MESA, AZ & PASADENA, CA -- RF Code, Inc. and Avery
Dennison Corporation (NYSE:AVY) announced that they will be hosting two
public demonstrations of the innovative Secure Strap security monitoring
and electronic seal technology at industry events last week. RF Code,
Inc., a premier designer, developer and manufacturer of active RFID technologies
and Auto-ID data management software, and Avery Dennison Corporation (NYSE:AVY),
a global leader in global supply chain technology solutions will showcase
the technology for the first time in advance of the product's general
availability in early 2005.
Delegates visiting the National Cargo Security Council's
"RFID in Real Time" conference December 5-7th in Long Beach,
CA and those attending Forrester's seventh annual "Emerging Technology
Showcase" December 8-10th in Scottsdale, AZ will have the opportunity
to see live demonstrations of the Secure Strap.
The new product leverages RF Code's TAVIS data management
platform, active RFID technology, and Avery Dennison's tamper sensor.
The Secure Strap tags contain electronic seal technology for tamper monitoring,
tracking, and locating of containers and other physical assets. Secure
Strap consists of a radio lock (an active RFID real-time locating device)
that is attached to a fiber-optic tamper sensor cable. If the cable is
compromised in any manner, Secure Strap will send out a radio distress
signal indicating its identification code and a tamper indication signal.
An encrypted reset key will allow reuse of the radio lock component of
the Secure Strap system.
"Avery Dennison is very pleased to introduce a tamper monitoring
solution built upon RF Code's award-winning hardware and software platforms,"
said Joe Miglionico, Business Development Manager for Avery Dennison's
Industrial and Automotive Products North America Division. "We are
currently using Secure Strap in Operation Safe Commerce (OSC) and the
applications in vertical markets such as transportation, logistics, security
and manufacturing are far reaching."
"Avery Dennison provides world class design and manufacturing product
development along with a global supply chain delivery capability,"
adds Rob Ufford, Vice President of Business Development, for RF Code.
"We are proud that Avery Dennison chose our technology to add to
its proven line of security solutions."
Avery Dennison is currently involved in a pilot program with the U.S.
Transportation Safety Administration to enhance security at the nation's
ports by implementing RFID-solutions that monitor container shipments
on ocean vessels.
