Radio Frequency Identification Technology for Logistics, Tagging and EPC

New Alien software can identify velocity, position of tags

Monday, April 14, 2008

Alien Technologies has introduced new software for its RFID tag readers. The software provides information on the velocity and position of tags, allowing it distinguish between adjacent tagged objects.

Real-world applications include the ability to differentiate between pieces of luggage moving together down a conveyer belt. Until now, readers’ inability to make this distinction often forced luggage handlers to use shielding materials between bags or increase the spacing between them.

Alien’s new software, a free update available for the models ALR-9900, ALR-9800, and ALR-8800, also has a flexible reader distance, ranging from just millimeters to 100 feet. [end]
