With the Nox system, asset tracking becomes valuable information and gives us a competitive edge. Jose Ortega, Excel Manufacturing
What?
The DoD (Department of Defense) is moving towards RFID (Radio Frequency ID) tags on all items. Every item produced for the DoD will require an item-level RFID tag capable of broadcasting an RF signal 10’ allowing high-speed/accurate inventory.
Each RFID tag is unique and serialized for a specific item type (National Stock Number / NSN). When items are placed in a case/carton, they must be associated to an external case/carton RFID tag. And, when the cartons are palletized, the carton RFID tags must be associated to a pallet RFID tag.
Once the item-to-case-to-pallet association is complete, the RFID tag data is transmitted to the DoD.

How?
SimplyRFiD offers 3 solutions:
Case RFID Tag1. Pre-programmed RFID Tags from $1 - We provide tags next-day and you place the tags on your shipments. We help you figure out how to comply and walk you through the process of transmitting your data to the DoD.
2. Nox Online - For mid-volume Case-Pallet or low volume Item level (fewer than 1,000,000 items/year), our online solution allows you to produce tags and associate shipments.
3. Nox Enterprise - For maximum volume, our server solution handles millions of items/cases per year. Nox Enterprise downloads VIM-ASAP DoD delivery orders, produces the RFID item, case, and pallet RFID tags, associates these RFID tags to a DoD shipment using an ultra-fast and efficient RFID pack station or conveyor and a separate palletizer station or handheld, and sends shipment data back to the DoD – all in real time with no delays or batch processes.
You can order pre-programmed online or get a quote for a complete system here.
Expansion?
Nox is expandable to support an unlimited number of packing and palletizing processes by simply adding additional fixed readers or conveyor stations.
How do I know this will work?
Nox systems are currently producing millions of item RFID tags per month and it is the #1 item-level RFID system deployed by the Department of Defense suppliers. Regardless, we will continue to work until you are beyond satisfied or we will refund your money.
