VisiblEdge

VisiblEdge from Rush Tracking Systems is an innovative RFID lift truck package that maximizes tracking efficiency by providing real-time operational visibility with automatic RFID data collection. VisiblEdge combines state-of-the-art application software, RFID hardware, and positioning technology on lift trucks. It enables unprecedented granularity for identifying and tracking the status and location of goods and assets.

Ideally suited for heavy industrial and returnable container applications, VisiblEdge automatically tracks product and asset movement.It enables organizations to automatically capture lift truck locations, and determines and verifies pickup status and location of loads, without any required operator scanning or typing. VisiblEdge is designed to work with existing equipment and interface with existing systems.

Components of this turnkey package include:

• VisiblEdge software - Developed by Rush Tracking Systems, serves as the interface to the RFID reader to control and coordinate all components, and integrates with off-the-shelf RFID middleware and backend software applications.
• Industrial-grade RFID reader - Capable of withstanding shock and vibration common to industrial operations.
• Cargo antennas - Quickly identifies a single pallet, double stacked pallets, or short pallets. Depending on the composite materials of the load, the contents can also be confirmed.
• Rugged rack tag antenna - Reads RFID tags that are placed on the shelves where assets are stored.
• Optical Positioning System - Military-grade roof-mounted camera reads 2-D barcodes mounted on the ceiling, providing center of the fork X-Y location accuracy within inches, up to 4 times per second.
• Cargo presence lift sensor - Triggers when the RFID reader turns on and off to eliminate reading tags on assets if a lift truck drives by without a load.
