STEMCO LP and AXCESS Sign Business Agreement
DALLAS, TX, March 1, 2006 — AXCESS International Inc. and STEMCO LP are pleased to announce a recently-signed business agreement between their companies to work together in the development of RFID based solutions for heavy-duty commercial vehicle fleets.
These solutions will utilize semi-active tag technology and hardware from AXCESS that will be seamlessly integrated with STEMCO’s BAT RF active RFID mileage and tire pressure data collection sensors. Future products utilizing these combined capabilities are in development and planned for release in 2007.
“We are very excited about working with an industry leader like STEMCO to bring best of breed RFID products to the trucking industry,” said Allan Griebenow, president and chief executive officer of AXCESS International. “Our Semi-Active RFID architecture is perfectly suited for providing on-demand sensor data to STEMCO’s customer base.”
BAT RF by STEMCO focuses on creating high-value RFID-based sensor solutions to enhance safety, reduce costs, and improve maintenance efficiencies for heavy duty commercial fleets across North American markets.
AXCESS’ patented ActiveTag™ RFID systems use small, battery powered tags (generically called “semi-active” tags) that when automatically activated, transmit a wireless message typically 30 to 100 feet to hidden palm size receivers. The receivers are connected via standard network simultaneously to the enterprise system software, the existing security alarm equipment, and standalone management software. Optionally, the tag system can be used to trigger security video recording and live remote video transmission. The tags are used for a variety of enterprise productivity applications including automatic personnel access control and tracking, automatic vehicle access control and payload management, automatic asset management and protection, as well as special purpose sensing. Automatic email alerting and paging is offered for rapid response to security related incidents. More information is available from the company’s web site at www.axcessinc.com.
