"The pharmaceutical industry is one of the leaders in exploring RFID applications, and we see our wireless vehicle management capabilities fitting extremely well within the industry's long-range strategic vision for RFID." About The Wireless Asset Net The Wireless Asset Net consists of intelligent wireless devices installed on powered industrial vehicles (such as fork trucks and pallet movers), a patented communication infrastructure, and client-server software for access control, utilization analysis, real-time location tracking, and many other functions. The system is designed to improve industrial workplace safety and security by restricting vehicle access to trained, authorized operators and by providing electronic safety inspection checklists. he system is designed to reduce maintenance expenses by automatically uploading vehicle data, reporting vehicle problems in real time, scheduling maintenance according to actual vehicle usage rather than on a calendar basis, and helping plant management determine the optimal economic time to replace equipment. The system is also designed to help improve productivity by ensuring equipment is in the proper place at the right time and by providing management with unique reports on vehicle utilization. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Networking News :: home page |
