SAMSys Technologies Showcases RFID Solutions at International Materials Handling and Logistics Show ProMat 2003
CHIGAGO, IL, Feb. 10 /CNW/ - SAMSys Technologies Inc. (SMY:TSX-VEN)
("SAMSys"), a Toronto-based world leading provider of patented radio frequency
identification (RFID) hardware solutions, is showcasing their broad array of
RFID readers in live demonstrations at ProMat 2003, an international material
handling and logistics show and conference being held in Chicago, Illinois
from February 10 - 13, 2003. Show attendees will be able to visit SAMSys'
booth (No. 3242) to view its full range of products as well as live
demonstrations of RFID solutions designed to improve productivity in the
manufacturing, distributing and warehousing areas.
"RFID technology is being recognized as an important means to increase
productivity in the manufacturing, distribution and warehousing sectors
because the technology allows for tighter control of inventory throughout the
supply fulfillment chain. From the factory floor to the warehouse to the
retail shelf, RFID technology can provide higher profitability," says Cliff
Horwitz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SAMSys. "We are pleased to
showcase the largest selection of RFID readers at ProMat in real-life material
handling and logistics scenarios that demonstrate technology-enhanced
efficiencies to today's manufacturing environments."
SAMSys will provide the following logistics and warehouse technology
demonstrations during ProMat 2003:
- Smart-label tagged cartons will be read using SAMSys' SARS 9210
reader on a roller conveyor equipped with an ISO 15693 (13.56 Mhz)
tunnel reader;
- SAMSys' SARS 9120 reader will read tagged metal cages on casters
using a portal equipped with an LF (125 KHz) reader using a floor
antenna; and
- Static displays of their RFID readers and modules.
In addition, SAMSys will demonstrate their new multi-protocol SARS 9320
reader in a UHF (915 MHz) interrogator/tag setup, which is simultaneously
being shown at the ISO 18000-6 artifact demonstration in Orlando, Florida.
This reader shows the operation of a single UHF reader capable of
simultaneously reading both 18000-6 A and B protocol tags. SAMSys is pleased
to offer its technology as a demonstration "artifact" at this important step
in proving the viability of the -6A and -6B protocols in the rigorous ISO
standards process.
SAMSys offers a selection of reader solutions including standard
frequency-specific modules (SAMSys' SARS family of readers), custom-made
application specific reader systems, and OEM modules aimed at providing
tailored solutions for a wide variety of supply chain management applications.
The comprehensive line of RFID readers spans low frequency, high frequency and
UHF, supports a very broad range of protocols, and is available in a wide
range of form factors, including:
- packaged and ready to use low power readers,
- high power readers for demanding applications,
- smart shelves,
- modules for integration into OEM products,
- RFID reader networks for TCP/IP connectivity, and
- dual frequency readers at 125KHz/13.56MHz and 134KHz/13.56 MHz. |
