KANSAS CITY, KS -- 04/07/08 --
Rush Tracking Systems
(
www.rushtrackingsystems.com), a recognized industry leader and trusted
advisor for RFID solutions, today announced general availability for its
VisiblEdge™ RFID lift-truck package. Combining state-of-the-art application
software, RFID hardware, and positioning technology on lift trucks,
VisiblEdge maximizes tracking efficiency by providing real-time operational
visibility with automatic RFID data collection.
Resulting from significant development efforts, years of collective
experience and successful pilot programs, VisiblEdge enables unprecedented
granularity for identifying and tracking the status and location of goods
and assets. This results in improved operational control, greater inventory
and shipping accuracy, streamlined material movement processes, and reduced
working capital.
"Working closely with our clients, we developed VisiblEdge in response to a
growing need for greater granularity and real-time visibility in
manufacturing and warehouse operations," said Toby Rush, president and CEO
of Rush Tracking Systems. "By enabling automated control and minimizing
necessary human intervention, VisiblEdge helps organizations improve
operational effectiveness, efficiencies, productivity and throughput."
Ideally suited for heavy industrial and returnable container applications,
VisiblEdge automatically tracks product and asset movement. VisiblEdge
enables organizations to automatically capture lift truck locations, and
determines and verifies pickup status and location of loads, without any
required operator scanning or typing.
VisiblEdge is designed to work with existing equipment and interface with
existing systems. Components of the turnkey package include:
-- VisiblEdge software - Developed by Rush Tracking Systems, serves as
the interface to the RFID reader to control and coordinate all components,
and integrates with off-the-shelf RFID middleware and backend software
applications.
-- Industrial-grade RFID reader - Capable of withstanding shock and
vibration common to industrial operations.
-- Cargo antennas - Quickly identifies a single pallet, double stacked
pallets, or short pallets. Depending on the composite materials of the
load, the contents can also be confirmed.
-- Rugged rack tag antenna - Reads RFID tags that are placed on the
shelves where assets are stored.
-- Floor tag antenna - Reads RFID tags embedded in the floor.
-- Cargo presence lift sensor - Triggers when the RFID reader turns on
and off to eliminate reading tags on assets if a lift truck drives by
without a load.
"VisiblEdge demonstrates our continued dedication to helping our clients
deliver the greatest business value through strategic RFID investments,"
said Rush.
