Category: Barcodes / RFID

I’ve learned many valuable lessons from my experiences, whether I was earning my BS at Caltech, my Masters and PhD at UCSD, working in a corporate environment for ten years at Cubic Corporation, or founding my own company, Telaeris. But as I look back, I find that I learned some of my most valuable lessons […]

Recently, a customer posed a question about stretching the limits of barcodes.  “How small can a barcode get?” This customer requires barcodes as small as possible. As this is not a question we receive every day, we decided to do some testing to find out. We already knew that the best option for tagging small […]

We got knee deep into a couple employee identification projects over the summer.  Both systems said that they were using standard HID Prox cards, but as we went through the deploy, we found out that both customers were using HID Prox and another technology badge that our readers could not interpret correctly. As we took […]

While describing Telaeris and our products, I often discuss how we track people during emergency evacuations. This requires us to monitor access control systems, when & where people scan their badges and sometimes provide RFID systems which actively track where in a facility people are. This often leads people to ask me – isn’t this […]

From 2015 through 2016, Telaeris executed a service contract with Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton to assist the Marines with labeling 30,000 Base Property (BP) assets. The Marine Corps needed to achieve inventory accountability and visibility of property in accordance with Department of Defense (DoD) laws and regulations for resource management. This required working through […]

About a year ago, Telaeris hosted a hands-on RFID Lunch & Learn, co-sponsored by IEEE. We had a full house filled with engineers, managers, and business owners. Many questions were asked, and our attendees learned how to utilize RFID to streamline their business processes. There is no beauty in hoarding good knowledge, so we want […]

A customer asked if we could use a passive UHF RFID (Ultra-High Frequency Radio Frequency Identification) system to monitor if employees crossed a certain line in their warehouse. Because of the industry they were in, they could be assessed steep fines when unauthorized people entered restricted areas. After hearing about this request from my engineers, […]

Automation – it’s what modern-day technology is all about! Recently, Telaeris was asked to simplify employee timekeeping for a construction yard using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. The company had 3000 employees and wanted to know both who was on the job site and when they came and left. Instead of hand-punched time-cards which were […]
