PeakWorks, a Canadian provider of fall protection equipment, training and inspection services, has begun adding high-frequency (HF) RFID tags to all of its products, ranging from harnesses to anchors and lanyards. The RFID tags will be utilized to keep tabs on the products from manufacture to the point of sale and beyond, to help ensure these items are regularly inspected—as well as repaired or returned in the event of a recall.
The company, headquartered in Vaughan, Ontario, is employing an RFID system known as Field ID, provided by N4 Systems in Toronto. The Field ID system includes Psion WORKABOUT PRO G2 handheld mobile computers with 13.56 MHz RFID interrogators, HF tags complying with the ISO 15693 protocol, Tracient Technologies handheld 13.56 MHz interrogators that plug into a desktop computer's USB port, and secure, Web-enabled software hosted on servers at N4's offices.
