The InfraMarker RFID app improves asset management by connecting UHF (Ultra-high frequency) RFID asset identification tags with the ESRI’s ArcGIS platform. Berntsen has expanded InfraMarker by integrating NFC identification tags with the ESRI platform. With InfraMarker, a simple RFID or NFC scan can trigger the power of GIS and bring data, inspection forms, or maintenance records to the field for fast, reliable asset management.
Any smart phone equipped with the ability to make contactless card payments via NFC will support the InfraMarker NFC App. The InfraMarker NFC app augments the phone’s capability to include access to passive UHF RFID chips at close range – under four inches (10 centimeters).
RFID is the fastest growing asset identification technology in the world thanks to its ruggedness, affordability, and ability to provide a unique serial number for any type of product. Berntsen is the leader in linking RFID technology to the digital management systems used by utilities, public works, and construction.
“We are proud to add NFC to the InfraMarker field app. This dramatically expands the number of assets that can be marked and managed using RFID for utilities, public works, and construction firms.” said Mike Klonsinski, president of Berntsen.
InfraMarker, a division of Berntsen International, is the leader in connected RFID-enabled infrastructure asset marking products and software. The InfraMarker line includes rugged RFID-enabled marking products, RFID readers and accessories, and RFID-connecting software to enhance GIS and asset management platforms.
