Russia TV "NTV" interviewed Hong Kong RFID Ltd.

Thanks to the referral from ITC and Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation, the operation director from Hong Kong RFID Ltd., Mr. Mike Fung, was honorably interviewed by a Russian TV crew “NTV” on May 6 at RFID Centre. NTV Russia is the largest TV-network in Russia. In the interview, Mr. Fung talked about his company, shared a lot of his R&D experience and also introduced many innovative applications of RFID technologies including jewelry management and Sushi Hygenic monitoring.
Jewelry Management

The Jewelry management system from Hong Kong RFID Ltd. offers an instant and efficient jewelry stock taking management and quotation procedure compared to traditional barcode system. As each tag carries a unique ID, the RFID reader detects a certain amounts of tags at one time and shows them in a software interface. Therefore you can easily know how many jewels there are.
Sushi Hygienic monitoring

Many Hong Kong people enjoy eating Japanese food Sushi. It is crucial for sushi to maintain its freshness. With RFID technology, a RFID tag would be stick on the bottom of a sushi dish and it would record the time for the sushi dish leaving the kitchen. As per the scheduled time of the sushi dish, the “over-time” sushi dished would be expelled from the conveyor belt, therefore customers enjoy the fresh sushi all the time. Besides, the waiter can sum up the bill by pressing a button on a handheld reader which is very convenient for the two parties.

There are more interesting topics shared by Mr. Fung. This interview was planned to be shown in a series on “Hi-Technology in Hong Kong.” For further details about the interview, please refer to the announcement of NTV.

Participated in BizIT MINI Expo 2010

“BizIT MINI EXOI 2010” is a joint conference organized by the ITAA ARPA to promote the wider use of IT in enterprises. Business elites are invited to share their knowledge, unique insights, and inspiring commercial enterprise strategic IT concepts and some new thinking.

Hong Kong RFID Ltd. has always been active in the IT industry and is more than happy to participat in this exhibition with our latest active RFID products and solution. Compared to passive RFID, active RFID have more powerful reading performance and will not be influenced by water and metal.

Active RFID tags contain batteries for more powerful signals but the size of tags will then become a constraint for different usages. Regarding this issue, we have launched the world’s smallest active tag. It can be used on people and is suitable for location tracking systems. Using this small tag, companies can have better customer relationship management (CRM) among the valuable customers. Such system is already in operation in the Hong Kong Convention Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) to manage the people flow in different exhibitions and shows.

Besides, Mr. Mike Fung, the Operation Manager of Hong Kong RFID Ltd. hosted a seminar session to introduce the RFID applications in the coming years. In fact, RFID technology is still developing and has great potential in the IT industry.

We believe that RFID can bring economic benefits and effectiveness to enterprises in their daily operation and management. By participating in this exhibition, we are able to explore different market needs. We are glad to share and introduce the latest technology developments of RFID.

Hong Kong RFID provides RFID Tags for UBPA, Shanghai World Expo

Shanghai World Expo opens in May 2010. Hong Kong RFID Ltd is glad to be the RFID tag provider for the UBPA in this event. “In fact, this project is not profitable for us, but we are glad to provide this solution for Hong Kong, our own city!” said by Mr. Craig Jo, the Business Development Director of Hong Kong RFID Ltd.



Hong Kong participated in the Shanghai World Expo and exhibits in both the Hong Kong Pavilion and the UBPA Pavilion. The Hong Kong Government wants to introduce the latest RFID technology and smart card applications in the UBPA Pavilion.

 
To activate a vertical display by using a RFID tag











RFID tags are embedded in the bracelet given to each visitor to the UBPA Pavilion. With this bracelet, visitors can obtain access to the Pavilion as well as triggering videos on vertical displays in the Pavilion. Furthermore, visitors’ entrance and exit record is reported daily. RFID enables efficient and effective management of Pavilion.

To monitor people flow with interactive floor tiles

















There are also “Interactive Floor Tiles” in the UBPA Pavilion’s exhibition hall. The tiles itself contain a sensor and is installed under a layer of glass. Visitors can create different patterns according to their movements on the interactive floor tiles. In addition, this tile can be an index for determining the people flow in the exhibition hall.

Hong Kong RFID Ltd. put in a lot of effort and time in the implementation work of the UPBA project. “Once promised, even if we are losing money or working overtime, we still aimed at finishing our job!”


It is a mission to work for Hong Kong


“The company’s mission is the main reason for participating in this project,” Mr. Craig Jo specified. “It is my pleasure to represent Hong Kong and provide RFID solution in the UBPA pavilion. Although the project cannot make a profit for the company, the reputation and image of Hong Kong RFID Ltd. is enhanced by participating in the Shanghai World Expo.”

In the future, Hong Kong RFID Ltd. has confident to gain more opportunities like the UBPA Pavilion project.
