IDentiTRAK Technologies and GlobeRanger Implement Fully-Integrated RFID Edgeware and Warehouse Management Solution for Durakon

Enables Product Lifecycle Tracking for Leading Supplier of Cargo Management and Vehicle Protection Systems

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. and RICHARDSON, Texas, Jan. 16 -- IDentiTRAK Technologies, a leading provider of RFID and warehouse management solutions, and GlobeRanger, the leading provider of RFID Edge software, mobility and sensor-based applications for both enterprise and government customers, today announced they have jointly implemented a new, fully-integrated RFID solution for Lapeer, Michigan-based Durakon Industries Incorporated. Durakon, the world's leading supplier of cargo management and vehicle protection systems, will leverage IDentiTRAK's comprehensive RFID offering in tandem with MASTERlink EDGE RFID software, based on GlobeRanger's iMotion RFID Edgeware platform, to track inventory and for quality assurance.

"With IDentiTRAK's help, we're able to track our products from cradle to grave," said Joe Mawhinney, Director of Information Systems for Durakon. "Tracking our Duracover products with embedded RFID technology allows us to more closely monitor inventory and provides greater insight into the product sales and installation processes. A key advantage is the ability to verify the contents of a sealed carton. This quality control step ensures that all the correct components are in the package prior to it leaving the plant."

"We're excited about our partnership with Durakon," said Jay Fryman, Executive Director for IDentiTRAK. "Our partnership is unique, and it's one of the first integrations of its kind within the automotive industry."

"iMotion provides critical, device-management and inventory tracking capabilities and enables a quick, flexible implementation and effective operation of the solution," said Larry Chandler, Vice President of Business Development for GlobeRanger.

The integration consists of embedding RFID devices from IDentiTRAK within Durakon cargo management products. With GlobeRanger's iMotion, Durakon can monitor inventory levels, record sales and track product installations.
