equipment are lost due to theft or shrinkage of high value assets in hospitals. AWID and Pramari have released their Hospital Asset Tracking solution that offers hospitals a low cost, but highly efficient way of preventing assets from leaving the hospital or designated areas within the hospital. Assets are tagged with passive RFID tags; movement of such assets through RFID enabled doors automatically alarms security personnel. The solution can be integrated with video surveillance cameras or existing inventory management systems, if desired.

It is the first commercially available low cost solution of its kind that allows further customization. Reduced loss will free up your budget for purchasing needed equipment or other investments. A great investment for saving cost so you regain ability to reallocate your budget to important causes. Here is what you get:


- Asset Tracking Coverage for 15 exit doors
- RFID Readers, Antennas, cables and power supplies
- 200 Asset Tags
- Warm backup server
- Automated alarm and logging of loss or theft events

Pramari Announces Open Source RFID...   >   10/4/2007

Pramari releases new Rifidi Version - RFID’s Next Generation Op

Pramari Announces Open Source RFID Simulation Product

Open Source RFID innovators continue to develop IDE for RFID Solutions

10/4/2007 — Pramari, a world leader in Open Source RFID software, today announced the public release of Rifidi Designer.  Built in collaboration with the University of Arkansas and other leading RFID organizations, Rifidi Designer marks the first product providing an end to end solution for building and simulating RFID business processes.

Rifidi Designer is a design and modeling product which enables the creation of a simulated RFID infrastructure.  Using Rifidi Designer users can design a real-world view of their business process and ‘virtualize’ the critical RFID components.  This provides users the ability to perform ‘what-if’ analysis on a given process well in advance of making the full RFID investment.

Pramari, the University of Arkansas's and others have also partnered to provide a standard means for defining RFID business processes.  These business processes will be bundled with Rifidi Designer providing baseline templates in the areas of supply chain management, DoD, healthcare and point of sale enabling end users to rapidly customize scenarios specific to their organization’s needs.

“We believe developing a common approach to describing RFID business processes is a necessary step for accelerating RFID adoption,” said Justin Patton, Lab Director at the University of Arkansas's Research Center.

Hardware vendors and system integrators have also seen the power that such a tool can bring to their sales and adoption efforts.  Rifidi Designer will speed up development by virtualizing all the RFID components and reduce costs in prototyping scenarios.

“The ability to simulate an RFID process in software allows customers to analyze and visualize the benefits of RFID systems,” said George Lu, VP of Business Development at AWID.  “Customers and end user’s are better educated and this leads to faster adoption of RFID technologies.”

More information on Rifidi Designer is available on http://www.rifidi.org or on Sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/rifidi/).

AWID will use the Intel® R1000 Transceiver   >   5/2/2007

AWID will use the Intel® R1000 Transceiver To Deliver Breakthrough Price And Performance In The RFID Reader Module Marketplace

Lake Buena Vista, Florida (RFID Journal Live!) - May 1, 2007 - Applied Wireless Identifications, Inc. (AWID) today announced the launch of a new line of low-cost RFID reader modules. Utilizing the just-launch Intel® R1000 Transceiver and AWID’s innovative and proprietary technology, the new modules will bring to the marketplace a new level of price-performance in a compact form factor with dual-frequency option, thus enable new classes of RFID applications.

AWID already has families of UHF RFID reader modules covering 1-port, 2-port, and 8-port applications. RFID Readers based on these modules were among the first to receive EPCglobal's C1G2 certification, as early as September 2005. While the buzz of RFID has been in supply chain management, the rapid diffusion of RFID technology into new applications calls for compact modules that can be easily embedded and enable a wide array of fixed and mobile RFID systems. The Intel R1000 Transceiver brings a new level of system integration by offering RFID reader radio on a chip. With the Intel R1000 platform, AWID is able to deliver a credit card-sized multi-frequency multi-protocol reader module.

The key features of the new MPR-1710 reader module features include:
• Compact credit card-sized form factor
• Serial and USB interface
• Dual-frequency operation: UHF and optional HF
• Multi-protocol in UHF: ISO-18000-6B and ISO-180006C / EPC Class 1 Generation 2
• Optional HF support: ISO-14443A/B and ISO-15693
• Worldwide radio
• Dense Reader Mode
• Same communication protocol used in AWID’s UHF products.
The optional HF support is particularly aimed at industries where UHF and HF tags co-exist in the supply chain. MPR-1710's unique dual-frequency operations offer customers’ best protection on the equipment investment without compromising performance in either frequency.

“We are excited to be working with the highly integrated Intel R1000 Transceiver -(,” said Dr. Yung-Fu Chang, CEO, AWID. “Utilizing the new Intel R1000 and our creative RFID design expertise and technology allows us to focus on system level innovations where we excel."

“AWID has been a pioneer in offering multi-protocol RFID readers,” said Michael J. Reed, Intel RFID Operation General Manager. “The new MPR-1710 is a very creative utilization of the Intel R1000’s breakthrough integration enabling UHF RFID performance in a small, low power form factor.” The new MPR-1710 is scheduled to sample in Q2 2007 and enters volume production in Q3 2007.
