Revel, an entertainment resort and casino operating in Atlantic City, New Jersey, has selected the GIMS ultra-high frequency RFID uniform tracking system to control thousands of valuable garments worn by more than 5,800 resort staff members.

Working alongside White Conveyor’s automated U-Pick-It uniform delivery system, the GIMS system will provide 24-hour automated uniform distribution. By simply scanning their ID card, the U-Pick-It system will automatically deliver employee uniforms and record the transaction. 

The Basque National Health System has launched a neonatal security system designed to monitor and protect new-born infants using RFID technology.

When a pregnant woman is admitted to hospital, she is provided a tag with a unique identification which can be read in all the maternity zones. When the baby is born, an RFID tag specially designed for the new born is fitted to its ankle. The device monitors the infant 24 hours a day, detecting unauthorized movements, registering entries and exits to and from and enabling immediate location information. 

The Johnson County Library, Kan. will soon move forward on the installation of RFID equipment and adding tags to all of the books and audiovisual materials at the Corinth Library.

After evaluating a similar system at the district’s Antioch branch, the library is implementing RFID to improve the movement of materials, aiding staff to better manage inventory and reduce the number of lost or missing items. 

Mexico’s Federal Tolling Authority - Caminos y Puentes Federales de Ingresos y Servicios Conexos (CAPUFE) - has awarded a contract to system integrator Axiompass to install a toll-free system for residents using Sirit RFID readers.

As part of the arrangement, Axiompass will install exclusive lanes on three toll plazas allowing residents of five cities in southern Sonora State to be exempted from toll payment in that region. Residents will each use a REPUVE tag, which will automatically open the toll booth barriers when it is detected by an installed Sirit RFID reader. 

Leo InnoTech (LIT) and UPM RFID have carried out a large-scale item-level RFID implementation for a Chinese apparel company focusing primarily on warehouse logistics optimization.

Leo Paper Group, LIT’s parent company, supplied the printing and lamination of RFID hang tags with embedded UPM DogBone and UPM ShortDipole ultra-high frequency inlays from UPM RFID. 

Vaughan Public Libraries in Ontario, Ca. are in the final stages of implementing the Fastrac RFID system.

The Fastrac RFID will provide greater convenience to patrons, time savings for the staff and additional security for the library itself. Provided by the partnership between VTLS and mk Sorting Systems, the installation will include several self-checkout kiosks, staff stations, RFID gates, tagging stations, tagging wands and tags.

Vaughan started tagging over 500,000 items last August and expects to complete the installation process early this year.  

Pethealth Inc. announced the roll out of an ISO-standard MiniChip for use with companion animal RFID applications.

Approximately one-third the size of a standard microchip – which itself is roughly the size of a grain of rice - the MiniChip is designed to offer a smaller-scale alternative without compromising any of the protective benefits.
