About

John T Armstrong

Is our illustrious Chairman & Founder. He currently holds 22 patents in the RFID and communications space. His passion is to find the “impossibles” and turn them into reality. As he sees the world, the harder the problem, the more interesting it is! 

About Us

Background

Culture

At the heart of what we do, we believe in a world that works for everyone. We believe in contribution to all, as well as to be contributed to. We have built a team of exceptional leaders leading leaders. We pride ourselves on our integrity, not just our skills.

How We Came to be

John has been in the RFID space for decades – 4 decades to be exact – and he has witnessed many cycles of development this technology has undergone. While solving the non-trivial problem of achieving 100% coverage for 24/7 tracking, John saw that the the industry was ripe for disruption in the form of “Fixed Infrastructure” or “Hands-Free” tracking. However, there were numerous technical hurdles to overcome, namely, the complexity of power supply modification for new installations on the ceiling. He had the brilliant insight to integrate RFID sensors into existing lighting power sources.

 

In that moment, the idea for our company was born.

Reach out below and we will get back to you within 24 hours.

Why Fixed Infrastructure vs.

The Competition

“Fixed Infrastructure” deployments enable users to be able to accomplish 24/7 tracking within 100% of the physical space.

This one time deployment eliminates the need for labor intensive maintenance or human error, and – to many employees’ delight – also relieves employees of the monotonous task of scanning each item hand by hand.

 

 

Simplicity, Elegance

Similar to how barcodes replaced handwritten receipts as the primary mode of tracking (and subsequently unlocked an entire world of transactional analysis spurring modern day analytics-driven marketing), RFID will also displace barcodes.

We envision similarly explosive innovation will be enabled by 100% real-time location data. Innovations such as true omni-channel, Intelligent Manufacturing, instant shipment verification, predictive analytics, and much more.

Whereas other RFID technologies may have suffered spectacular failures due to the complexity and lack of planning around unforeseen invisible challenges, our patented system eliminates that risk almost entirely.
