EDGE has entered the RFID market, and is providing solutions for a large spectrum of applications.

Across the globe, highly sophisticated data management systems track inventories, control quality, automate accounting, and try to keep track of the fast-moving business world. These systems rely on accurate data collection - not always possible with labor intensive approaches, or even barcode systems.  

EDGE introduces RFID systems for a broad range of applications to better manage your Supply Chain.  EDGE software, coupled with RFID technology is the latest innovation in warehouse and asset management. 

Reliable and cost-effective, proven RFID technology provides the dependability needed for high volume scanning applications and eliminates the need for manual sorting, recording, and checking. Labor and error costs are reduced. Throughput and shipping accuracy are increased. Managers on both ends of the Supply Chain gain the visibility to make better decisions based upon complete and up-to-date information.

RFID CLASSES

There are essentially four (4) classes of RFID technology.  Each has a strength and weakness, and a different price tag.  Each also has specific applicability throughout the different industries.    

Class 1
Short range Passive for Slap and Ship Logistics.  Good for high volume retain applications where the cost of the tag should be very low.

Class 2
Same as Class 1, but the tag has on board memory.  This may provide additional shipping (customer) information, other than the simply ID number provided by a Class 1 RFID tag.

Class 3
Battery Assisted Passive for long range asset tracking and real-time location management.  These tags typically cost in the $5-$10 range and are designed for Asset Management of equipment.  Typically, these systems are used by manufacturers to track expensive product or tooling.  They have long range (up to 300m) and have a long battery life.

Class 4
Active Battery with active transmitter.  These are the most expensive class of tags and systems.  The tags constantly transmit a signal, and as a result have short battery life spans.  They are used for very high value logistics items.

Each class requires a thorough Discovery to best determine the suitability to an application.  EDGE can help you disseminate which system will work best for you.
