Zebra Case Study
The Florida State Attorney's 15th Judicial Circuit Locates Case
Files in Real Time Using RFID
Over the course of a year the Florida Office of the State Attorney's 15th Judicial Circuit
located in Palm Beach County typically considers 120,000 criminal cases for potential
prosecution. Of those, as many as 21,000 active felony case files come into the office each
year for review and process. The files move through a number of steps during the life of the
case, and can be transferred several times between divisions and offices throughout the four
floors in the 45,000 square foot building. Additional complexity is introduced when court
calendars change, or case hearing and trial dates are unexpectedly moved up. Keeping track
of such a large number of highly important files as they move through the court system is
very challenging.

Asset tracking evolves from accounting to accountability
Written by Dann Anthony Maurno, Editor-in-Chief
If you’ve watched CSI or Law & Order, you’ve seen some poor detective sitting through hours of surveillance video from a convenience store, or warehouse, or an ATM machine, looking for a clue in a few frames of footage.
Agonizing.
But when it comes to assets, we now have the ability to pinpoint the exact second of footage, and queue it up digitally, so that a detective or security officer sees when and where an item was last seen – even if the item is hidden in a briefcase or under a jacket – and who had it. That is the state of asset surveillance.

Read Range for Gen2 RFID in 2008? 40 Feet
Thursday August 14th, 2008
RFID solutions provider Simply RFiD posted an entry on its blog a few weeks ago entitled RFID Read Range: Just how far can RFID track something?. In it, Simply RFiD president Carl Brown reported the read ranges on Gen2 technology that his engineers have found consistently in recent months. Those ranges were long enough to prompt skepticism from some readers -- and to prompt RFID Update to interview Brown for more explanation. The result was a decidedly bullish view of where Gen2 technology performance stands today, and where it is going in the near term.

RFID World 2008 - Speaking At and Exhibiting At
Here's our outline for what we will be teaching at RFID WORLD
Asset Tracking 2.0: Using RFID to protect your assets
It takes a criminal twelve seconds to defeat a lock or fence. Yet, we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to create fences that only provide an illusion of security. Typical asset tracking only discovers items are missing. RFID allows us to track assets in real-time and create a virtual perimeter for tracking assets. This presentation will teach you how to tag any asset, the best methods and tricks for tracking assets, and provide a road map to secure your assets.
We will also have NOX-TM4 chips available in our booth.

RFID Spy Dust, the FBI...and You?
Wednesday, March 19, 2008 10:41 AM/EST
Information about a seemingly futuristic RFID technology development was sent to me earlier in the week by IndustryWizard.com - and it's definitely something I want to pass on to all those readers worried about the more Orwellian aspects of RFID. A company called Nox Defense has developed an "invisible perimeter defense technology" that combines high resolution video pictures and RFID tags to help users track assets and people in real time - without their knowledge.

Spy Dust Catches Thieves: FBI Says "No Comment"
March 11, 2008
Nox Defense has released an invisible perimeter defense technology, which combines high-resolution video pictures and radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, sometimes referred to as "spy chips", to track assets and people in real time. The system tracks people without their knowledge and allows security officers to see a theft as it happens, even if concealed inside a briefcase, under a jacket, or stuffed inside a sock. The FBI is among early adopters of the Nox Intelligent Perimeter Defense system, though has not released details how it will use the system.
