(UPM Raflatac, Tampere, April 13, 2010) – UPM Raflatac will be exhibiting several industry solutions at RFID Journal Live!, the largest and most comprehensive event for RFID technology in the world. The conference and tradeshow will be held April 14-16, 2010, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.

Visitors to UPM Raflatac’s booth (#334) will have the opportunity to interact with multiple demonstrations from UPM Raflatac and its industry-leading partners, including:

– Trakaid CyTrack, a tool from Technology Solution Partners LLC and UPM Raflatac, which optimizes the production, warehousing and distribution of industrial gas cylinders. The demo features curved, plastic-encapsulated UPM Raflatac UHF Belt RFID tags equipped with NXP’s U-Code G2XM chips, which were co-designed by UPM Raflatac and Technology Solution Partners LLC. The tags are affixed securely to metal industrial cylinders. Included in the demo is a comprehensive Cylinder Tracking System and a scanning application that uses a handheld RFID reader. Employees can use this solution to automate key processes including scanning tagged cylinders, taking inventory and completing orders, thereby reducing processing timeframes and errors due to human intervention.

– Two solutions from UPM Raflatac and Pittsfield ID Technologies: The first, a bulk encoding program, Batch Complete™, leverages Pittsfield’s custom software and UPM Raflatac UHF Dogbone RFID tags equipped with Impinj’s Monza™ 4 tag chips, to individually encode already-boxed items, improving inventory control and accuracy. Batch Complete™ is also fully compatible with UPM Raflatac’s UHF Belt tag as well as other UPM Raflatac inlays.

The second, Pittsfield’s InMotion™ retail marketing solution, uses RFID-driven sensor technologies, an RFID reader and server and an LCD monitor, paired with UPM Raflatac’s UHF Belt RFID tags, to interact with the customer and communicate the brand message through streaming video, direct links to brand websites or fixed ads. When customers pick up RFID- tagged goods, the tool captures movement and presents them with targeted advertising. Retailers can use the system to increase sales through proactive communication with the customer as well as evaluate which items are generating the least and most interest, using data to fine-tune marketing strategies and drive product sales.

– A bike shop demo, which is a replica of an actual deployment, featuring Freedom Shopping’s RFID-enabled FLiP system, UPM Raflatac UHF Web and ShortDipole RFID tags and merchandise from independent retailer Uptown Cycles. This solution enables small and midsized retailers to leverage the power of RFID technology to streamline critical inventory management processes and reduce shrinkage and theft.

UPM Raflatac is also supplying UHF Frog RFID tags that will be used in the event attendee badges as part of Lygase RFID Solutions’ real-time, RFID-enabled conference attendee tracking, lead capture and data analysis tool.

Helps Provide Timely and Accurate Delivery of Gas in Test-certified Cylinders

SHELTON, CT, NOVEMBER 3, 2014 – A comprehensive cylinder Logistics Solution has been engineered as an add-on to any cylinder management solution. Companies may implement the Solution on intelligent Auto Data Capture (ADC) devices, on a laptop or on a robust tablet with internet access. ADC technology is integral to automate date entry, as it eliminates errors encountered during manual data entry. Trakaid’s new Logistics Solution will be introduced at gasworld’s Industrial Gas Conference in Singapore.

“The new automated Logistics Solution gives companies the tools, via intelligent data at point of use, to be able to better provide reliable, safer and faster cylinder delivery, and achieve a higher level of customer satisfaction,” said Girish Gupta, President, Technology Solution Partners, LLC, adding, “Better accuracy and safety translates to higher profits.”

The Logistics Solution works as an add-on with cylinder management solution and works seamlessly with Trakaid’s CyTrack Cylinder Management Solution. CyTrack is a web-based tracking system which gives companies the ability to view a current status of critical assets and assess their impact on business processes from any location.

Using this Solution allows a logistics team to validate each customer’s designated cylinder before delivery, and offload that cylinder from the delivery vehicle. When retrieving cylinders from a customer, the logistics team can mark a cylinder as physically damaged, view cylinders that are due for testing and check to see if a cylinder has been recalled. The Logistics Solution ensures these cylinders are returned to a central location for servicing before they are put back into operation. Further, the Logistics Solution provides the ability to transfer instantly actionable data to a central office.

Through the introduction of the Logistics Solution, Trakaid continues to design products that give its customers the best cylinder tracking Solution available. This helps customers raise their return on investment and thrive in the current business environment. With the add-on Logistics Solution, CyTrack’s benefits encompass all aspects of the cylinder business including receipt, production, testing, service, invoicing, delivery, ADC and logistics.
