IDENTEC SOLUTIONS to Launch Its SensorSMART Platform at CeBIT 2011

LUSTENAU, Austria and DALLAS, Feb. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- IDENTEC SOLUTIONS is pleased to announce the release of their ground-breaking SensorSMART Platform.  A first in the wireless sensor industry, IDENTEC SOLUTIONS combines the power and functionality of three different technologies into one robust, feature rich network.  

The number of technologies available to businesses is virtually limitless.  Finding the right one to manage an organizations specific needs can become an extraordinary investment of time.  Not only that, selecting one type of technology can often limit the type of applications that can be integrated or developed into a particular radio frequency network.  Traditionally, active RFID technology was recommended primarily for the rapid identification of persons and objects, while real-time location systems were more specialized in localization and positioning.  Wireless sensor networks were used to read and manage measurement, control temperature and other environmental values. IDENTEC SOLUTIONS effectively combined all the features of each into one platform.

"It is a difficult and expensive exercise to implement functional extensions to existing infrastructure," states Gerhard Schedler, CEO of IDENTEC SOLUTIONS. In an effort to specifically address this, IDENTEC SOLUTIONS developed a robust and versatile platform that combined the positive features of three powerful technologies, eliminated the less desirable functionalities of each to deliver a solution that grew with a customer's existing infrastructure and their changing needs.  

Multiple solutions: One Platform

The SensorSMART Platform is an entirely scalable wireless network that meets the highest standards for asset management, process automation and personnel safety in many sectors including the oil, gas, mining & tunnelling, military, marine, intermodal & logistics industries.

The platform utilizes intelligent sensors which offer unwavering reliability in extreme environmental conditions to effectively monitor temperature, light, humidity, vibration, motion, and more.  By providing a network of highly accurate real-time information, the SensorSMART Platform can deliver an advanced level of business intelligence through the use of numerous applications that are easily leveraged from it.  The potential deployment possibilities of the IDENTEC SOLUTIONS' SensorSMART Platform are virtually endless.  Further innovation is contributed through, "i-APP", a dynamic web based software by technology partner INSYNC to provide the ideal tool for rapid application development and integration.

For the first time since its release, the SensorSMART Platform will be demonstrated live.  Visitors at CeBIT 2011 will be able to observe in person the diversity of applications suited to the SensorSMART Platform.  Guests can witness the SensorSMART Platform in action at the HYATT North America Bar as BEVERAGE METRICS showcases their "Drink that Thinks" application.  

The entire BEVERAGE METRICS solution was developed using only IDENTEC SOLUTIONS' SensorSMART Platform and the web based i-APP software from INSYNC. The goal of the "Drink that Thinks" system was to enable more transparent and continuous inventory management to help eliminate loss through the use of real-time reporting and alerts.

"The hospitality industry can attribute a 20 percent loss of revenue directly to the over pouring or misplacement of bar alcohol," comments Gerhard Schedler. "This solution leverages the SensorSMART Platform to deliver a system that effectively addresses the needs of the hospitality industry on a global level."

Additional demonstrations at IDENTEC SOLUTIONS CeBIT booth include real-time temperature and environmental monitoring, distance measurement and analysis, process automation applications, and more.  Be sure to visit booth C10 in Hall 7 and learn how IDENTEC SOLUTIONS is changing the way we manage a wireless world.
