SENTINEL VALUE-PROPOSITION
WHY SENTNEL?

Our overall value-proposition and RFID solution elements are compelling and exploit our core-competencies and strategic insights to solve specific customer problems. We deliver high impact, high ROI Automatic Data Collection (ADC) solutions that address real needs.

As a leading Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) consultant, authorized system integrator, Value Added Reseller (VAR), and North American distributor for multiple RFID OEM brands, we can be your turnkey solutions partner. Sentinel ID Systems, Inc. is an innovative solutions provider for enterprise-wide, mission-critical applications such as identifying, locating, tracking, and providing any time, any place, any platform Web-centric visibility for your high-value assets, inventory, and strategic people/information. This enables truly energized asset-tracking, supply-chains, inventory management, access control, and information security.

Our solutions are primarily targeted at gaining significant productivity and information/physical security enhancement over traditional barcode and Infrared (IR) solutions (which require line-of-sight). We complement winning RF technologies with our core-competencies such as requirements analysis, systems and architectural development, modeling and simulation, custom RF design, and development expertise to bring you the optimum, integrated and end-to-end solutions to meet your exacting requirements.

Our Core Competencies

Requirements and Business-Process Analyses

Our hardware and software engineers create the best possible system architectures, unique firmware, and algorithms to match your requirements and/or business process to our portfolio of modular, premier technology building-blocks.

We study the current business-process in the context of the identified problem to be solved and then recommend process modifications to optimize the solution. We also provide RF site surveys to identify potential noise/interference sources before we model the systems solution and RF building blocks.

Our systems provide the optimum level of device drivers as well as open Application Protocol Interfaces (API) and database interface such as MS Access, Oracle, SQL, Sybase, and RPC. We also provide LAN/WAN/PAN communication interfaces (TCP/IP, Ethernet, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11x, Wi-Fi, etc.).

Systems, Architectural and Vertical Markets Know-how

Sentinel principals and technical staff has over 60 man-years of know-how and hands-on experience in designing custom systems, robust architectures, special antennas, multiplexers, wireless data communication equipment, software/databases, and algorithms, including special tag and reader packaging for specific niches and harsh environments.

Our principals also own and have access to a broad intellectual property (patent) portfolio.

An example of our ability to deliver a high freuency RFID antenna portal for high speed, automatic reading of smart label tags is seen below. This portal was able to read data equivalent to 230 barcodes in a mere 6 seconds using our turnkey system and software solution. Barcode based reading of same data would need line of sight and more than 6 minutes - a great productivity improvement!

Sentinel Conveyor RFID Read/Write Portal Solution

Our breadth of both pilot and fully-deployed projects in a diverse set of industry and vertical market segments provide us with a foundation to leverage our lessons learned and draw upon them to solve any field deployment issues typically faced by system and software integrators like us.

Access to Winning and Proven Technologies

Sentinel’s integrated turnkey solutions cover the latest Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and RF/Wireless Data Communication (RFDC) technologies from leading global chip and RFID vendors such as Texas Instruments, Philips, Intermec, Hughes, Checkpoint, SCS, Motorola, SAVI, Hitachi, Omron, Sokymat, EMS, Gemplus, and0 SAMSYS. Our Automatic Data Collection and wireless (ADC/WLAN, WiFi) vendors include Symbol, Cisco, D-Link, LinkSys, Lucent, Nortel, Proxim, and Agere Systems.

Strong System and Software Integration Skills

Our suite of technology elements, modules and our integration skills enable both secure facilities as well as secure intranets, e-commerce, and m(obile)-commerce!

Sentinel has partnered with creative companies to provide additional levels of security by further hardware/software/firmware/middle-ware integration with some of the latest bio-metric identification, digital signature authentication, internet Crypto-Firewalls, SSL, payment gateways, secure-net algorithms, and robust challenge-response systems.

We specialize in providing a broad range of multi-protocol, multi-frequency RFID solutions (LF, UHF, HF) that support Windows 95/98/NT, Linux, and other Unix platforms.

Total Customer Satisfaction

We provide continuous support - pre-sales, during project and post-sales product and services support to our customers - so our joint projects deliver the desired end results and achieve customer goals. We stand 100% behind our products and warrant the turnkey system’s pre-set performance and reliability metrics.

Our culture is customer-centric, and we know that happy customers are repeat customers!

Armed with this compelling competency-set and commitment to excellence, we provide comprehensive on-site, or remote consulting services on a daily or total project basis to suit your needs. Please e-mail us requirements or contact us for further details or quotations.
