RFID Solutions

Radio Frequency Identification [RFID] is a technology, which includes wireless data capture and transaction processing. Proximity (short range) and Vicinity (long range) are two major application areas where RFID technology is used. CORE is focused on delivering innovative, high value RFID solutions assisting companies to track assets, people and documents. CORE provides robust and complete end-to-end RFID solutions built with its extensible middleware/framework for government, healthcare, manufacturing and retail industries.

The various application areas in which CORE can provide customized end-to-end RFID solutions are defined as below:

Asset Tracking: Tracking of assets in offices, labs, warehouses, pallets and containers in the supply chain, books in libraries, documents etc...

User can instantly determine the general location of tagged assets anywhere within the facility with the help of RFID technology. Asset tracking applications will see an almost vertical growth curve in the coming years and the growth rate in this area will be much higher than the growth rate of general RFID market.

Healthcare: Linking a patient with key drugs, personnel giving the drugs, biometric measurements.

Patient safety is a big challenge of healthcare vertical; reducing medication errors, meeting new standards, staff shortages, and reducing costs are the plus points of use of RFID solutions. RFID wristbands containing patient records and medication history address several of these concerns.

People Tracking: Security tracking for entrance management or security, contact management at events, baby tags in hospitals to manage access to post-natal wards.

People tracking system is used just as asset tracking system. Hospitals and jails are the places where efficient and thorough tracking is required. Hospital uses RFID tags for tracking their special patients. In emergency, patient and other essential equipments can easily be tracked. It will be mainly very useful in mental care hospitals where doctors can track each and every activity of the patient. Hospitals also use these RFID tags for locating and tracking all the activities of the newly born babies.

RFID systems are very useful in the automobile manufacturing industry in tracking individual vehicles through the assembly process. RFID systems are also being installed in toll booths to monitor the traffic.

Livestock Tracking: Implanting RFID tags in animals for tracking and linking the animal to food, location. Also applicable to farming, as well as exotic breeds in zoos and wildlife habitat.

Automotive Sector: RFID systems are very useful in the automobile manufacturing industry for tracking individual vehicles through the assembly process [assembly line tracking].

Supply Chain: Using radio waves to track objects and provide near-real-time views of product status and location. RFID plays a major role in supply chain. More efficient way like rather than waiting for monthly or quarterly reports, retailers can get nearly instantaneous data that tells them which products have been sold, and how much remains on shelves, in warehouses and distribution centers. This information aids inventory control and distribution channel management, and reduces costs.
