Sirit and Dynasys announce strategic partnership for RFID hardware upgrades and retrofits

Tuesday March 1, 8:00 am ET

Partnership offers dramatic cost savings and value proposition by enabling users to upgrade and retrofit existing installed bases of equipment to support RFID


RFID WORLD, DALLAS, TX, March 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Sirit Inc. (TSX:SI - News), the leading provider of embedded RFID reader technology, and Dynasys Technologies, Inc. (www.rfidusa.com), a proven provider of RFID hardware engineering solutions and distribution services, today announced a strategic partnership and alliance. Through the newly formed partnership, Dynasys will serve as a value added integrator and distributor of Sirit's embedded OEM RFID reader offerings to serve the sizeable and relatively untapped RFID upgrade and retrofit opportunity, and address EPCglobal(TM) and "closed loop" RFID applications.

"Cost remains one of the largest obstacles to realizing true ROI and cost savings from RFID hardware implementation," stated Bob Scher, CEO of Dynasys. "Not only do expenditures for new RFID equipment contribute to the high costs of implementation, but the costs associated with business process change, downtime, reengineering backend IT infrastructure, and the obsolescence of existing installed bases of data collection equipment resultant from the adoption of new RFID equipment, are sizeable."

Using Sirit RFID reader modules, Dynasys provides an upgrade and retrofit service that quickly and easily adds RFID reader capabilities to existing installed bases of hardware devices such as handhelds, printers, and transaction terminals. As an alternative to the purchase of new equipment, Dynasys' RFID upgrade and retrofit approach offers a very compelling and cost effective path to customers looking to embrace RFID, by enabling customers to preserve existing investments in equipment, minimize downtime and business process change, and dramatically reduce the costs of RFID implementation.

"With a solid track record supported by over 205,000 RFID reader units produced and shipped across a myriad of frequencies and protocols," continued Scher. "Sirit is the proven leader in embeddable RFID technology. We are proud to partner with Sirit to address this very compelling opportunity."

"For over 15 years, Dynasys has been a recognized and well respected provider of value added services and distribution support to the RFID and automatic data collection industry. Dynasys helped pioneer the retrofit and upgrade approach during the emergence of handheld barcode scanners several years ago, by helping numerous customers to leverage their existing equipment investments resulting in significant cost savings," stated William Staudt, President and CEO, Sirit Inc. "Dynasys has identified a very compelling and attractive retrofit and upgrade path for the RFID market that is poised to dwarf the barcode opportunity. We are excited to be part of Dynasys's unique and value-added approach to the RFID market."
