Fujitsu, Positek pair for garment tracking solutions

Wednesday, April 14, 2010

Fujitsu announced a strategic partnership with Positek RFID that will integrate the Fujitsu WT-A511 RFID tags into the Positek line of garment tracking solutions.

The WT-A511 RFID tags are durable, able to withstand hundreds of washings in harsh chemicals associated with dry cleaning, temperatures reaching up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for drying or ironing, and the pressure of uniform pressing machines.

The soft and flexible Fujitsu tag is less than two inches long, about the size of a shirt stay, and has a read range of up to six feet.

This partnership hopes to enable hospitality, textile maintenance, and garment/linen rental industries, to more quickly, accurately and cost-effectively monitor their inventories. [end]
