RFID WatchDog Tape Tracking System by Netc

Netc, LLC, provider of storage media barcode label printing software and printed RFID and media barcode labels, announced the Netc N*VISION RFID WatchDog Tape Tracking System with PassPort Technology.

     N·VISION LTO Ultrium RFID Labels

The system utilizes state-of-the-art RFID technology to help you better manage your valuable data tape and IT assets. The system is based upon the Netc N*VISION RFID media barcode label, an integrated, customized, RFID enabled label designed by Netc specifically for data tapes. Unlike other RFID tape tracking systems, WatchDog is not a barcode system converted to RFID. WatchDog is completely designed from the ground up to take advantage of the many benefits of current RFID technology. This includes both hardware and software, resulting in a completely integrated system suite that enables you to quickly deploy the solution in your company without the pain, time and expense of extensive system integration.

The patent-pending Netc N*VISION RFID WatchDog system enables you to effectively manage the movement of your data tape assets. PassPort Technology lets you create your manifest (list) of data tapes to be tracked and monitored through the PassPort portals deployed in your organization. As the tapes move through each PassPort checkpoint, the N*VISION RFID labels are interrogated and verified against the manifest for accuracy and completeness. If the manifest cannot be completely verified, an anomaly and status will be displayed so the operator may take the appropriate remedial action. The WatchDog system is completely scalable from one to many portals depending upon your business requirements. The system also features a complete reporting engine facilitating management reporting, analysis and real-time security alerts. The result is a more secure, controlled and compliant data center environment.

A PassPort Hand-Held unit is available to complement the Netc N*VISION RFID WatchDog system. The portable RFID unit contains hardware and software to enhance the tracking and auditing of your data tape assets. The PassPort Hand-Held contains a UHF Gen2 RFID reader that reads N*VISION RFID VolSer labels. It also can read both 1 and 2 dimensional barcodes. The intuitive, easy to use software works with you to expedite the tape inventory, auditing and location process. Netc N*VISION WatchDog is RFID technology you can easily identify with.
