Active RFID summit, 2006

Almost 3 years ago,  in the Active RFID summit (Atlanta, USA), we had a decent representation for Visonic Technologies – Tuviya Katz.
This is his presentation summary:

“Active RFID is in wide usage in health care. Till now, the trend has been to deploy single-focus, stand-alone safety solutions.

And, recently, asset tracking products are being both considered and deployed.

As a consequence of this a-little-at-a-time approach, senior healthcare management has failed to realize the full potential of Active RFID.

Healthcare is now starting to view Active RFID as a scaleable enabling technology rather than single purpose products or solutions.

This rethinking is shaping the worldwide drive to leverage the already in-place applications, the push to build-out existing infrastructure and the motivation to put into place new backend ERPs, patient care and other third-party options. As result of these international advances; unified risk mitigation and asset tracking solutions, built upon Active RFID has become both technically and financially feasible for the majority of healthcare facilities“.
