Tuesday, April 8, 2008

Rush Tracking Systems has announced the availability of its VisiblEdge RFID lift-truck package. The package combines application software, RFID hardware, and positioning technology for lift-trucks in order to provide real-time operational visibility and automatic RFID data collection.

Geared for use in heavy industrial and returnable container applications, VisiblEdge features automatic tracking of both lift trucks and their payloads, increasing efficiency by not requiring operator scan or type in information.


“Working closely with our clients, we developed VisiblEdge in response to a growing need for greater granularity and real-time visibility in manufacturing and warehouse operations,” said Toby Rush, president and CEO of Rush Tracking Systems. “By enabling automated control and minimizing necessary human intervention, VisiblEdge helps organizations improve operational effectiveness, efficiencies, productivity and throughput.”
