DULUTH, Ga., March 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- FEIG
ELECTRONICS, a leading global supplier of RFID readers and
antennas, announced today its partnership with Congruex (formerly
CCLD Technologies) to combine passive UHF RFID technology and
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Services for capture asset
location.
The partnership was created to meet the demand for a faster and
more effective solution in the automotive industry. The location
system provides drones equipped with FEIG's RFID readers. The UAV
reads a passive UHF tag placed on the dashboard of the vehicles and
correlates the data to the GPS coordinate of where the vehicle is
located in a vast staging lot. The information is then wirelessly
transmitted to a cloud-based system for personnel to quickly locate
a specific vehicle required for delivery. Other use cases have been
identified to read and locate assets at ports and construction
sites.
"The manual process for a worker to park the vehicle and record
a car's VIN number to a parking space was inefficient and slow and
the infrastructure required for a real-time location system (RTLS)
proved to be too costly," said Brett
Burke, Vice President of Congruex Business Development. "Our
new Passive RFID UAV Solution solves the problem for the automotive
industry, developing a quick, innovative, method to identify and
correlate vehicle to parking space that saves time and money and
provides flexibility."
Our drones (or UAV) are equipped with FEIG's MRU102 reader
designed for wireless communication with transponders according to
the air interface standard EPC Class1 Gen2 combined with the FEIG
ANT.U270/270 circular polarized antenna allowing the identification
of transponders in different orientations.
"We are excited to partner with innovative companies like
Congruex, who have twenty years of proven ability to develop new
and improved integrated solutions, to solve the industry's
technical and logistics challenges. Their know-how and our fifty
years of experience building state-of-the-art, great performing
RFID products is the perfect partnership for a successful
implementation," said Manuel Haertlé, Senior Product Manager for
FEIG ELECTRONICS.
