Axcess International Inc., a provider of RFID and video surveillance systems for physical security and supply chain management, and GlobeRanger, a provider of RFID, mobility and sensor-based software solutions, have partnered to integrate AXCESS’ ActiveTag RFID products with GlobeRanger’s iMotion Edgeware platform. The partnership will provide capabilities for incorporating active, passive and sensor-based systems within one solution and managing the infrastructure for enterprise-wide, multi-site deployments, the companies say.

AXCESS’ active RFID tags and sensors can enable businesses to monitor, control and track personnel, assets, inventory and vehicles and deliver tag data over the network to GlobeRanger’s iMotion Edgeware platform. Sensor data such as temperature, pressure and motion can now be incorporated with data from passive RFID systems to give users a complete operational view.

AXCESS’ ActiveTag RFID system uses an embedded battery in the card-sized, electronic “tag” for extra-long range identification. Each tag transmits at UHF frequency band to palm-sized, network-based receivers from 18 inches up to 700 feet away, depending upon the antenna used.
