XERAFY™ proudly announces a strategic partnership with foreign material exclusion (FME) specialist, Access Solutions, LLC. The energy industry’s first RFID control system for automating FME processes, Access Solutions’ FME S.T.A.R.trac SM, will integrate XERAFY’s EPC Gen2 RFID-on-metal (ROM) tags. This development will significantly affect accountability and maintenance methodologies by enabling power generation and aviation organizations to track objects with real-time visibility data and prevent foreign object damage (FOD).
Dennis Khoo, CEO of XERAFY, explains, “XERAFY has the smallest ROM tags, which allows them to be easily attached to or embedded in various types of tools. Our RFID tags enable the automation of tool management that delivers inventory control, maximizes productivity and increases operational efficiencies.”
“We are truly excited.” Adds Kelvin Mann, CEO of Access Solutions. “Our key objective in automating our FME procedures is to increase efficiencies for our customers while maintaining our unparalleled quality of foreign material accountability. Our core focus is on Foreign Material Exclusion so we take extra care to assure our tagging methods do not result in creating foreign materials. XERAFY’s form factor enables us to use our best practice tagging methodologies on a larger percent of the items used in critical work areas and the reliability of their tags supports our ability to deliver efficiency improvements to our customers.
Embedding XERAFY RFID tags in tools and parts make foreign object detection more seamless and error resistant. The ability to “see” what cannot be seen with the human eye, gives an extra level of security to detect a stray tool in power generation equipment or an aircraft engine that wouldn’t have been located otherwise.
XERAFY (xerafy.com) will exhibit at the 31st National Aerospace Foreign Object Damage, FOD, Conference in St. Louis, MO August 17-19th, 2010. The showcase demonstrates XERAFY’s Picox tag, measuring at 0.47 x 0.28 x 0.12 in, the smallest yet ROM tag, embedded in various tools and metal ID plates.
