Advanced ID Corporation is a complete RFID solutions provider that develops asset management and authentication systems such as the TireTRACS software to help manufacturers fight counterfeiting. One out of five tires sold to customers is a counterfeit, causing poorer gas mileage, an increased number of flat tires and shorter tire lives.
Advanced ID embedded the SkyeTek M9 UHF SkyeModule in its line of ruggedized handheld and fixed readers that read the data contained on tire tags also made by Advanced ID. TireTRACS captures and tracks data on tires as they move through distribution. The system also helps vehicle fleet managers extend the life of their tires by indicating proper wear and maintenance requirements, lowering operating costs by as much as 30 percent.
