(openPR) - The FCP Tracker™ Series RFID (radio frequency identification) technology to provide revolutionary advancements for tracking information, inventory, inspections, and records—Patents Pending—
FRANKLIN, PA - February, 2007 – Kicking off the new year, FrenchCreek Production has officially unveiled its next generation RFID “TRACKER” System, providing a groundbreaking advancement to dramatically improve the future of tracking information, inventory, inspections and records.
The 2nd generation “TRACKER”, along with FrenchCreek’s initial industry breakthrough, was primarily designed to bring the most modern tracking technology to the fall protection industry. After all, FrenchCreek Production is a manufacturer specializing in quality fall protection and rescue/recovery systems. But the truth is, the “TRACKER” System goes far beyond the fall protection industry!
“It has become very apparent, with the launching of the 2nd generation “Tracker”, that this technology can be used in many different ways, by many different companies,” says Carl Wible, President of FCP. “It is inevitable that the “TRACKER” technology goes beyond the fall protection industry, as we extend to meet the needs and desires of the RFID market as a whole. We have recently had numerous inquiries from major companies, inside and out of our industry, concerning the function ability of the “TRACKER” System. For instance, a large construction company will not only use the “TRACKER” in their FCP fall protection equipment, but they will also place the tracking chips into or onto all of their tools! The wide array of inquiries, along with the positive feedback, proves the extreme demand for this product!”
About the “TRACKER”:
The “TRACKER” RFID chip is inserted into FCP’s safety equipment during the manufacturing process. Outside of FCP’s product line, the chip can be inserted or permanently attached to nearly anything. All pertinent information can be permanently stored on the chip, including: Model Number, Serial Number, Types of Materials used, the Date the equipment goes into service, etc. This information cannot be altered from the field. The chip and all inclusive information is virtually impervious to contaminants such as dirt, water, grease, paint, dust, and a host of other contamination possibilities.
Once the “TRACKER” is in service, any Safety or Tracking Specialist may continue to input necessary information onto the chip. This can include the Name and Information of the person the equipment is issued to, Care and Maintenance information, Inspection information (previous inspections, next inspection date, next ten inspection dates, etc…), or any other type of pertinent data. At that point, the chip becomes an independent information center that can retain the entire history of the product, according to your needs and specifications.
The tracking features allow for numerous problems to be solved in the field: Simply scan the chip with the handheld PC and Scanner attachment, for continued accountability of the product, reduced risk of theft, accuracy and efficiency in record keeping, and fast, easy operation in comparison to hand-written records. As the product or tracking information compiles, an entire equipment history log can easily be printed at the request of any OSHA, Safety, or Tracking Inspector.
