New Intermec IV7 Brings Customers First Gen 2 RFID Forklift Reader

Intermec Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UNA): -- First RFID reader
specifically created for vehicle-mount applications --
Multi-protocol capabilities support EPCglobal Gen 2, Gen 1 and
ISO-based RFID systems -- ISO 18000-6 version now available for
order Intermec Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UNA) today announced the
first-ever EPCglobal Generation 2 (Gen 2) RFID vehicle-mount
reader. The new multi-protocol Intermec IV7 Intellitag(R)
vehicle-mount RFID reader reads Gen 2 tags from multiple
manufacturers in mixed populations of tags based on all major
global RFID standards, including EPCglobal Gen 2, Gen 1 and ISO
18000-6b, with a migration path to the emerging ISO 18000-6c
standard. The IV7 joins an expanding family of Generation 2 RFID
readers from Intermec and is designed to interface serially to
Windows-based, vehicle-mounted computers such as the Intermec CV60.
Both the CV60 and the IV7 are built to withstand the rigors of
harsh, industrial environments and are sealed to IP65 ratings. The
wireless capability of the CV60 combined with the snappy reads of
the IV7 mean that warehouse management systems can be automatically
updated with location status as a truck moves through RFID
tag-equipped zones and with shelf-location data as a pallet of
goods is dropped off or retrieved. The CV60 can command the IV7,
equipped with a location tag-sensing antenna, to scan for RFID tags
when a pallet is picked up. The IV7 captures not only the location
of the pallet pick-up, but also through what doorway it passed, the
path the forklift traveled and where the pallet will be placed. The
vehicle-mount system provides flexibility when reading tags from
areas that are not near the location of a fixed reader and offers
cost advantages in environments where the number of dock doors is
significantly larger than the number of fork trucks. The IV7 can
individually control up to four antennas, giving it the ability to
perform optimally in different RFID environments, including reading
pallet tags for shipping/receiving applications, warehouse
shelf-location tags for directed put-away applications, case tags
for pallet-building applications and asset-tracking tags. "In early
2005, ABI Research detailed how multiple companies are looking at
reducing repetitive tasks in order to reduce costs, by equipping
forklifts with RFID in small end-user environments," said Erik
Michielsen, director of RFID at ABI Research. "Given that reader
networking, power and packaging issues are properly addressed for
the specific end-user environment in question, RFID-enabled
forklifts offer an opportunity for end-users to reduce investment
in reader infrastructure without compromising capability." The IV7
increases operator productivity by eliminating manual scanning or
keyboard entry. The reader also generates automatic, real-time
confirmation of movement, reducing operator time and errors.
Coupled with carton and pallet RFID tags, a vehicle-mounted IV7
reader can enable the visibility of mobile assets by a management
system, thus increasing capital asset utilization. The Intermec
forklift reader system incorporates SmartSystems(TM), the Intermec
intelligent remote services delivery platform that communicates
between an Intermec system console and devices to identify, track
and manage supply-chain assets anywhere in the enterprise within a
secure, smart and seamless environment. The IV7 supporting ISO
18000-6 is now available for shipment worldwide. A multi-protocol
version supporting ISO, EPC Gen 1 and Gen 2 will be available in Q4
2005. About Intermec Intermec Technologies Corp., a UNOVA Inc.
