HONEYWELL MEETS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR WIRELESS APPLICATIONS

Honeywell Introduces Wireless Barcode Scanners That Offer FIPS 140-2 Certified Encryption for Enhanced IT Security

Honeywell announced its line of cordless handheld image scanners are now independently
certified to meet the FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard)
140-2 security level required by U.S. government departments. Honeywell
is one of the first automatic identification and data capture (AIDC)
manufacturers to deliver FIPS-certified cordless handheld barcode
scanners.

Honeywell’s three
main cordless scanners—the 3820 Cordless Linear Image Scanner, 4820
Cordless 2D Image Scanner and 4820i Industrial 2D Cordless Image
Scanner—are now available with the option of a FIPS-validated security
module.

Government
specialist The Culver Group has relied on Honeywell cordless scanners
for several years to provide the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA)
healthcare facilities with reliable, high-performance data collection
technology.

“We needed a
manufacturer to take the initiative and implement FIPS into a cordless
scanner, which is exactly what Honeywell did, enabling us to help the
VA continue its IT security initiative and preserve the privacy of
their patients,” said Brian Czawlytko, Government Sales Manager at The
Culver Group.

FIPS 140-2
validation ensures that a specific security technology has passed
rigorous testing under the CAVP (Cryptographic Algorithm Validation
Program) and CMVP (Cryptographic Module Validation Program) by an
accredited third-party laboratory, and can be used to secure sensitive
information. FIPS encryption, while presently required only by the U.S.
government, is valuable to any business or organization where data is
transmitted wirelessly and there is a need for enhanced security.

“While required
solely by the U.S. federal government at this point, we see great value
in the ability to provide enhanced security capabilities to all of our
customers, even if it’s not a mandate in their industry,” said Don
Flynn, VP and GM of Image Scanning, Honeywell Imaging and Mobility.
“FIPS certification enables us to deliver an overall more robust
solution to the market.”

LXE Rolls Out Bluetooth Ring Scanner For Mobile Workers

LXE impresses the supply chain industry with the new, Bluetooth enabled, 8650 Wearable Bluetooth Device Delivers Comfortable Hands-Free Bar Code Scanning for Mobile Workers.

Mobile logistics
business LXE Inc., announced the
introduction of the new 8650 Bluetooth(r) Ring Scanner for use by
mobile workers in a multitude of supply-chain environments. The small,
lightweight 8650 ring scanner rests on the finger, with the Bluetooth
module worn comfortably on the back of the hand or the wrist. The
Bluetooth module pairs with any Bluetooth-enabled handheld, wearable,
fixed-station or vehicle-mount computer and reliably transmits critical
data from up to 30 feet away. This gives the operator the unprecedented
freedom of movement necessary to perform bar code reading tasks quickly
and in comfort.

“Bluetooth technology has opened up the opportunity to take another
step forward in providing data-capture systems that better serve the
needs of mobile workers,” says Richard Adams, LXE’s director of
strategy and marketing. “The 8650 Bluetooth Ring Scanner is the
smallest, lightest, most comfortable wireless scanner available today.
By combining our ring scanner module with Bluetooth communications,
we’ve created a hands-free scanning solution that’s quick and easy to
implement, and extremely comfortable to use.”

The 8650 weighs only 4.8 ounces — lighter than most cell phones.
While being compact and lightweight, the 8650 Bluetooth Ring Scanner is
“born rugged, not made rugged”(tm) with a tough magnesium housing and
specialized electronics designed for use in harsh industrial
environments. The entire system is sealed to IP54 standards and can
withstand multiple drops to concrete from up to 4 feet. It is available
in two scanning options; standard laser and 1D/2D imager and has
battery power to operate for up to 24 hours, delivering up to 17,000
scans on a single charge.

LXE’s Bluetooth EZ Pairing system allows the device to link to a
compatible mobile computer in a matter of seconds by simply scanning a
barcode, virtually eliminating the need to train operators. Out of the
box, it can be paired and in use by an operator in just a few minutes.

The 8650 joins LXE’s family of wearable and voice computing
solutions, and can be used with the full range of LXE computers
including the HX2 wearable computer. With the addition of the Bluetooth
Ring Scanner option, a new range of high-visibility keypads and a
low-profile arm-mounting system, the HX2 wearable computer can be
configured with a broad range of options tailored to the needs of
individual operators. “Customers are taking an increasingly
sophisticated approach to implementing ‘hands-free’ computing. Our
approach is to provide products that can be configured to closely meet
the needs of different operations,” says Adams.

