DocStaxx makes RFID document management stack up

March 4, 2009: RFIDTraxx has announced the introduction of DocStaxx, its new document tracking software using RFID.

DocStaxx combines Microsoft SQL Server with Magellan Technology's Phase Jitter Modulation (PJM) RFID reader to allow the tracking of documents in any environment and in any position.

The DocStaxx system is claimed to be ideal for use in law offices, mortgages companies, insurance companies, banks, hospitals, medical offices, and similar types of businesses where the retention of paper documents is essential.

These types of companies require efficient and accurate tracking of valuable, signed and original documents for the purpose of locating and securing, in real time, documents for legal, accounting, and privacy issues.

The software is web-based allowing anyone with the appropriate permissions to interrogate the system (either through an internal network or via the Internet). The use of SQL Server, a widely used database server, allows for easy integration with existing systems if required, while giving the standalone system tremendous power.

Australian company Magellan's PJM High Frequency (HF) RFID technology, StackTag, has the ability to communicate with RFID tags even when they are stacked without any separation. This important attribute, unique to StackTag technology, enables the reliable tracking of original documents, including single page documents, on desks, in folders, on shelves, or in archive boxes.

"DocStaxx combined with Magellan's PJM RFID technology eliminates the problems normally associated with tags that are touching or overlapping," said Steve Halliday, an RFIDTraxx partner. "PJM allows hundreds of RFID-tagged documents to be read and located accurately, in real time, without any loss of performance".

DocStaxx is a highly adaptable system that was developed to accommodate companies of all sizes and requirements. The DocStaxx system provides a migration path for companies to implement on a small scale and expand the system as its needs grow.

"We've created an easy interface for the user to add, find, view, checkout, archive, and shred documents," added Joe Lemieux, an RFIDTraxx partner. "No other document management system can identify and locate stacked or filed documents like the DocStaxx system, and that's essential when handling important documents. Having instant knowledge of the location of a document and its history can save millions of dollars in today's businesses."

Magellan Technology, based in Sydney, is a technology developer; manufacturer and licensor of advanced read and write 13.56MHz RFID systems.
