DAP Technologies and Silent Partner Technologies Team Up to Develop Long-Range RFID in a Rugged Handheld Device The DAP 2240X rugged handheld computer from Silent Partner Technologies is equipped to track high-value assets with an RFID range of up to 200 feet
Tempe, Ariz. and Tarpon Springs, Fla. Integrating RFID active-tag technology with a range of up to 200 feet in a rugged handheld computer, DAP Technologies and Silent Partner Technologies have teamed up to provide a comprehensive solution for inventory management. The active-based technology in DAP’s 2240X can now utilize long-range RFID applications from Silent Partner Technologies. Users can inventory hundreds of high-value assets in a matter of seconds—even in harsh climates and challenging conditions. It also has asset locator functionality, which helps guide a user to a specified item through a series of audible tones and visual cues on the display. DAP’s 2240X uses active-frequency identification (RFID) tags, which are battery powered and can be reused. With settings between 0.5 second to 60 seconds, the tags can be programmed to send a beacon to the device, allowing for quick inventory. Readable at a long range, the tags allow inventory to be taken without scanning bar codes or physically accessing each item. Tags can be in a completely different room or be located up to 200 feet outdoors. “The rugged engineering of our computers was a perfect complement for Silent Partner Technologies’ innovative software,” said Gianni Parisse, general manager of DAP Technologies. “The 2240X offers a solution that saves time, operates effectively in even the worst weather, and is so efficient that a customer can perform numerous reconciliation counts throughout the day.” There are many applications for the RFID solution using DAP’s handheld 2240X, ranging from industrial, manufacturing and commercial sites to healthcare facilities and public safety. “Basically any organization that needs to keep track of its high-value assets can benefit from this system.” said Ted Kostis, president of Silent Partner Technologies. “We’re pleased to partner with DAP to offer this inventory solution to our customers.” The RFID tag and reader supplier for the DAP 2240X is Identec Solutions, Inc.
