RFID in Education and Childcare By Analytica

Overview What is RFID? RFID Components ARIES Software RFID Applications Selling RFID Summary Sales Power Point Software Demo Q & A

What is RFID? R adio F requency ID entification RFID… Can hold more information Line of sight is not needed Read/Write Capability Secure

Components of an RFID System A MICROCHIP holds data as an EPC (Electronic Product Code) Transmit EPC A DC0 Tagged Asset Visualization of Equipment Personnel Patient movement in facility Data & Information Transfer to MIS/HMS/IT Systems

Requirements RFID systems generally need two things for implementation Network (wired or wireless) Power Existing wired / wireless networks may be sufficient, but usually they may have to expand on this infrastructure There are two areas of importance when using a wireless LAN for a RFID system Medium to High Coverage Signal strength

Hardware Barcode Readers Barcode Printers Handheld scanners RFID Passive tags RFID Passive readers RFID active tags RFID active readers Wireless tags Wireless nodes

RFID Tags Passive Tags No battery Range limited to 20 feet Read Only Active Tags Inbuilt battery Range – 100 to 150 feet Read/Write Capability Generally secure

RFID Readers Stationary Readers Doorways Vehicles Handheld Readers Warehouses Conveyor belts Anywhere needed

Capability Analytica is able to offer customers a turn key solution by packaging Software Hardware Barcode Printers Active and passive Tags Ongoing support

Our Value Proposition We can deliver customers Increased Visibility Increased Productivity Increased Security Creating a Fully-Aware System All this without increased headcount or IT resources..and with a ROI of 2 years or less

ARIES: Enterprise Visualizer Web based Visualizer that can monitor Material / Asset Locations & Movement Manpower/Equipment/Process Tracking Visual /Audio feedback for alert conditions Can control multiple Facilities, Locations, buildings, Floors, and Areas from a single central location Google Maps look and feel

ARIES can process information from disparate data sources, namely RFID tags, barcodes and manual data entry

Potential Uses Computer assets tracking and monitoring A/V Equipment University services Correctional facilities Inventory monitoring Visitor/Contractor Monitoring Visitor Red-flagging

Student Monitoring The students can have a bracelet or lanyard The staff will have badges Monitoring student within the facility and in the premises Managing the student-staff ratio Parents can monitor the movements of students over the Internet. Secure student check-in and check out.

Computer assets Laptops can be affixed with active RFID tags Larger items that do not move much can have long range tags Fixed or handheld readers Argus USB node that prevents the operation of the computers without authorization (right badge)

University Services Badges can be used for automatic access control into University locations Can be used for payment for food and other materials Library checkout Parking fees Self training

Correctional Facilities Inmate tracking within the facility Gang tracking Staff and Inmate locations Manage the jail process – showers, food etc. Anomaly and history tracking

Our Unique Selling Point Extremely flexible and scalable Can work seamless with existing and disparate systems like barcode Test out RFID benefits without huge upfront investment No risk associated with the early adoption of a cutting edge technology like RFID

Implementation Implementation Steps Small Pilot, verify requirements and ROI Divide the overall requirements into smaller projects Typical implementation is 6 weeks and for additional implementations is 2-4 weeks based on the complexity Analytica will provide one proposal for the whole project on a turn key basis and manage it from start to end. Coordinate or provide all hardware purchases Maintain the software Training Support is include in the software licensing
