“These systems uniquely track parts, tools, apparel, electronics, household goods, merchandise and other assets in real time with precise 3D location accuracy at distances previously considered unobtainable. Working with a Stanley Black & Decker company as our global distribution partner underscores our joint commitment to build out the Internet of Things (IoT) using our extensive patent library of zonal RFID technology as the foundation,” said RF Controls’ CTO and Chief Scientist Graham Bloy. “The technology of RF Controls is unique to the global marketplace, a product suite without peer competition, which will drive RFID adoption into industries and commerce of all kinds around the globe including aerospace, retail, manufacturing, logistics and distribution” Mr. Bloy continued.
“The joint venture will transform the passive radio frequency identification (RFID) market by providing real time location visibility of tagged items, in 3D, at distances far greater than previously imagined with accuracy levels of 99+%. This product offering will fundamentally change the way assets of all kinds are counted, monitored and managed while reducing cost, increasing efficiencies and revolutionizing supply chain visibility. This truly becomes the enabling foundation of the global Internet of Things.” said Tom Ellinwood, CEO RF Controls.
