TraceTracker, a leader in traceability and asset trackingsoftware is using CAEN RFID as supplier of RFID technology for use in a new software solution for the construction industry.

In March of 2011, TraceTracker unveiled a new web-based system calledTraceTracker Asset that tracks tools, equipment and vehicles in near real-time. The system follows equipment movements on project sites and between projects using a combination of RFID and GPS technology. Each unit is marked with a simple tag and ID number that can be tracked automatically by radio-based
reading devices (RFID) mounted on containers and vehicles. Online interfaces with maps and reports enable users to cut costs by reducing slack time, project delays and theft.

The system is made possible by a number of partners and suppliers including CAEN RFID. Data capture is enabled by the Shepherd Platform from Telenor Objects. The local data capture is designed and provided by HRAFN AS, the leading RFID specialist in the Nordics. Technology from CAEN RFID and Owasys ensures robust and secure functionality, all assembled to a plug&play unit by
Profi AS. The data capture process follows industry standards, such as the use of EPCIS from GS1.

“CAEN RFID was chosen as the reader supplier because of their robust serial-based protocol that enabled HRAFN to construct a robust appliance with little of source of errors and 24/7 operations that can last for years” said Victor Varan, CEO HRAFN.

“TraceTracker and HRAFN were able to perfectly combine our RFID technology with the GPS one to obtain an internet-based service with user-friendly interface. Now the construction industry has a powerful tool to save money” said Luca Nardini, Sales Manager at CAEN RFID.

“The leading RFID products and expertise from CAEN and HRAFN helps us make asset tracking as effective as possible for our customers” said Geir Myrold, Head of Nordic Region at TraceTracker.
