RFID Roundup - Thur Aug 10/06
PricewaterhouseCoopers is using AXCESS' RFID-enabled RTLS (Real Time Location System) ActiveTag(tm) asset management system in their Mexico City office to track valuable equipment such as laptops and other portable items. The ActiveTag system will help them reduce losses and thefts by notifying the tracking system when an asset has been moved outside of a particular zone.
Smart Medical Technologies is now offering a line of RFID-embedded medical laboratory equipment including cryo-vials, test tubes, patient wristbands, blood and IV bags, and more. Each item has an accompanying read/write device to passively power the RFID chip. The equipment is in compliance with the HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).

The Spanish Armed Forces (SAF) are now using the RFID-enabled Savi Consignment Management Solution (CMS) from Savi Technology (part of Lockheed Martin Corp).
