Savi and Intermec Introduce Enhanced Active RFID Reader System to Track In-Transit and RFID-Tagged Military SuppliesProvides more powerful and agile capabilities for real-time supply chain visibility in military operations
SUNNYVALE, Calif. and EVERETT, Wash. - Nov. 21, 2005 - Savi Technology and Intermec Technologies Corporation, two long-time, leading providers of real-time supply chain solutions for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), today introduced a new active RFID reader system designed specifically to read bar codes and active radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. The lightweight, highly functional RFID reader system enhances the ability of DoD logistics personnel to identify and keep track of in-transit military supplies marked with bar code and active RFID technologies.
First orders and shipments of the dual-frequency reader system already have been made to the U.S. Department of Defense.
Savi Technology, a leading provider of RFID supply chain solutions, holds the DoD"s procurement contract for active RFID technologies and related software and services. Intermec, which develops, manufactures and integrates technologies that identify, track and manage supply chain assets, is the DoD"s prime contractor for mobile computing and related automatic identification technology (AIT) systems and services.
Drawing on a combined 30 years of DoD experience, the ruggedized reader system includes additional functionality and is lighter, smaller and more robust than previous generations of similar devices. It is able to read from and write to Savi"s active, data-rich RFID tags and also can scan and process data from standard linear, matrix, stacked and composite bar codes.
The RFID reader system integrates three key technology components:
· A special edition of Intermec"s powerful 700 Series color mobile computer with a full alphanumeric keypad. It supports batch 802.11-standard wireless LAN and
GSM/GPRS wide-area wireless capabilities and offers integrated bar code scanning options. The unit is ergonomically designed for a full day"s use in harsh environments. This special edition of the popular Intermec 700 Series is available only as part of the Savi/Intermec active RFID reader system.
· The Savi Mobile Reader (SMR-650). The SMR-650, based on Savi"s EchoPoint(TM) technology, uses both 123MHz radio frequency for short-range transmissions and 433.92 MHz radio frequency for long-range radio transmissions up to 200 feet. The SMR is a low-profile, lightweight, battery-operated reader that commissions, reads and writes to Savi"s active, data-rich RFID tags. The SMR-650 mounts on the back of the Intermec mobile computer.
· Savi SmartChain? Mobile Manager software, which is installed on the Intermec mobile computer, enables users to read, write and edit active RFID tag data through the SMR. SmartChain Mobile Manager also provides export features that allow data files to be transferred between the Savi Site Manager software and the handheld device.
The system provides capabilities previously unavailable in RFID handheld reader systems used by the DoD, including:
· More than 300MB of memory, compared with 32MB in a previous version.
· Omnidirectional RFID read ranges of up to 200 feet; prior handhelds used directional antennas that provided a read range of up to 100 feet.
· A bracket to mount the Savi SMR-650 onto the Intermec mobile computer, which allows the SMR to draw power from the handheld and eliminates the need for a separate charger. The SMR-650 also can be interfaced with other models of Intermec 700 Series mobile computers.
· A docking station to upload data collected by the Intermec mobile computer into the DoD"s information systems, including the Total Asset Visibility network.
"The new mobile computer and reader system developed by Savi and Intermec is a perfect example of how the private sector teamed up with the defense sector to advance critical technology that supports our most important asset - the war fighter," said David Stephens, Savi Senior Vice President, Public Sector. "Partnering with Intermec has generated a multitude of new features and functions that have been integrated into this handheld computer to meet the needs of the DoD"s logistics operations."
Savi 与Intermec两家公司均是供应链实时解决方案领先供应商，是美国国防部的长期供应商，近日宣布新的有源RFID读取器系统，专门为美国国防部设计的产品已经完成。这种读取器可以读取条形码以及有源RFID标签，其特点是重量轻高性能，可以增强国防部物流人员对运输途中军用物资的识别与跟踪能力，不论物品上面采用的是条形码标签或者是有源RFID标签。
这是一种双频读取器系统，美国国防部的首批订单发货已经完成。
Savi公司是RFID供应链解决方案的领先供应商，有美国国防部的RFID技术、相关软件和服务的供应合同。Intermec公司是供应链资产管理跟踪识别技术开发和集成商，是美国国防部的主要合同供应商，产品有移动计算系统以及相关的自动识别系统和服务。 根据美国国防部30 多年的使用经验，新的读取器系统结构牢固可靠，具有多种新增加的功能，与原先的读取器比较新的读取器重量更轻、体积更小、而且更加牢固可靠，可以读取和写入Savi公司的有源RFID标签，标签内的数据储存量大。空间租用 网页设计 虚拟主机 网站推广 广州网站推广这种读取器也可以扫描和处理条形码标签的数据，数据的结构可以是线性、矩阵、堆栈以及复合式。
这种RFID读取器系统集成有三个关键技术部件：
1. Intermec的专用700系列彩屏移动计算机以及完整键盘。可以支持各种 802.11标准的无线LAN和GSM/GPRS大范围无线定位功能，并且集成有条形码扫描功能可供选择。本器件设计时已经考虑到在恶劣环境不间断使用时的经济性，专门为 Savi/Intermec 有源RFID 读取器系统设计制作。
2. Savi 移动式读取器（SMR-650）。本器件基于Savi的EchoPoint技术，适合两种频率使用，123MHz适合短距离读取， 433.92 MHz 适合长距离读取，距离可以高达200英尺。SMR读取器体积小巧重量轻，内置电池 用于激活、读取和写入Savi的有源大储存量 RFID标签。SMR-650读取器安装在 Intermec 移动计算机的背面。
3. Savi SmartChain 移动管理软件，安装在Intermec的移动计算机内，用户可以直接通过SMR.对有源RFID标签进行读写和编码操作。SmartChain移动管理软件也具备输出功能，可以把数据文件在Savi的现场管理软件与掌上器件之间相互传递。
此系统与美国国防部原先使用的掌上RFID读取器比较，增加一些新的功能：
内存容量超过300MB，原先只有32MB；
全方位RFID，距离高达200英尺， 性能优于掌上读取器的方向天线，而且掌上读取器的读取距离只有100英尺；
在移动计算机背面有支架用于安装 Savi SMR-650，可以直接向SMR供电，省去掌上器件的电池以及充电装置。SMR-650也可以与其他类型的 Intermec 700系列移动计算机接口。
增加船坞式接口，可以把移动计算机收集的数据上载到美国国防部的信息系统，含资产可视网络。
Savi公共事业部的资深副总裁David Stephens说：“两家公司联合开发的新型移动计算机和读取器系统是私人企业支持美国国防部的极好例子，我们可以用先进的重大技术支持我们最重要的资产-美国的武装部队。与Intermec的合作使掌上移动计算机具备新的特性与功能，可以满足美国国防部对物流运作的需求。”
