Axcess Launches Industry's First Smart Wireless Sticker

(Top News, 9 Apr 2008)

Wireless business activity monitoring solutions provider Axcess International Inc. has launched the industry's first Smart Wireless Sticker, which provides automatic item identification, locating, tracking, protection, data logging and condition sensing for items from up to a distance of 1,000 feet away at a cost of less than $10 each. The "wireless computer on a sticker" combines traditional bar codes, Electronic Product Code (EPC) RFID, long range RFID tracking and wireless sensing in a small electronic label easily adhered to most any object. It is designed to enhance data management in product manufacturing, product automatic identification in shipping, automatic inventory and protection of enterprise assets and visibility into the condition of perishables and pharmaceuticals throughout the shipping process.

Axcess' newest application, based on its proven Dot micro-wireless technology platform, will be demonstrated at the annual RFID Live Conference and Exhibition in Las Vegas on April 16 to 18.

Not only has Axcess introduced a wireless computer in the form of the industry's first Smart Wireless Sticker, but also it has developed the smallest wireless computer to combine the following technological capabilities in just a price point under $10:
- Printing on the sticker for visual identification;
- Bar code application for short range manual identification;
- Electronic Product Code (EPC), which is the standard passive wireless RFID communications supporting applications in the retail supply chain including the Wal-Mart mandate;
- Long range active wireless communications for automobile identification, tracking, sensing and protection;
- Short range active wireless read/write manifesting that tracks the history of equipment repair;
- Temperature sensing, data logging and wireless transfer of the condition of produce, IT equipment and other temperature sensitive items.
