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.
  
Improved Customer Service
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.
  
Tire Tracking - NEW!
While the application for tracking tires have been mentioned many times, working technology has only become available in the past 12-24 months. Techsolutions will be doing practical testing in 2010.
