Vista ready device connectivity
Quatech announces "Vista-ready" products with device connectivity now Microsoft Vista compatible.
Adasa's SmartCartridge and PAD3500 products were awarded the grand prize because of the low-cost, wearable, mobile encoder that supports the encoding of RF tags anywhere, anytime.
The ingenious device enables hands-free loading and encoding of RF tags with the help of Quatech's Airborne 802.11 modules that network-enable the device to talk to the RFID label printer and inventory mainframe computer that houses all the data.
"Adasa is licensing its technology to companies that recognise the value and importance of separating the label printing processes from the RFID tag encoding processes," said Clarke McAllister, President of Adasa of Eugene, Oregon.
"Hitching a bar code to an RFID tag is like hitching a horse to a car".
"Unhitch the two, go faster and spend less on selective RF tagging".
"Embedding the Quatech module into our solution allows us to transmit this critical data over the customer's Wireless LAN environments".
"These networks are typically part of the company's existing infrastructure and allows them to capitalise on their existing investment in wireless technology, while dramatically improving their RFID processes," says McAllister.
"Quatech congratulates Adasa for receiving the 'Excellence in RFID Technology' award and is proud that Quatech's Airborne Modules helped make it possible for one of our partners to take such a prestigious award," said Steve Runkel, Quatech CEO.
"As our Airborne wireless technology continues to penetrate the marketplace and as Quatech continues to make strides in partnerships, this is one more step in proving our embedded products are recognised for their value and bottom line performance".
The CMP "Excellence in RFID Technology" winners were announced in Texas at the RFID World in Dallas this week, the world's largest industry event focused on radio frequency identification and advanced track and trace technologies.
RFID Journal will feature Adasa's technology in the April 2007 issue.
