CaptureTech RFID Wedge: Making RFID Easier to Install

Friday, March 14, 2008

RFID Journal published a brief news analysis of the new CaptureTech RFID Wedge, a device intended to make RFID easier to install (if all those e-learning courses aren’t working!).

Here’s the quick lowdown:

  1. The Wedge, developed by Baltimore, Md.-based Barcoding, Inc., is designed to make RFID technology “more accessible to users,” according to the Journal. Especailly those operating closed-loop auto-ID systems.
  2. The CaptureTech RFID Wedge sits between any EPC Gen 2 RFID interrogator and any computer with a USB port. There it filters out data and caputures the important stuff.