RFID for Product Integrity: Radio Frequency Identification

RFID is an enabling technology, providing
many opportunities for a substantial return on investment (ROI). RFID technology offers a wireless, re-writable memory with open and securable read
and write data banks.

Value to the Manufacturer / Distributor

  • In addition to aiding Authenticity,
    Brand Equity, Channel Diversion, Consumer Safety, Liability, and Return
    Fraud, manufacturers can also capitalize on increased production and
    supply chain efficiencies with RFID.
  • In production, manufacturer and product identification information,
    along with unique serialization can be wirelessly programmed and
    scanned by local interrogators.
  • Complementing the manufacturer’s product and serial number,
    Alien® Higgs™3 RFID silicon chip offers the addition of a
    non-duplicable, 64-bit unique factory programmed authentication
    identifier.
  • The combination of the authentication identifier and the user defined memory serves as a non-refutable anti-counterfeit measure.
  • Often manufacturers commission third party regional contract
    production entities to fabricate product. Sometimes unscrupulous
    organizations fabricate more than that ordered by the manufacturer. In
    such instances, it is very difficult do discern between authorized, and
    unauthorized product, as both appear authentic.
  • By use of Alien’s Higgs3 authentication identifiers, the
    manufacturer queries, records and distributes sufficient RFID tags to
    meet the consigned order requirements. Any subsequent product not
    meeting the schema criteria is deemed counterfeit.
  • The authentication acquisition process is painlessly administered
    by passing the product in proximity to the RFID reader. And for many
    products, the contents within their intended packaging is easily read,
    as RFID acquisitions do not require line-of-sight.
  • In the event it should be required, the technology also provides an
    effective means to identify, contain, & recall products based upon
    production origin, safety, supplier, retailer, batch lots, or
    expiration.
  • The serialization process can be further enhanced by virtue of
    recording the authorized RFID enabled product in a common server (e.g.
    a serialization vault), and forwarding the aggregate contents to
    downstream partners.
  • Once consumed, the particular identity is noted as exhausted
    – any duplicate reads would signal a return, or potential
    fraudulent activity.
  • This process strengthens perceived Brand Equity and enhances customer loyalty.

Value to the Retailer

Return fraud in the United States ratcheted to $3.7 Billon in the
2007 holiday season. This not only depletes retail revenue, but the
result ends in higher consumer prices.

  • Extended user memory may be used to log the specific retailer, the date purchased and for returns, the price paid.
  • For service personnel, the extended user memory may facilitate warranty information, or prior repair history.
  • RFID enabled product also provides a mechanism for a more efficient
    supply chain, and a means to more quickly assess inventory status.
  • RFID enabled promotional shelving enhances customer service by
    allowing consumers to provide product details via a kiosk, which
    instantly provides availability information for the customer. In
    addition to enhancing the shopping experience, it reduces sales person
    intervention, and minimizes upkeep labor.

Value to the Consumer

  • Authenticity Confidence
  • Convenience
  • Customer Service
  • Brand Loyalty
  • Quick Inventory Search
  • Lower fraudulent activities result in lower overhead, and ultimately better customer value.

Wal-Mart / Sam’s Club RFID compliance

Wal-Mart had been trying to convert over to RFID since 2003. Originally, suppliers could not conform to the requirements and Wal-Mart remained tolerant of non-compliance. Nearly half a decade later, Wal-Mart is trying again to convert over to RFID, but this time through its Sam’s Club subsidiary.This January, Sam’s Club notified its suppliers of the new RFID requirements. By the end of 2009, all pallets and cases will be required to have RFID tags. By the end of 2010, all units will be tagged. Non-compliant suppliers will be charged by Sam’s Club $2-$3 per pallet. This shows that Sam’s Club and Wal Mart are getting serious about the RFID transition. Since Sam’s Club and Wal-Mart suppliers ship a high volume of product to them, the price per pallet for non-compliance makes RFID an obvious upgrade, which is sure to boost the RFID industry dramatically.

BaxTek Solutions was one of the first supply chain solution providers to offer an easily deployable cost effective solution to respond to RFID mandates. We can help suppliers meet any and all compliance requirements. We used Wal-Mart’s original RFID requirements and guidelines to build a customizable solution with integrated RFID capabilities into our existing Warehouse Management Sytems.

