Wireless Edge Sensor and Event Monitoring is Fast, Accurate and Inexpensive using RFID Technologies

Wireless Remote Sensors leverage RFID to provide an inexpensive distributed network that alerts of tampering, smoke, fire, temperature, vibration, radiation, etc. Used for expensive or sensitive/secure product shipments, pipelines, refrigerated/frozen areas, smoke/fire detection and alerting, radiation detection and many other areas

Edge Sensor and Event Monitoring solutions provide real-time feedback, data and knowledge of what is occurring in the physical world real-time so decisions can be made as needed. Our RFID solutions have a plug and play infrastructure that supports up to 6 sensors on each RFID tag. Manufacturing custom batches of RFID tags with sensors is easily accomplished for rapidly deployed solutions.

Environmental Monitoring Sensors measure temperature, shock, movement, light, humidity, etc. Used for security when attached to an expensive asset to instantly alert when moved. The movement sensor can also trigger the RFID beacon, which extends the battery life, and ensures that the tag is tracked only when moving. Temp and humidity sensor tags can be embedded in perishable shipments and can actually track changes in conditions during transit, or at any time while enabled. Shock sensors can alert and record time and repetition of certain violent movements (measured in G's) to track when a shipment was damaged in transit to assign fault.

Safety Monitoring Stay out zones in manufacturing, staff access, hazard identification. Distance can be measured to alert when a child is out of the play area. Signals can be coupled to indicate when an unauthorized person is approaching a secure location. Trigger cameras and alerts by zone. Automatically unlock doors hands-free as employees approach secure areas. We couple the power of zone-based and sensor-based RFID to your existing applications for value-added automatic capabilities.

Activity Monitoring Managing the product lifecycle by installing sensor-based RFID onto products, tools and conveyances in the supply-chain to monitor throughput in your manufacturing plant. Use RFID-based sensors in the manufacturing process to alert to possible shock, heat, radiation damage to products prior to final assembly.

eChain uses a unique approach to maximize your RFID and network investments by using existing readers, triggers and active devices as sensors significantly lowering your cost of information "at the edge"
