LAKE FOREST, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- October 23, 2006 -- Vue Technology, the leading provider of
item-level RFID solutions, today announced that EPCglobal Inc™ has
awarded its software certification mark to the newly announced third
generation TrueVUE™ RFID Platform for item-level retail initiatives.
EPCglobal Inc is the not-for-profit standards organization dedicated to
driving global adoption of the Electronic Product Code™ (EPC) for supply
chain excellence. Vue Technology provides end-to-end solutions for
item-level tracking throughout the supply chain.
The certification mark ensures that EPC/RFID software products have been
tested and will work in predictable ways when processing data from Gen2
tags. The mark is awarded by the EPCglobal Software Certification Program,
a standards-based compliance testing program that provides a neutral and
authoritative source for testing EPC/RFID software and providing
information regarding certified products and the vendors who manufacture
them.
"EPCglobal's certification is another testament to Vue Technology's
commitment to providing leading-edge technologies that deliver business
value to item level initiatives," said Robert Locke, CEO of Vue Technology.
"We have just announced the third generation of our RF networking platform
and product line and continue to lead the industry with proven solutions
that produce measurable ROI for retailers."
"By choosing software with an EPCglobal Software Compliance Certification
Mark, the end-user can be confident that the software will perform
according to defined EPCglobal standards," said Chris Adcock, president of
EPCglobal Inc. "With this information readily available, they will have
more time to focus their resources on completing pilots and capturing
information."
To receive the software certification mark, the TrueVUE RFID Platform had
to pass rigorous testing conducted by MET Laboratories, a third-party,
nationally-recognized testing facility located in Baltimore, Maryland in
the United States. The mark is a stylized form of the EPCglobal logo and
includes an 18-digit Global Service Relation Number (GSRN) that is globally
unique to that specific software product.
A listing of certified software products, vendor profiles, and other
resources are available to EPCglobal US Subscribers. To subscribe, or to
