Customer Need

To create a real-time identification, location and high-accuracy timing solution to track multi-user races. The core solution elements should be customizable to offer real-time process control elements for industrial process control. Ability to monitor multiple parameters/events and control system rules from a remote location are a must.

Sentinel Custom Solution

* Low frequency, high frequency or hybrid architectures
* Rugged tags and readers to handle tough industrial environments (IP-65/68)
* IS rated capability option for hazardous situations
* Custom matt antennas with multi-element arrays or swivel antennas in industrial settings
* Remote firmware download for reconfigurablity, event control or both
* Hermetically sealed tags and antenna packages
* Multi-user system - open, scalable and modular
* Real-time results, alarms or status data on remote appliances, Internet or intranet
* Real-time add/drop of users, control elements/parameters or event changes

System Performance Benchmarks

* On-the-fly read/write and lock tag capabilities
* Millisecond accuracy for race timing
* Multi-user - up to 10 users can be timed simultaneously
* Alarm or I/O reconfigurability (based on pre-set parameters or events or both)
* Chemical energy or natural gas plant control system

Other Potential Applications

* Remote monitoring for high-risk, critical patients/criminals
* Warehouse distribution system with multi-conveyor sorting and routing capability
* Multi-user access-control for wide aisles or marathon type races
