Advanced ID Develops Tire Product Authentication Solution Based on SkyeTek RFID Reader Technology
Advanced ID Corporation (OTCBB: AIDOmessage board stocks) and
SkyeTek, Inc. announce that Advanced ID Corp., a complete solutions
provider in the RFID market, is leveraging SkyeTek's reader technology to
develop an asset tracking and authentication solution that protects tire
manufacturers and fleet management companies against tire shrinkage and
counterfeiting. These challenges are two of the industries top issues as
they not only drive up the cost of distributing tires but also decrease
vehicle fuel efficiency and reliability.
"Low cost solution devices and systems are expected to lead the way for
migration to the era of tire RFID," said Dr. Patrick King, Global
Electronics Strategist for Michelin. "This is particularly true for
commercial tires and applications, and the publishing of global tire
standards recently (AIAG B11, Tire and Wheel Data Standard and ISO 17367
Embedded RFID Standard) have helped to set the stage for adoption."
Advanced ID solves this problem with the help of SkyeTek by embedding RFID
tags into tires, allowing manufacturers and fleet operators to keep better
track of inventory and authenticate tires to prevent counterfeiting.
Advanced ID makes UHF tire tags, tire patches and a full line of ruggedized
handheld and stationary readers based on SkyeTek's M9 UHF SkyeModule.
"Our tire tracking solution has been adopted by industry leaders in tire
manufacturing, fleet management, and tire retreading," said Dan Finch, CEO
of Advanced ID. "We are able to provide the market's leading tire
management solution because of our intellectual property and help from
technologically advanced partners like SkyeTek."
"Advanced ID is yet another innovative organization that we have partnered
with to enable new applications for RFID technology," said Rob Balgley, CEO
of SkyeTek. "Counterfeiting is a major threat to the tire industry and
directly impacts consumers in a negative way, particularly during the
summer months when the roads are busiest. Working with partners like
Advanced ID enables us to help organizations leverage embedded RFID
technology to help solve this problem before it gets worse."
