KanooPIP products use RFID, or Radio Frequency Identification technology. Radio frequency (RF) technology is commonly used to transmit and receive information without wires. A wide variety of electronic devices such as television, radio, and wireless telephone use radio frequency technology to transmit or receive information.

KanooPIP RFID solutions use modern wireless technologies to help your business track inventory and equipment. A KanooPIP RFID system is composed of an RFID reader, a standard Windows based PC, and RFID tags or transponders. The RFID tag is attached or placed inside of the equipment or inventory. KanooPIP RFID tags contain micro electronic circuits that store product information. The tags transmit this information to a remote RFID reader.

Whether you are concerned with tracking inventory in a warehouse or maintaining a fleet of vehicles, there is a clear need for a fully automated data capture and analysis system that will help you keep track of your valuable assets and equipment.

KanooPIP RFID technologies provide unique solutions to difficult logistical tracking of inventory or equipment- particularly in applications where optically based systems fail and when read/write capabilities are required. The technology is stable, and evolving, with open architectures becoming increasingly available.

The optical nature of barcode requires labels to be "seen" by lasers. That line-of-sight between label and reader is often difficult, impractical, or even impossible to achieve in industrial environments. In order to function properly, a barcode reader must have clean, clear optics, the label must be clean and free of abrasion, and the reader and label must be properly oriented with respect to each other. RFID technology enables tag reading from a greater distance, even in harsh environments.

In addition, the information imprinted on a barcode is fixed and cannot be changed. KanooPIP RFID tags, on the other hand, have electronic memory similar to what is in your computer or digital camera to store information about the inventory or equipment. This information can be dynamically updated.

• No line of sight requirement.
• The tag can stand a harsh environment.
• Long read range
• Portable database
• Multiple tag read/write.
• Tracking people, items, and equipment in real-time.

Recent developments in extremely miniaturized integrated-circuit (IC) technology have allowed for the development of miniature and intelligent RFID tags. In the past RFID active tags have been large and have had a short life due to large demand for power. KanooPIP low power active tags that use the latest technologies, have a long read range combined with the long life and reliability of passive tags.

KanooPIP RFID readers use the latest VLSI integrated circuit and computer technology. This has allowed us to develop RFID readers that are compact enough to be positioned in control panels, or adjacent to other processes.

The core of the system is built around the RFID tags, RFID readers, host computer, and Windows based software. Each tag sends its data periodically. The RFID reader will cross-reference the tag's data within its self-contained database. After the reader receives new data, it will send the data to the host. The readers and the host communicate through a secure wireless link.

KanooPIP RFID systems have multi-tag capability. This means a KanooPIP RFID system can read several tags in the field at the same time. The read range between the tag and the reader is 100 to 140 feet. A single reader can cover a total area of up to 30,000 square feet. The KanooPIP RFID reader's wireless connection to the host computer has a range of approximately 500 to 1000 feet.