Whether you’re an existing Warehouse Management customer who wants to maximize the value internally from investments in RFID or a Sam’s Club supplier looking for a quick and reliable solution to meet Wal-Mart’s pallet, case and eventually item-level requirements, we can help.

Alien Technology spreads RFID to Daisy Brand

RFID industry icon, Alien Technology announced the expansion of its RFID services to Daisy Brand’s distribution centers in Texas and Arizona. Daisy Brand has been employing inventory RFID tracking since 2005. The 2008 expansion includes the installation of the Alien ALR-9900 RFID readers at the Casa Grande, Arizona and Garland, Texas distribution centers.

Kevin Brown, Daisy Brand’s IT director commented, “There is value and ROI with RFID. We’re taking what we have learned from the RFID data to derive value and provide business insight into what supply chain events occur, and when. Daisy’s use of
RFID has also improved customer satisfaction.”

Daisy Brand has outfitted forklifts with Alien ALR-9900 RFID readers.
The readers capture the EPC numbers of Alien’s Omni-Squiggle (R) Gen2
tags used on pallets. Data from forklift readers and fixed readers are
routed into Daisy’s ERP system for immediate information access from
the company’s factory and warehouse in Garland, Texas.

“RFID technology allows companies such as Daisy Brand to improve
real-time tracking of products, expiration dates and unique location,”
said Ronny Haraldsvik, vice-president of marketing and industry
relations at Alien. “Daisy is great example of dairy producer and
distributor making use of RFID within the supply chain to improve its
own inventory tracking and derive business benefits accordingly.”

Data about the product on a tagged pallet, including its type
and sell-by date isalso stored in the company’s ERP system.
When a truck arrives to pickup a load, the system will let that
driver know if he is picking upthe proper pallet. For example,
a pallet containing cases of product with an imminentsell-by date
would not be shipped to a far-away retail destination.
The reader at the portal will also alert a driver on his tablet PC
if he is loading the wrong pallet for a specific truck.

Daisy Brand first implemented Alien’s RFID tags, readers and
software in 2005 at its distribution center in Garland, Texas. Since
then, Alien’s products and support services from RFID partners have
enabled Daisy Brand to operate more efficiently by saving time and
increasing the visibility of products as they move from the company’s
warehouse in Texas to third-party facilities across the country.

In addition to hardware solutions, BaxTek also offered custom metal tags and inventory software applications to the landscaping market. Among these were packages from both Invetrak and Redbeam. The attendees were open to discussing their mobile bar code projects & inventory tracking software needs. We discussed barcode projects with companies from Orlando, FL to Oregon, and an instructive time was had by all.

Thumbs up

Hey everyone,

At long last we have a brand new wireless page! It features a nifty Flash animation and some very cool AJAX (that’s Advanced Javascript and XML, for those of you who are curious) navigation tabs, as well as some useful info. Many of you may already know that BaxTek offers the latest technology in wireless data collection, but did you know we also offer 3 levels of Wireless Site Survey to help you work out the kinks in your wireless network? Well now you do! Head on over and read up on it. The new Page would never have happened without a whole lot of help and info from Clint, so thanks Clint! What are you doing still reading this?

I would like to introduce Lorraine Guay our newest Sales & Systems Engineering Specialist.

Lorraine will be located in Southern California (Huntington Beach & Westminster Area) and working with customers on the West Coast. I am certain everyone will like Lorraine.

BaxTek Solutions & LVS Present the INTEGRA 9505 Offline Bar Code Verifier
Atlanta, Georgia
Integra 9505

BaxTek Solutions Inc. and Label Vision Systems, Inc. (LVS), announces a new line of bar code verifiers that can verify both linear (1D) and Matrix (2D) codes all on the same reading device. The read head attaches to the users own computer for a lower priced option to the well respected INTEGRA 9500 Bar Code Verification Workstation released by LVS over two years ago.

The INTEGRA 9505 Flat Bed Verifier, (FBV) can verify all commonly accepted bar and matrix codes with the same device; no changing read heads because of aperture size or symbology. The INTEGRA 9505 is an ISO compliant verifier and meets the specifications for 21 CFR Part 11 compliant ready, MIL STD 130M, and AS9132-A/ AIM DPM Cat 0 compliant. The INTEGRA 9505 is extremely operator friendly and displays the exact problem area with a code as part of the code grading analytical process and can grade several bar and matrix codes at one time. Free software upgrades extend the life of the system.
