FileTrail aims to secure evidence using RFID

Wednesday, August 19, 2009

FileTrail has launched a new RFID-enabled solution for collecting, logging and managing evidence. The RFID Evidence Management program creates an unalterable log that traces each piece of evidence from collection to disposal, thereby guaranteeing a secure chain of custody, according to FileTrail.

The new system uses RFID to track and record where each piece of evidence has been, who has accessed it, and when it was returned. A user can access the system through any browser and search for items based on case number, evidence, type, date, officer, or any other custom field.


For added security, FileTrail allows users to install alarms on doors and building exits to protect evidence from unauthorized removal.

According to FileTrail, the RFID Evidence Management system can cut evidence handling and tracking time by more than 80%. [end] 

Hilcorp Energy Company, headquartered in Houston, has begun using FileTrail’s RFID-based records management solution to track and manage their files.

With 125 employees, the FileTrail solution has made checking files at Hilcorp easier than previous implementations, which used manual processes including a pen and paper on a clipboard kept in the facility’s file room.
