SkyeTek delivers stand-alone and embedded reader solutions that make RFID work easily, reliably, and economically for enterprises and OEMs that require the ability to continuously track goods and assets. SkyeTek’s customers span numerous vertical markets and range from mid-market businesses to Fortune 500 corporations. What they share in common is the use of SkyeTek’s reader solutions to increase visibility across the enterprise in order to create competitive advantage in their products and operations.
SkyeTek continues to be one of the proven leaders in the RFID market in terms of number of production customers and readers sold. Customers use its solutions in applications such as inventory / asset management, product authentication, and patron management with compelling results. All have realized some combination of improved process reliability, inventory turnover, loss prevention, sales productivity, and customer satisfaction. These benefits, coupled with the cost effectiveness and time-to-benefit of SkyeTek’s solutions, have allowed companies to realize high returns on investment through the application of RFID in their businesses.
Customers employ SkyeTek’s solutions in two ways. Enterprises deploy standalone readers, on- or off-premises, and connect them to software applications via wired or wireless network connections to provide continuous visibility of inventory and assets. Alternatively, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) integrate reader modules into products, such as medical devices and cell phones, as an add-on feature allowing these devices to authenticate items in the field, such as disposables and ID badges. In either case, SkyeTek’s reader solutions provide the following advantages compared to other readers in the market:
-
Complete: SkyeTek delivers an entire solution consisting of readers, antennas, multiplexers, software, and services.
-
Intuitive: Both expert and novice users find that SkyeTek solutions are easy to use allowing them to significantly reduce time-to-benefit.
-
Reliable: SkyeTek readers offer read reliability that meets or exceeds Fortune 500 enterprise standards despite the unpredictable environments in which readers are sometimes placed.
-
Cost-Effective: Due to a proprietary firmware-intensive architecture that eliminates the need for expensive components, SkyeTek’s solutions lead the industry in price-performance and total cost of ownership (TCO).
-
Flexible: SkyeTek’s firmware-intensive architecture has allowed customers to deploy RFID in a wide variety of applications, use cases, and environments.
SkyeTek sells its standalone readers and modules to customers in ways that best fit their businesses. Some customers buy manufactured products directly from SkyeTek or one of its distributors / resellers. Others license SkyeTek’s technology or OEM its products so that they can manufacture readers under their own name at a lower cost. Regardless of how customers acquire the products and technology, more customers are now realizing the promise of RFID due to SkyeTek’s technological advantages and engineering expertise honed by an industry leading number of production deployments over the years.
