RFCode

RF Code provides an active RFID-enabled infrastructure for both real-time asset management and environmental monitoring across the entire enterprise.

Using active RFID as the enabling technology to automate asset monitoring, RFCode's solutions eliminate the traditional costly, time consuming and inaccurate asset and environmental monitoring process. Our customers know, in real-time, precise and actionable information about the location, status and state of their physical assets.

Having such dynamic asset information instantly and at all times leads to better decision making about asset inventory. The result is better audit compliance, inventory accuracy, security and environmental status awareness, typically at a cost lower than any other solutions. Moreover, ROI usually is achieved within a year.

RF Code helps you to better manage the time and cost of managing your assets and monitoring the environmental conditions that surround them.  This is achieve by leveraging active RFID to produce wire-free, real-time, low cost and secure solutions that automate the asset management and environmental monitoring processes. 

RFCode solutions are:

  • Adaptive. Our solutions are comprised of components (tags, readers and software) that adapt to a customer’s specific need: From a wide variety of tag and reader form factors to software that is easily configurable to meet a customer’s asset management needs.

  • Efficient. While other companies build solutions based on science projects, RF Code concentrates on developing the most efficient technology.

  • Low Cost/Quick ROI. RF Code solutions are “one and done.” Once you’ve deployed RF Code, that’s it. No having to scan tags ever. Plus we offer the best price points in the industry combined with tags whose batteries have a very long life.

  • Secure. Our solutions are closed loop, for added security.

  • Open. Our solutions are based on open technology standards and support open standards for easy integration.

     

 

Wire-free Asset Management:

All RF Code asset tags feature encoded radio transmissions, low power consumption for long battery life and reduced maintenance costs, and superior anti-collision technology for high-tag densities. Tags can include motion and tamper detection sensors, customisable beacon rates, and a broad variety of mounting and enclosure options. Form factors include:

  • General purpose tags for use with virtually any asset

  • Compact and thin tags used for tracking laptops

  • Rack tags that ensure clear signal transmission in high-density rack and data centre deployments.

  • Badge and wristband tags for tracking and monitoring personnel

     

Wire-free Environmental Monitoring:

Ideal for monitoring in real time the environmental conditions in IT dense areas such as data centers and offices, RF Code’s completely wire-free approach to environmental monitoring is an affordable, flexible alternative to traditional wired environmental monitoring solutions. RF Code eliminates the “hard-wired headache” by offering a more efficient, flexible approach to tracking and alerting environmental conditions in real time. Solution components include:

  • Door tags for monitoring and reporting door status, enabling you to track enclosure access

  • Dry contact tags for monitoring and reporting the open and closed states of dry contact-based devices

  • Temperature and Temperature/Humidity Tags to monitor temperature- and humidity-sensitive assets in IT racks

  • Fluid sensor tags for real-time leak and fluid detection

  • PDU tags for power consumption and utilisation monitoring


Readers:

RF Code’s family of active readers are used in a variety of environments and situations that call for asset tracking and environmental monitoring. When deployed in concert with RF Code asset and sensor tags, our readers give customers an unparalleled asset tracking and environmental monitoring solution that provides real-time environmental data and location precision for all tagged assets, from the rack-level, through the room-level, to the extended enterprise. Our readers are easily installed and work well in both wired and wireless network environments.

 

Infra-red Devices:

RF Code manufactures infrared (IR) signalling units designed for use in real-time location service solutions.  When deployed in concert with IR-enabled tags  these products  -- the A740 Rack Locator, and the A750 Room Locator -- provide a method of locating tagged assets with room- or rack-level precision.  Each RTLS device transmits an infrared pulse pattern containing a unique 4-digit location code.  IR-enabled tags monitor their environment for incoming IR signals and periodically report both their own unique ID and the applicable IR location code.  Tag transmissions are processed in real-time to quickly locate and identify tagged assets, providing real-time  room- or rack-level accuracy.  Coverage zones are limited by solid physical structures such as rack doors and walls, however IR transmits within line-of-sight, and signal bouncing effectively floods a coverage zone with the location code.

 

Centralised Software Management:

RF Code’s Asset Manager and Sensor Manager products provide complete real-time asset management and environmental monitoring solutions. Each product works in conunction with RF Code’s tags and readers, providing up-to-the minute information about asset locations, movement, security and environmental status, without requiring any manual labour to gather this information.

With Web 2.0-based user interfaces, Asset Manager and Sensor Manager give customers the flexibility to easily configure the solution according to their organizational needs and reconfigure when those needs shift.

Customers with previously deployed solutions can quickly and easily integrate RF Code’s real-time asset management and wire-free envrionmental data into their solutions using RF Code’s Zone Manager. Zone Manager software is a real-time location engine specifically designed to simplify the integration of RF Code’s asset tracking and wire-free environmental monitoring solutions with third-party solutions. And Zone Manager comes pre-loaded with integration modules for industry leading solutions-including IBM Websphere Premises Server, IBM Tivoli Maximo, APC NetBotz, and Microsoft Biztalk RFID.
