Signals Commitment to Automatic Identification and Mobile Solutions
Warrendale, PA and Marseille – June 15, 2005 –TAGSYS (www.tagsysrfid.com), the global leader in item-level RFID infrastructure, announced today that it has joined AIM Global, the association for Automatic Identification and Mobility. AIM Global works to increase the understanding and adoption of Auto ID, RFID and enterprise mobile computing through education, standards, and cooperation with other leading industry associations. Started more than 30 years ago, AIM Global is the voice of Automatic Identification and Mobility technologies such as bar code, RFID, and enterprise mobile computing.
As a member of AIM Global, TAGSYS will join other leading companies who are committed to the growth of automatic identification and mobility solutions through industry standards development, advocacy and the support of a global channel network.
TAGSYS is the global leader in item-level RFID infrastructure that provides select market sectors with RFID systems for end-to-end item-level tracking that automates labor-intensive processes, authenticates and safeguards goods, and enables real-time inventory and asset visibility. The company is one of the few to offer end-to-end item-level solutions (providing chips, tags, antennas, readers, software, integration, etc.) and virtually 100% readability.
"Standardization is one of the key milestones towards maturity of RFID," said Elie Simon, president and CEO of TAGSYS. "Item-level tagging using RFID technology will continue evolving in the market and TAGSYS looks forward to working with the eco-system of companies in the Automatic Identification and Mobility industry and AIM Global to enhance standards around the technology."
In an industry that has been clouded by years of hype and over-promise around RFID, TAGSYS has focused its technology and business resources on delivering realistic and appropriate solutions in markets that are ready to reap the benefits of item-level RFID solutions. The company’s membership in AIM Global is a firm signal of its support for the organization’s goal to provide accurate information about RFID that assists customers in evaluating RFID solutions.
"We applaud TAGSYS’ commitment to partnering with us in the development of standards and educational materials for Automatic Identification and Mobility technologies. Its participation in AIM Global is a strong indication of its support of our technologies to ultimately help companies in multiple industries become more competitive while saving time and money," said Dan Mullen, AIM Global president.
