WirelessDevNet.com Press Release
CAPE Systems Releases Version 2.06 of Its RFID Tag Locator Software for Tag Placement Analysis
SOUTH PLAINFIELD, N.J., March 2 -- CAPE Systems
Group, Inc., a leading provider of software technology for packaging design,
RFID asset tracking, pallet optimization, inventory and warehouse management,
supply chain execution and order fulfilment, today announced the release of
Version 2.06 of its RFID Tag Locator software designed for RFID tag placement
analysis and pallet-reading optimization.
This latest release of RFID Tag Locator incorporates a variety of new
features and enhancements:
Document Types and Multiple Document Interfaces -- The new software now
handles two basic file types -- case data and pallet data. In conjunction
with this change, the application now allows multiple documents to be viewed
and edited at the same time. This change further allows cases and vials to be
defined as standalone objects. These objects can then be added to a pallet or
container to build a single SKU or mixed entity. By allowing pallet objects
to be stored separately, multiple pallets can be defined containing one or
more case or item.
Extension past a simple Case-Pallet System -- The new software is designed
to model more than just cases and pallets, including items such as vials and
containers. For this reason the software allows the definition of the base
unit to be a box, cylinder or pyramid of any size, so that cases, vials and
single items can be more closely modelled. Likewise, the use is not just
confined with pallet building -- mixed-item trays can also be built and
modelled.
Image Overlays -- All single objects (cases, items, vials etc...) can now
have an optional image overlaid onto any or all of their faces. This allows
product graphics to be shown in conjunction with tag locator data. This in
turn proves to be very useful when considering the final location for tag
placement.
Mixed SKU Pallets and Containers -- The new version fully supports mixed
SKUs.
Pallet Visualization Options -- The pallet reading screens now offer a
host of visualization options such as:
View Cases that have been read -- a simple option that hides all cases
until they have been read. As they are read, they appear in real-time.
View Cases that have not been read -- a simple option that shows all
cases until they have been read. As they are read, they disappear in
real-time.
View Cases as read by selected antennas -- Shows cases appearing as they
are read, but not as they are color-coded to represent the antenna they
were last seen at.
View Read Counts of each Case -- Shows cases appearing as they are read,
but now color-codes the cases according to how many times the tag has
been read.
To support this additional functionality, a new Pallet Reporting section
has been added that allows printed reports to be generated.
Gen 2 Support -- Gen 2 tags are now supported, initially via Alien, Symbol
and WJ readers. Other reader drivers will be upgraded to support Gen 2 in the
new few months.
HF Support -- HF (13.56Mhz) tags are now supported. This initially means
ISO-15693 tags, read using a Sirit HF reader.
Active Tag Support -- Active Tags from RF Code are supported.
Metric vs. Imperial -- User preferences now allow the selection between
metric and imperial measurements
"Increasingly, the biggest challenge of the RFID supply chain today is tag
placement," comments Peter Ayling, CAPE's Vice President for Worldwide
Marketing. "Tags placed in the wrong location will lead to poor RFID reading
results, which for many mean a failure to meet mandate compliance."
CAPE is offering the RFID Tag Locator to end-users of RFID, resellers and
to system integrators who include tag analysis as part of their revenue
generating services.
