VerdaSee Portal ID™ is a family of solutions that provide automated tracking and tracing of assets as they enter or leave designated areas within a healthcare facility. Equipment, bundles of assets on skids, hospital patients, or other personnel can be automatically identified and tracked at all times using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. The target entrance and exit portals can be office doors, industrial dock doors, security gates, or custom designed portals on conveyor manufacturing lines. RFID readers are direct wired or wireless LAN connected to a controller. The readers detect signals from RFID tags placed on assets or individuals. The readers communicate this information to the system server using VerdaSee Navigator TM software. Information such as location, time, temperature, patient identity or asset number can be immediately communicated to individuals requiring the information

VerdaSee Dock Door Portal ID™ solutions provide high performance tracking of assets that enter or leave healthcare facilities through dock doors. The dock doors are equipped with RFID readers and antennas by VerdaSee's Field Engineering experts. RFID tags or labels are affixed to personnel, target assets, or skids of assets. These assets are tracked automatically as they pass through the dock door. VerdaSee can design solutions that differentiate between assets that are entering, or leaving, the target area. This can also be used to assist in inventory reconciliation or vendor managed inventory (VMI). VerdaSee Navigator TM software processes information from the RFID readers and tags and displays vital asset information automatically without human intervention. RFID tags are more robust than bar codes and are not susceptible to normal handling that can damage or obscure bar code information.

VerdaSee Conveyor Portal ID™ solutions provide an excellent mechanism for tracking prescriptions bottles or other assets processed in our customers' automatic packaging applications. VerdaSee's engineers design high performance portals that are integrated into existing conveyor systems. The conveyors are fitted with RFID readers. Assets moving through the portal are fitted with RFID tags or labels. As the assets move through the portal vital information is automatically collected and managed by the readers and VerdaSee Navigator TM software. Time, asset location, unique asset identification numbers, and other information are automatically retrieved and displayed as needed. Unlike traditional bar code systems, this RFID solution does not require "line of sight" scanners. RFID tags and labels are more durable than bar codes provide higher levels of data accuracy.

VerdaSee Office Door Portal ID™ solutions work similar to the other VerdaSee Portal-ID™ product solutions. In this case the portal consists of a standard office door. Assets or personnel entering or leaving are automatically tracked with the RFID readers, RFID tags, and VerdaSee Navigator TM software. These solutions can be direct wired or wireless LAN.
