Announcing the new Presence Software suite from Northern Apex. In recent years Northern Apex has seen an increased interest in tracking employees, contractors, and visitors while they are on company premises. Two major areas of focus we have been helping companies with are labor tracking to increase productivity and safety mustering applications for emergency situations. In response to these customer needs Northern Apex developed the Presence Software Suite with specific breakout modules addressing the different facets of workforce labor tracking and personnel safety measures.

The RG500 Mini Handheld RFID Reader
Over the years, we have heard customers say that standard RFID readers were too bulky, too heavy, and too expensive. We listened to our customers, and developed the RG500, a mini handheld RFID reader that displays RFID tag information right on the LCD screen. In addition, the RG500 has Bluetooth capability, which can connect it to a mobile app and provide access to additional information from the parent system.

The price is substantially lower than typical RFID readers. It is so cost effective that you can equip all of your in-house employees and field employees with one if they need to use a reader during the course of performing their jobs.

Controlling Temperature and Humidity for a Cabinet Maker

Challenge
A large cabinet maker needs to monitor and control the temperature and humidity throughout many rooms in a large production facility. Manual environmental readings of the entire plant were conducted periodically throughout the week.

Solution
Using a wireless system equipped with temperature and humidity sensors to capture and send environmental data back to a Modbus-based host system eliminates manual data collection.

Whether you're buying tomatoes or technology, it doesn't make sense to buy more than you'll use.

That's why it's important to carefully review the differences between RFID and Barcode/Data Matrix technologies.

Tired of the wrong products getting on the wrong truck and going to the wrong customer?

By RFID tagging your product you can verify each item in a box/case/pallet. Our RFID solutions can automatically create a ship list and an Advance Ship Notice (ASN) to let your customer know what is in the shipment and that it's on its way. If chargebacks are a problem for your company, RFID can virtually eliminate them by automatically comparing the order with the ship-list before it leaves your facility.
