FOSTER CITY, CA--(Marketwire - April 7, 2009) -
- Omni-ID, a leading innovator in
passive ultra high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID)
technology, today announces it is collaborating with leading RFID printer
manufacturer Zebra Technologies to offer a certified Omni-ID On
Demand™ solution. The Zebra printing option will be primarily
implemented in North America and EMEA where the company has a strong
presence.
- Omni-ID On Demand offers customers the unique ability to print and
commission mount-on-metal RFID tags on-site to dramatically simplify RFID
systems integration. The ability to print and commission RFID tags on-site
dramatically simplifies large-scale RFID deployments and RFID systems
integration. The partnership with Zebra enhances the benefits of this
deployment solution by providing the customers a certified printing vendor
that meets Omni-ID's standards of technological excellence and ease of use.
- With Omni-ID On Demand, the entire deployment process can be done
on-site, whenever the customer is ready to tag the asset -- giving the
customer complete control and flexibility. Omni-ID On Demand is best
suited for larger deployments where enterprises with internal competency in
RFID technology desire this level of control and project flexibility. This
deployment solution provides users the ability to tag data center and IT
assets, along with other types of metal items with high value, for improved
tracking, a faster inventory process and enhanced maintenance cycle times.
By putting the control in the hands of the customer, Omni-ID reduces the
complexity of RFID deployments and removes a key barrier to RFID adoption.
- Omni-ID On Demand allows Omni-ID partners to offer a two-component
Omni-ID product, which is easily assembled to create a high performance
Omni-ID tag. The two-component approach allows customers to print, encode
and deploy the Omni-ID tag on demand. Customers have full control and
project flexibility, and are able to commission tags when they want, how
they want, and where they want. Omni-ID's unique, patent-pending
technology enables this revolutionary solution for deployment of rigid RFID
tags, and is fully compatible with industry standard EPC Gen2 hardware.

QUOTES:
"Omni-ID On Demand is a unique deployment solution for mount-on-metal tags
that is not available in the market from any other vendor. Zebra RFID
printers complement that solution because customers can create smart labels
to corroborate printed data, ensure accuracy and safety and offer an
overall operational improvement," said Carolyn Ricci, senior RFID product
manager, Zebra Technologies. "Omni-ID On Demand offers customers a new
deployment solution that greatly improves the efficiency of RFID systems
integration."
"Omni-ID is resolutely committed to giving our customers exactly what they
need to ensure seamless RFID deployments and systems integrations -- no
matter how complex the deployment," said Tom Pavela, President and CEO of
Omni-ID. "Omni-ID On Demand is a prime example of that steadfast
commitment. Zebra is a leading global RFID provider that mirrors our own
dedication to eliminating the barriers to RFID adoption. By collaborating
with Zebra, Omni-ID has effectively provided a certified vendor option to
solidify Omni-ID On Demand as the only solution on the market that allows
the customer to control the speed and details of their own RFID
deployment."
