Techsolutions - leading RFID asset tracking solutions using GPS and RFID
technologies.
RFID and
Barcode Solutions That Work |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Techsolutions (Pty) Ltd is a leading provider of
solutions for tracking notebook (laptop) computers, IT assets, and returnable
supply chain assets such as pallets, crates, bins and containers. Our asset
tracking and asset management solutions are used by government, leading
multinational and corporate companies. We are based in Pretoria, South Africa.
Our SmartAsset solution is popular for asset management and supports barcode and
RFID. SmartAsset also has an asset protection module which sends alerts when
assets are moved or removed inappropriately. Our Express Lane solution is used
for tracking vehicles in security, access control, parking and tolling
applications as well as weigh bridge automation.
Our asset tracking and asset management solutions utilise technologies such as
barcode, passive RFID (LF, HF, UHF), active RFID, RTLS and GPS. We have
integrated RFID tags, RFID readers, scanners and printers from leading
international vendors into our solutions. We carry a substantial range of
barcode and RFID tags, suitable for tagging assets made from various materials
including metal, plastic glass and wood. These RFID tags are popular in the
mining and petrochemical industries where the dusty and dirty conditions make
barcodes difficult to read.
Our services include all aspects of system life cycle: business consulting,
readiness assessment, business modeling, project management, software
development, systems integration and testing, hosting, support and maintenance.
Techsolutions is a voting member of the SABS steering committee on
auto-identification (barcode and RFID) as well as a member of EPCglobal South
Africa.

Projects and Status |
|
Asset Tracking Projects |
We have implemented SmartAsset at a number of sites:
- A major franchisor doing asset tracking in real time using active UHF RFID.
- In the security industry where the main focus is the protection of assets and an
alarm is generated when an asset is moved or used inappropriately (Active UHF
RFID)
- Asset Tracking in the mining industry for maintenance purposes (Passive UHF
RFID)

Tracking Pallets and Bins |
|
Techsolutions has encoded the first EPC (Electronic Product Code) RFID tag in
South Africa and supplied more than 16,000 pallet tags to a client who started a
new pallet pool. The RFID tag performance allows the pallet to be read while
loaded on a truck and moving through a gate. Our SmartPallet asset tracking
solution tracks pallet movement in real time.

|
Asset Tracking and Productivity
Management |
|
Our Productivity Management solution has been piloted for open cast coal mining and the sugar
cane industries. It allows the real time measurement of haulage tons by tracking
all haulage equipment.

Shipping Container Tracking - NEW! |
|
Techsolutions has recently decided to expand its solutions to include RTLS (Real
Time Location Systems) RFID technology for asset tracking. After evaluating
offerings from many vendors, Techsolutions will commence the practical testing
in 2010.

|
|
Library Book Tracking - NEW! |
|
Techsolutions has recently been contracted by a leading library software vendor
to supply a suitable RFID tracking solution which will expand their current
product offering. The project is targeted for completion in 2010.

|
Laptop Tracking and IT Asset Tracking |
|
We have implemented Laptop tracking at a number of sites to protect laptop
computers from being removed without the rightful owner being present. We
provide both active and passive RFID solutions. For asset protection we
recommend active RFID as it provides a more secure solution than passive RFID.
Passive RFID tags can easily be thwarted by just holding your hand over the
passive tag. Unlike passive RFID tags, active RFID tags also provide a tamper
function to alert when the RFID asset tag is removed from the asset.

|
Access control and weigh bridge automation |
Techsolutions provided the first passive UHF RFID solution for automating weigh
bridges on a public toll road, for the Bapong Overload Control Centre, just
outside Rustenburg.
RFID tagged vehicles are identified while travelling at speeds in excess of
120km/h when passing over a high speed weigh bridge. More than 20 readers are
used to control the movement of RFID tagged vehicles through the centre.

Our VIP View solution has been so popular at conferences for personally
welcoming delegates by RFID tagging their badges, that we have also integrated
this solution with the CRM (Customer Relationship Management) solution of
Microsoft.

Parking and vehicle tracking - NEW! |
|
While having developed our EasyPark solution in 2002, we have only now secured
the first implementation for a large client having 10 sites. The project is
targeted for completion in 2010.
