Market Wire, October, 2007
Advanced ID Corporation (OTCBB: AIDO), a leading developer of radio frequency identification ("RFID") technology for livestock tracking, pet recovery and supply chain applications focusing on the tire management industry, today announced that it has received its 3rd Purchase Order from The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company to provide the RFID tags embedded in all the racing tires used in the 2008 NASCAR season.
