CAEN UHF RFID readers deployed in Finnish RFID Lab

Viareggio, May, 10th 2005   

UHF RFID readers produced by the European reader manufacturer CAEN have been deployed in the RFID Lab Finland opened in February 2005. CAEN’s Finnish integrator partner Vilant Systems designed and built the demonstration systems together with CAEN. The Finnish lab is built around logistics applications of RFID technology.

For CAEN this is one of the first external Lab environment deployments of their new products. The Lab has been welcomed by the Finnish industry since is presents an easy and concrete way of exploring the power of RFID technology applications.

Vilant Systems consults and supports Finnish customers in the application of CAEN RFID technology.

RFID Lab Finland is an application centre specialising in Radio Frequency Identification. It is situated at the Technopolis technology centre near to Helsinki-Vantaa international airport. A group of leading technology enterprises including Nokia and Hewlett-Packard have begun promoting this project, which is part of the Vantaa HiTech programme. The first stage of the project will be a concrete demonstration venue where the possibilities of RFID may be displayed and developed to suit the needs of Finnish industry.

The aim of RFID Lab Finland is to help potential Finnish users of radio frequency identification technology to appreciate its possibilities and limitations. RFID technology improves the efficiency of logistics, for example by automating transmission and reception functions and enabling precise monitoring of consignments. RFID Lab Finland has eleven member enterprises employing RFID technology in Finland, and this project will promote closer collaboration in the RFID sector.
