Surge in production deployments as Ubisense releases world's first UWB real-time location system certified for use in both US and EU
Cambridge, 20th Aug 2007. "Production
installations of the Ubisense Series 7000 system offer our customers much
greater range, lower infrastructure cost and a much lower sensor density than legacy
WiFi and active RFID solutions while offering an order of magnitude greater
accuracy", observes Udo Rieger, General Manager of eseg, the Germany-based
logistics security company. "We have been installing Series 7000 systems
at the rate of one production site a week, which is truly amazing in a
marketplace littered with failed projects. The Ubisense solution is the first RTLS
we have seen that can be installed and in production in our customers very
large distribution centres in days, enabling them to realise ROI in less than
12 months."
"The feedback from our customers and partners regarding the reliability
and increased performance of the new system has been fantastic, so now is the
time to make it generally available and to fulfil a growing backlog of
production orders", says Richard Green, CEO of Ubisense. "Ours
is the first solution which is both FCC- and CE-compliant, and is the first to
meet the ETSI EN302500 standard for UWB location systems, enabling us to
satisfy growing demand in both Europe and the US."
Raghu Das, CEO of RFID Industry experts
IDTechEx, comments: "With the RTLS market poised to grow significantly,
Ubisense's delivery of production installations is a real beacon for the
industry as a whole. I congratulate the Ubisense team on their achievements and
will watch them with interest as their customers realise enormous productivity
gains through use of their system."
