Earth Times (PRNewswire): LUSTENAU, Austria and DALLAS, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- IDENTEC SOLUTIONS (www.identecsolutions.com) announced today at the TOC Americas Conference in Buenos Aires, Argentina that its industry-leading active RFID technology has been selected by the Tecon Santa Catarina (TSC) terminal in Sao Francisco do Sul, Brazil and DPW Tarragona, Spain for truck identification and automated job promotion integrated with their GPS and Terminal Operating Systems.
IDENTEC SOLUTIONS, in conjunction with SIMEC, a local Madrid, Spain based system integrator, deployed the active RFID based solution including; long-range tags, readers and integration software. IDENTEC SOLUTIONS' tags are affixed to all internal transport chassis. RFID readers are mounted on all containers handling equipment and integrated with the DGPS based Position Determination System. At the quay, the container and ITV/chassis IDs are input to the Terminal Operating System. As a transport vehicle and chassis approach a reach-stacker in the yard, the tag is read and the PDS sends a message to the Terminal Operating System to automatically promote the job for the container on the chassis. The Terminal Operating System then downloads the job to the PDS and the task is executed and automatically confirmed. The automated job promotion solution eliminates data entry, increases productivity in container handoffs and improves safety.
The most recent deployment was completed at the TSC facility in Brazil in July 2009. An identical system was installed for DPW Tarragona in February of this year. Previously, the system was installed for Termavi de Vigo, in Vigo Spain.
