Sun Trials RFID Asset Tracking

"Sun Microsystems Inc. on Wednesday launched the Sun RFID Industry Solution for Physical Asset Tracking, a combination of products and services meant to simplify the process of designing and integrating a radio-frequency-identification system for tracking physical assets. The application and business processes in the solution rely on RFID technology to determine the real-time location of critical assets and issue an alert when an asset being tracked is not in its assigned location. "We saw the need in our own facility to track assets," said Julie Sarbacker, director RFID business unit at Sun. Sun has more than 1,500 labs worldwide to support its multibillion dollar research and development efforts. To reduce costs and increase efficiencies, it has begun to consolidate its labs and found that it needs a better method of tracking its equipment." Source: informationweek.com
