Steria, Neology partners to bring RFID solutions to India

Thursday, March 3, 2011

Steria and Neology announced a partnership to bring RFID solutions to the Indian market. The two will focus on developing RFID solutions for various areas including vehicle and people identification and health care amongst other areas.

The combination of Neology’s RFID technology integrated with IT services from Steria looks to bring India improvements in the country’s transportation infrastructure, addressing the Government’s already accepted need for an electronic tolling system.

The duo will also design and deliver solutions for India’s pharmaceutical industry, providing a method to track the movement of critical drugs and medicines – avoiding expired drugs, guaranteeing correct use by the correct consumer, and cracking down on counterfeit drugs. [end] 

India recently opened its first RFID-based electronic toll collection (ETC) plaza at Chandimandir in Haryana’s Panchkula district.

The technology enables road users to make toll payments without stopping at the plaza and, in turn, reduce traffic congestion and commuting time. With the new electronic system, toll statements can also be obtained online so that users that need a receipt do not have to stop at the toll plaza.
