"We are thrilled that our customer has designed the module into their system, and even further excited about their decision to showcase their system in our booth at the show". The Intelligent Hygiene management system ("i-Hygiene") wirelessly monitors compliance to corporate hand washing/hygiene policies. The i-Hygiene system uses an embedded Airborne(TM) Wireless LAN Node Module for WiFi compliant 802.11b wireless communication technology, and personnel badges equipped with radio frequency identification (RFID) technology.Once installed, the i-Hygiene system wirelessly monitors compliance of those personnel wearing the i-Hygiene RFID employee badges. Airborne's built-in web-server enables compliance information to be easily transmitted to remote monitoring or data gathering servers via the Internet. This provides enterprise-wide hygiene compliance monitoring information in real-time. i-Hygiene is a "turn-key" system that installs easily and is ideally suited for the Food Services, Food Processing, and Medical industries. DPAC and its customer will have representatives on hand to provide demonstrations and answer technical questions about the Airborne Wireless LAN Node Module and its application in the i-Hygiene system.
