RFID Innovator Omni-ID Unveils Service Bureau to Offer Flexible Tag Commissioning and Enhanced Customer Efficiency

Omni-ID Service Bureau Options Provide Clients With a One-Stop Shop for RFID Tags, Label Design and Data Programming


FOSTER CITY, CA--(Marketwire - October 14, 2008) - Omni-ID, a leading innovator in passive ultra high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, today announces the launch of several new Omni-ID service bureau offerings to simplify the deployment process for its customers. The service bureau options present end users and systems integrators with a range of commissioning service options for all Omni-ID RFID hard tag products, including the award-winning Omni-ID Prox™ tags, to provide customers with a deployable RFID solution straight out of the box.

Omni-ID's service bureau options offer a route to mass adoption by removing the customer burden of labor-intensive rigid tag commissioning. Omni-ID's innovative commissioning processes and its global supply network come together in the service bureau offering to provide a time-saving solution that meets customer needs -- while effectively reducing the overall cost of the RFID deployment. The Omni-ID tag commissioning process gives customers an encoded RFID tag coupled with a printed barcode label. This allows customers to integrate Omni-ID's RFID tags within legacy barcode systems and provides a stepping stone to RFID adoption across any industry.

Through the added value service bureau options, Omni-ID continues to remove conventional barriers to RFID adoption by simplifying deployment complexity. Omni-ID will grow to support additional options and services as the market requires them.

"It's always been our goal as a company to listen to what our customers want and then innovate to provide it for them," said Tom Pavela, President and CEO, Omni-ID. "We implemented the service bureau offerings in direct response to our customers' needs and have already successfully provided the value added service in a number of deployments. By offering a service bureau as a one-stop shop, we are able to improve time to deployment, save costs and offer unique flexibility for our customers. We believe Omni-ID has reached a significant milestone toward simplifying the RFID integration process from a customer perspective, and that it sets us apart in this industry."
