RFIDTraxx LLC announced today that it will participate in the MIT Enterprise Forum’s
AUTO-ID & SENSING SOLUTIONS Expo to be held on October 27, 2009 at the MIT Stata Center in Cambridge MA.
RFIDTraxx LLC will showcase two of its products, DocStaxx and AssetTraxx, at the show. DocStaxx is a real time
document tracking solution that allows for the tracking of individual documents in a folder. Using a parent/child
relationship the location and history of a document and its folder can be found at all times. AssetTraxx is designed
for the real time tracking and location of assets of any size in a building. The use of an active RFID tag allows
for rooms of any size to be easily monitored.
Both products are designed for ease-of-use at an affordable price point, combining the power of the Microsoft® SQL Server®
with RFID tags and readers. Whether the item to be tracked is a single sheet of paper, computers and peripherals, medical
devices, or any other asset, the solutions allow for a flexible method of monitoring those items along with an easy way
to upgrade the system as needed. These systems are totally scalable and can be customized to individual requirements.
DocStaxx uses RFID tags and readers from Magellan Technology, a 13.56 MHz solution that uses Phase Jitter Modulation and allows
the close stacking of RFID tags that cannot be accomplished by any other RFID system available today. AssetTraxx uses 2.45 GHz
active tags from Ingecom to give excellent performance at a price level that is hard to match.
The software is web-based allowing anyone with the appropriate permissions to interrogate the system (either through an internal
network or via the Internet). The use of SQL Server, a widely used database server, allows for easy integration with existing
systems if required, while giving the standalone system tremendous power.
“Both systems are unbelievably powerful and yet allow the user to implement them at a small scale and grow as their needs grow”
said Steve Halliday, an RFIDTraxx partner. “The MIT forum is a great place to introduce AssetTraxx and showcase these products”.
“The Auto ID, RFID and sensor markets are moving along so many paths, we wanted to bring together the broadest range of RFID,
sensor, NFC, wireless and networking technology companies to help explore industry and business opportunities for the region.”
added Tom Coyle, one of the event’s program managers. “We are happy to have RFIDTraxx LLC participating in the event.”
RFIDTraxx LLC announced today the introduction of DocStaxx, its new document
tracking software using RFID. DocStaxx, designed for ease-of-use at an affordable price point, combines the power of
the Microsoft® SQL Server® with Magellan Technology's Phase Jitter Modulation (PJM) RFID reader to allow the tracking
of documents in any environment and in any position.
The DocStaxx system is ideal for use in law offices, mortgages companies, insurance companies, banks,
hospitals, medical offices, and similar types of businesses where the retention of paper documents is
essential. These types of companies require efficient and accurate tracking of valuable, signed and original
documents for the purpose of locating and securing, in real time, documents for legal, accounting, and privacy issues.
The software is web-based allowing anyone with the appropriate permissions to interrogate the system
(either through an internal network or via the Internet). The use of SQL Server, a widely used database
server, allows for easy integration with existing systems if required, while giving the standalone system
tremendous power. Magellan's PJM High Frequency (HF) RFID technology, StackTag®, is the only RFID technology
with the ability to communicate with RFID tags even when they are stacked without any separation. This important
attribute, unique to StackTag technology, enables the reliable tracking of original documents, including
single page documents, on desks, in folders, on shelves, or in archive boxes.
"DocStaxx combined with Magellan's PJM RFID technology eliminates the problems normally associated with tags
that are touching or overlapping," said Steve Halliday, an RFIDTraxx partner. "PJM allows hundreds of
RFID-tagged documents to be read and located accurately, in real time, without any loss of performance."
DocStaxx is a highly adaptable system that was developed to accommodate companies of all sizes and requirements.
The DocStaxx system provides a migration path for companies to implement on a small scale and expand the
system as its needs grow.
"We've created an easy interface for the user to add, find, view, checkout, archive, and shred documents,"
added Joe Lemieux, an RFIDTraxx partner. "No other document management system can identify and locate
stacked or filed documents like the DocStaxx system, and that's essential when handling important documents.
Having instant knowledge of the location of a document and its history can save millions of dollars in today's
businesses."
Magellan offers a wide range of document control specific PJM StackTag labels and
dedicated reader products.
The MDOCR-2505 Document Tray reader is a full PJM RFID reader in a typical office
in/out tray form factor. It will read up to 100 tightly stacked RFID-tagged documents within the tray. Most
folders and documents are kept in cabinets or on shelves for storage and access.
Various filing cabinets and bookshelves are used, and these can all be fitted with Magellan MARS readers and bookshelf antennas to enable
the constant monitoring of all tagged documents and folders.
The MARS-24 reader can operate up to 24 single or 12 bookshelf antennas which are used to locate documents and folders on individual shelves of a
document cabinet. Such a configuration allows up to 100,000 documents to be managed and monitored remotely
with a single reader.
The PJM RFID-based Document Management System dramatically speeds up the process of
archiving documents.
With Magellan's MSTRP-5050, a high performance 3-D tunnel reader, archive boxes containing
more than 10,000 RFID-tagged documents can be reliably identified and processed in only a few seconds. Magellan
RFID readers contain a full embedded RFID Operating System and can be directly connected to the IT network
using Ethernet or USB.
All products are in mass production, ROHS-compliant and fully certified for CSA/UL, FCC, CE, Australia and Canada.
Magellan Technology’s - PJM RFID
products
November 5, 2007
Magellan Technology announces the release of a full range of Phase Jitter
Modulation (PJM) RFID products targeted for document control applications. Only Magellan’s PJM StackTag®
technology, which complies with the international standard ISO/IEC 18000-3 Mode 2, has the ability to
communicate with RFID tags even when they are stacked without any separation. This unique attribute enables
the reliable tracking of original documents, including single page documents, on desks, in folders, on shelves,
or in archive boxes.
Keeping track of original documents once they are signed and kept as evidence is important due to legal and
auditing purposes. This is especially vital at law firms, financial institutions, hospitals, government
offices, and pharmaceutical companies, as well as educational institutions for tracking documents such as
original exam papers. Original documents often travel from department to department, and as they are handled
by more and more people, the likelihood of their being misplaced or lost increases dramatically.
Only Magellan's unique PJM StackTag® technology can effectively communicate with hundreds of tightly stacked
tags that have virtually no separation, like RFID tags on single page documents. Today all other RFID tags stop
working when they are next to each other and could not be reliably used for document tracking. The PJM
anti-collision protocol allows users to reliably manage more than 16,000 tagged items, pages or files, per
reader at identification speeds of 700 tags per second.
"There is a growing worldwide requirement for a technology to efficiently locate and track important,
original and signed documents for legal or auditing purposes," said Bodo Ischebeck, Chief Executive Officer
of Magellan Technology. "Today only PJM's unique StackTag RFID technology is able to reliably monitor and
track thousands of documents throughout the office and archive environment even when single page documents are
tightly stacked."
Magellan offers a wide range of document control specific PJM StackTag labels and dedicated reader
products. The MDOCR-2505 Document Tray reader is a full PJM RFID reader in a typical office in/out tray form

dedicated video clip is available on the Magellan website that demonstrates the use of PJM RFID products
for document control applications.
