Sirit, TAGSYS Announce RFID Technology Partnership
Sirit's UHF reader technology and TAGSYS' RFID infrastructure combine to
deliver turnkey, high-performing RFID solution
TORONTO, Feb. 21 /CNW/ - Sirit Inc. ("Sirit") (TSX: SI), a leading
provider of radio frequency identification ("RFID") technologies, today
announced a comprehensive partnership with TAGSYS, a global leader in
item-level RFID infrastructure. The partnership further reinforces Sirit's
position as the leading supplier of UHF reader technology and provides TAGSYS
with a more powerful RFID infrastructure, enabling companies to rapidly deploy
and maintain RFID solutions.
As part of the agreement, TAGSYS will release its RXU-400 UHF fixed
reader built on Sirit's performance-leading INfinity 510 platform. Also,
TAGSYS' integrated tunnel systems, with proven capability to deliver Six Sigma
performance, will be developed for UHF item-level applications powered by
Sirit's reader technology.
"We are pleased to reach an agreement with TAGSYS that leverages each
company's strengths and core competencies," stated Tony Sabetti, vice
president, RF Solutions for Sirit. "The INfinity 510 has proven to provide
outstanding performance in the types of implementations in which TAGSYS is
involved due to its strong feature-set and proprietary tag acquisition
algorithms. TAGSYS leads the way in RFID applications for several key markets,
such as fashion and pharmaceuticals, and we look forward to further developing
this solutions-based relationship."
"Bringing together complementary technologies from Sirit and TAGSYS
represents an important milestone in our ability to bring the best technology
to our customers, which leads to integrated, application-specific systems that
exceed customer expectations," said Fred Kohout, chief marketing officer for
TAGSYS. "We performed extensive testing and evaluation of various readers, and
Sirit's INfinity 510 platform is clearly the type of product we want to
deliver to our customers in terms of performance, reliability, and reader
management capabilities."
The technology partnership also includes e-connectware(TM), the
innovative software from TAGSYS that remotely manages and optimizes RFID
networks in real-time. e-connectware enables high-quality service levels and
ensures data accuracy and integrity in item-level tagging. Sirit will certify
the INfinity 510 and the RXU-400 from TAGSYS for compatibility with
e-connectware.
"The INfinity 510 continues to live up to its 'best in class' reputation
as is evidenced by customer field tests, the ODIN technologies European Reader
Benchmark(TM) report, and now the selection by TAGSYS as its primary UHF
reader platform," continued Sabetti. "Along with outstanding field performance
with large tag populations in challenging environments, our customers also
tell us the broad portfolio of configuration and enterprise management tools
set the INfinity 510 apart from competitive readers."
TAGSYS will display the RXU-400 and its UHF product family at Euroshop in
Dusseldorf, Germany, from Feb 23 through Feb 27, 2008 in booth D11, Hall 7A.
Sirit will also exhibit their reader solutions for the retail market in
booth D20, Hall 7A at Euroshop.
