RFID solutions for industrial applications

Why RFIQ?

The successful deployment of RFID technology involves complexities that require expertise and "real world" experience to solve, in order that the full benefit of RFID technology can be exploited to provide a solution that generates value.

There are a number of compelling factors that differentiate us from our competitors, including:

Technology independence – our bedrock

RFIQ maintains and regularly reviews relationships with technology vendors from around the world, constantly evaluating new developments and announcements to identify technologies and products that may be deployed for the benefit of our customers. Although RFIQ has preferred partnerships with a small number of selected RFID product vendors, we also recognise that each application will usually have specific requirements that are best met by selecting the most appropriate product at the time of development. RFIQ actively promotes this approach to ensure our customers get the best solution for their application, and not simply the easiest solution for us to develop based on our existing product and technology experience and intimacies.

Structured testing and development – our knowledge capital

An holistic approach to RFID system design and development is critical to ensure that deployed solutions will operate reliably and effectively. This approach requires a structured testing methodology in which each and every component of an RFID system is carefully evaluated in the intended application environment, allowing effective system optimisation and characterisation. RFIQ is one of the leading test houses in Europe; our structured testing methodology comprises a set of proprietary templates and processes that provide a sophisticated ‘toolbox’ to build, test and characterise prototype RFID systems. This approach to structured testing has also allowed us to amass a comprehensive database of product performance characteristics, which we exploit when developing and deploying our systems, to ensure risk and cost are minimised. Our testing is conducted at our dedicated Test and innovation Centre where we can evaluate most operational scenarios.

Experience and expertise – our breadth and depth

The successful deployment of RFID technology involves complexities that require expertise and "real world" experience to solve, in order that the full benefit of RFID technology can be exploited to provide a solution that generates real value and competitive advantage. With extensive product, market and technical knowledge of all leading RFID technologies, we apply our experience and expertise to craft a high performance system suitable for specific applications, reducing risk and cost, and minimising the impact on operational disruptions and working practices. Our solutions are individually designed and optimised for the intended purpose, and will thus generate value regardless of the catalyst (which could be supplier mandate, or an internal business case).
