Draft script for Demonstrating the Document Management

Blinkpass is a very easy and convenient device to keep track of documents. This video is going to show how to use it:

First, place a smart label on the document. The smart label already recorded the details and status about the document.

Then you can put the document into the Blinkpass smart tray. The tray would record the time you put the document in. Once you take the document out, the smart tray would record the outflow time.

If you want to check the location or the status of a document, you can simply click the search button on web search page in computers.

Once the documents become idle and you may put them into carton boxes. It would be difficult for you to find it out again. However, by using our handheld reader, you can locate the documents very quickly by reading the labels on the box.

That’s all for the demonstration. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Thank you for watching!

RFID Locates Bridge Crane in Terminal without a hitch


Hong Kong RFID has successfully helped Hong Kong Internation Terminal (HIT) to setup a Bridge Crane positioning location system. Just simliar to MTRC cases, such system operates in a covered area where GPS can no longer effectives. With the UHF reader HKRUR-3083 installed on Bridge cane, it can provide the location information from the special tags mounted the tracks. Such UHF RFID system proves effective in metallic environment. The system has overcome several problems:
  • highly metallic environment
  • high speed of bridge cane moving at up to 25km/hr
  • highly vibrating platform
  • frequent shock and impact
  • highly dusty and moisty 
The system runs smoothly without a hitch. It is a remarkable success for HKRUR-3083. HKRUR-3083 is a reader & antenna integrated together into one compact and lightweight body which measured less than 1kg and IP54 industrial grade protection. This highly sensitive device supports ISO18000-6B & 6C and read tags up to 10m away, depends on tag types.

Case Sharing on Mobile UHF Handheld HKRUR-5080

December, 2008

All sorts of RFID applications is becoming more user-friendly with this handy portable device, HKRUR-5080. The mobility of handheld further complete the highly automatic RFID system and all benefits from RFID system now visualised through this clear TFT-LCD. There are 3 recent successful cases by using our Mobile UHF handheld reader.

Case 1: Hong Kong International Terminals (HIT)
HIT is one of the busiest container ports in Hong Kong. It is the flagship operation of the Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH) Group, the world's leading port investor, developer and operator. HIT mainly uses our reader in routine maintenance. It helps them to do the checklist:
  • Maintain container positioning system
  • Check RFID tag location information
  • Other maintanance activities
The position location system for bridge cane is a sophisticated system, it is one of very crucial system in daily operation, this handheld being used for routine maintenance, they need to withstand high G-force, shocking and impact circumstances, as well as dusty & muddy environment.

Case 2: The Housing Authority (HA)
It is a statutory body responsible for developing and implementing a public housing program.

We assist HA in conducting a feasibility study in prefabrication product monitoring and surveillance in manufacturing plant and site with using of RFID technology. Our RFID tag products can apply to panel wall, window, pre-cast modules, fire resisting door, etc.



HA use the mobile UHF handheld to Read/Write information into tag which is burried in facade in construction site. The industrial grade protection allows the PDA operates smoothly in dusty and muddy construction site environment.
Not only the increasing traceability of prefabrication product enhances the inventory management, but also the quality of products can be assured. For example, they can keep tracking the building material by our reader. Besides, the system can allow the future tack of information in maintenance issue.
Case 3: Testing Lab
The client is a thrid-party testing laboratory, providing electrical safety testing and certification, EMC testing, and performance and other benchmark testing.

December, 2008

Just like before, Hong Kong RFID has been active in the jewellry industry with our renowned Jewellery Management System Xapphire™. The application of RFID-enabled JMS has been focused on wholesaling, inventory checking and internal logistics operations. In December 2008, together with our partner, EverTech, we joined the Jewelry Manufacturer's Associations exhibition in Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre.

In the exhibition, we provided demonstration of our system showing jewellers from all over the world how RFID technology can apply in their operation and smoothing the flows. Besides, many of our customers used our system in the show and they realized the efficiency and effectiveness of the system. They are satisfied with our products, and we got a very good feedback from our customers.

With the advanced software of our partner, a lot of exhibitors who are jewellery wholesalers and retailers express interest in our equipments. Through the demonstration, they can easily understand the operation of JMS and experience the benefits brought from our system.

The exhibition was successful and it brought us a great chance to expand our JMS business to more places. We have already begun follow-up work for the inquiries we got from the exhibition and we look forward to the fruitful results.
