Product overview:

GuardRFID infrastructure for indoor and outdoor RTLS applications

GuardRFID's infrastructure is the backbone that allows for the identification, location and security of people and assets equipped with RFID tags. The infrastructure consists of Tag Readers (TRR, TR2, TRC) and Tag Exciters (TE, PTE) that are deployed in the coverage area based on the location and security needs of the deployment scenario.

Guard RFID tags communicate periodically with Tag Readers using 433MHz RFID signalling. The Tag Readers relay this information through Ethernet or WIFI (using a WIFI accessory kit) to the AllGuard Server, which calculates the location of the tags and applies any necessary security protocols.

Tag Exciters are typically deployed at the entrance/exit/choke points of the facility and allow the solution to provide an instant location of the tags used for securing the person or asset of interest.

Our standard equipment is suitable for indoor deployment. The infrastructure is additionally offered for deployment in outdoor industrial, yard and hazardous (EX-rated) locations. It can be optionally deployed using solar/batteries.

Tags for safeguarding patients in hospitals

Guard RFID's patient tags use Active RFID technology together with the AllGuard infrastructure and software to facilitate the protection of patients. A variety of tags are offered to suit the operating processes in use and the patient needs of the hospital.

a) Infant Tags are available for umbilical cord attachment (UT-1, UT-2) using a tamper-detecting ankle band (PPT-2) or dual sensor tamper-detecting Velcro strap (TT-1). These tags offer the broadest range of lightweight and comfortable options in the industry.

b) Patient Tags may be attached using plastic cut bands (PT-1, PPT-1), tamper-detecting bands (PT-1), a wearable wrist-band (PT-1, PT-3) or a keychain pendant (PT-3). The PT-3 features a call button that may be used by patients to call for assistance.

c) Mother Tags (MT-125) are designed to pair with an Infant Tag to prevent Mother-Baby mix-ups.

All patient tags are IP-68 rated and have a one-year battery life (with the exception of UT-2, which has a three-month battery life).

Staff Tags - Identify, locate and protect employees

Guard RFID's staff tags use active RFID technology together with the AllGuard infrastructure and software to facilitate the identification, location and protection of personnel. A range of tags and attachment options are offered to allow the solution to be utilized in a variety of locations, such as hospitals, manufacturing, and oil and gas sites.

a) Wearable wrist tags (PT-1 and PT-3) are IP68-rated tags worn using an adjustable wrist band. The PT-3 tag offers a push button that can be configured to alert appropriate personnel when it is pressed by the wearer. The PT-3 tag also offers the option to attach the tag using a pendant. They have a one-year battery life.

b) The 'ID badge-style' personal tag (ST-3) is an IP52 and EX-rated low-profile tag with two-way communication capability. Two buttons and LEDs, and a 'man down' sensor, allow alarm generation and confirmation for safety events. They are powered using replaceable batteries with a battery life of one year.

c) Tag for keychains and hardhats (AT-4) are IP68 and EX-rated low profile tags that can be attached to an ID badge or a keychain, or attached to a hard-hat. They have a battery life of two years with typical use.

Asset Tags - For tracking assets in real-time

GuardRFID's active RFID based Asset Tracking solution has been helping hospitals, industrial and commercial enterprises across the globe track assets and improve processes. The GuardRFID Asset Tracking solution uses Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) Beaconing alongside Low Frequency (LF) proximity detection to provide the RTLS and room level location of assets.

Types of Asset Tags:

a) Low Profile Asset Tags (AT-4 and AT-5): These IP68-rated tags have an industry-leading low profile (6mm) and small footprint. They can be discretely placed on almost any surface, including metal, without significant degradation in performance. The AT-4 tag is rated for use in hazardous (EX Class 1 Division 1) environments. The AT-5 tag offers a tamper-detection capability.

b) Industrial Tags (IT-2): This is a highly-ruggedized tag that is waterproof and can withstand significant shock and vibration. It has been specifically developed for use in indoor and outdoor industrial and commercial applications. The tag can be easily mounted on metal surfaces with minimal degradation of its RF performance. The IT-2 is rated for use in potentially explosive environments (EX Class 1 Division 1).
