Acsis, Inc. Launches Generation 2 RFID Program to Assist Customers with Compliance and Benefits; An Industry Leader's Perspective How to Achieve Compliance and Benefit from the Generation 2 Standard

Business Wire, April 11, 2006

MARLTON, N.J. -- Acsis, Inc., a leader in delivering shop floor process automation and enterprise data collection solutions for the supply chain, announces the launch of its Generation 2 Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) program ("Gen 2 Program"). With industry-driven mandates driving the adoption of the Generation 2 standard for RFID ("Gen 2 standard"), many companies in the consumer packaged goods and manufacturing industries are now required to implement new and/or upgrade existing systems to comply with this standard.

Acsis' Gen 2 Program was designed to enable companies to comply with the requirements of their mandates and understand the benefits associated with the Gen 2 standard. Acsis' Data-Link Enterprise software solution, along with Gen 2 RFID Implementation Methodology, enables companies to quickly implement a compliant RFID solution while building a foundation for additional RFID usage throughout the enterprise. As a part of its offering, Acsis assists customers to understand the benefits of using the Gen 2 standard to increase visibility and efficiency throughout the supply chain and increase the quality of information through automated processes.

With over 600 installations in 26 countries in mission critical environments, Acsis is a proven RFID market leader and has provided solutions to a number of Fortune 500 companies. Recently named in the top 20 RFID Industry Leaders Vendor Matrix by ABI Research (http://www.abiresearch.com/abiprdisplay.jsp?pressid=582), Acsis has the capabilities and knowledge to help customers implement solutions that integrate with existing shop floor and enterprise systems.

"Acsis has proven itself time and again to customers over the last 10 years," said Steven Selfridge, President and Chief Executive Officer. "RFID enables enhanced and accurate visibility to the supply chain. Many companies are looking for a solutions partner to help introduce RFID solutions as part of their overall operations. Companies who are providing point, RFID-only, solutions are starting to fall off the map because they can't provide value. Based on our history and solutions that help companies integrate all the devices and people together with their supply chain processes, it is clear that Acsis is the only choice for helping companies understand and benefit from RFID as a part of their business."

How to Benefit from the Technology Improvements

With improvements to RFID technology based on the Gen 2 standard, such as optimized read/write rates and ability to utilize multiple readers in close proximity to one another, RFID is a cost effective and efficient way to automate information capture during production and supply chain processes; enabling companies to leverage RFID for purposes beyond compliance. Acsis has implemented RFID solutions using both active and passive RFID to track assets, improve processes and simplify data and information collection on the shop floor. With Acsis' Gen 2 program, companies can better understand and gain additional benefits by expanding the use of RFID throughout the enterprise and supply chain.

Acsis' Data-Link Enterprise and QuickStart II software solutions

Acsis' Gen 2 program also includes its software solution, Data-Link Enterprise. Data-Link Enterprise acts as a device controller for RFID hardware and enables companies to connect RFID with all existing systems on the manufacturing and shop floor. Acsis offers a single platform that interfaces with the myriad of systems and equipment, including barcode, RFID, optical readers and the like. Utilizing RFID in conjunction with all other existing systems and devices is necessary in building a scalable solution that can be used during normal business operations without negatively affecting existing processes.
