SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - December 10, 2009) - Leading UHF Gen 2 radio frequency
identification (RFID) technology provider Impinj, Inc. today announced that
Rush Tracking Systems has selected the Speedway® Revolution reader for
the VisiblEdge™ RFID lift truck solution. VisiblEdge is a complete,
turnkey solution ideally suited for industrial manufacturing and
warehousing operations supporting business processes such as WIP tracking,
automated shipping and receiving, returnable container tracking, waste
management and other hands-off asset tracking applications. To enhance
real-time inventory accuracy, the VisiblEdge solution automatically
captures product or asset identification and location information without
operator interaction.
Chosen by Rush Tracking for its compact size, top-rated performance and
rugged design, the Speedway Revolution reader recently passed rigorous
Mil-Std-810G tests, which certify products for use on industrial vehicles
in a wide range of extreme conditions including vibration and shocks up to
50 Gs. "As an important achievement for any product that will be used in a
strenuous material handling environment, the Mil-Std-801G tests clearly
highlight the unmatched quality and first class design that has gone into
the Speedway Revolution reader," said Scott Andersen, vice president of
professional services at Rush Tracking Systems. "With this level of testing
and certification, our customers feel confident that the Speedway
Revolution reader will complement VisiblEdge's reputation as an accurate
and reliable inventory tracking solution."
Launched in September, the Speedway Revolution reader features
Autopilot™ technology, which sets new standards in RFID reader
performance, ease-of-use and rugged reliability. Impinj's patented
Autopilot technology continuously and automatically optimizes the reader
for its operating environment to deliver peak performance at all times. For
lift truck applications in particular, RFID system performance depends upon
many ever-changing environmental conditions, including RF interference
levels, tag density in the reader field and ambient RF noise. Autopilot
delivers optimal reader performance while eliminating the need for manual
tuning. "We are pleased with the rapid acceptance of the Speedway
Revolution reader in the marketplace," said Kerry Krause, vice president of
marketing at Impinj. "Rush Tracking's experience in delivering high quality
and reliable RFID solutions coupled with Speedway Revolution's performance
will provide customers with an excellent lift truck solution."
