DAYTON, Ohio–(EMWNews)–A joint venture between an entrepreneur from Brooklyn, N.Y., and

daytaOhio may soon solve the problem of poor accuracy rates for reading

radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, the next generation of

identification technology for tracking the flow of products from

manufacture to consumers.

The joint venture, Radio Frequency in Dayton, LLC (RFiD) brings the

brainchild of entrepreneur Benson Chanowitz of Brooklyn, N.Y., to

Dayton. The final product will be a system for validating the

performance of the antennas and readers for RFID environments in

manufacturing, distribution, retail and defense industries. The Dayton

Development Coalition (DDC) is supporting the development of this

company and recently announced initial financing through the Dayton

Region Entrepreneurial Signature Program (ESP) which the Coalition

leads. This program is a State of Ohio Third Frontier project to assist

companies commercializing new products in emerging industries, according

to Jim Leftwich, president and CEO of the DDC.

The calibration device is very much needed in all areas of the growing

radio frequency identification market, estimated to be $50 billion

annually. Currently, calibration of radio frequency fields is a

time-consuming, highly inaccurate process, according to Chanowitz.

“No known solution today offers the early

results of this patent-pending technology,”

Chanowitz said. “The device is able to provide

a configuring solution to get 100 percent readability of RFID tags

passing through a ‘read’

zone.”

daytaOhio began working with Chanowitz in late 2007, seeing the

opportunity to enhance the calibration system with innovative ways of

visualizing the data to improve the productivity of companies

installing, servicing and using RFID systems in the region. As Leftwich

points out, the Miami Valley is a hotbed of RFID development and use

with manufacturers like NCR and hundreds of distribution centers

clustered around the I-75/I-70 interchange. The work with Chanowitz led

to the creation of RFiD, a joint venture with daytaOhio, to bring this

innovation and up to 35 new jobs to Ohio by the end of the initial

development phase, according to Terry Rapoch, president and CEO of

daytaOhio.

“The DDC’s support

of the RFID startup through the ESP program is another indication of the

benefits to a focused regional strategy that builds on Dayton’s

strengths,” said Leftwich.

“The region’s

history in developing barcode technology and point-of-purchase systems

makes Dayton the location of choice for companies who are implementing

next-generation RFID products,” added Rapoch.

RFID is a method of identifying items using tags on packages and pallets

that are activated by radio waves. The information on the tags is then

read by a scanning device and transmitted to a computer for entry into

inventory management or other systems.
