東北システムズ・サポート Company Profile

The UHF band RFID reader/writer "ARETE POP," which allows for the reading of IC tags by attaching it to the headphone jack of smartphones and tablets, has improved its reading performance and is releasing a new model "ARETE POP2 (model number: A200-J)" that can also be used as a desktop reader, with orders starting on January 21. This product is a compact UHF band RFID reader/writer that can be used with iPhones, Android smartphones, and tablets. It is well-received by first-time RFID users due to its ease of use, as it simply requires attaching the device to the headphone jack and pointing it at the IC tag for reading. The newly released model "ARETE POP2" can be used in a 2-way manner as a desktop reader by utilizing the included USB cable and cradle (sold separately). Additionally, it maintains the same weight and size as the previous model while enhancing the reading distance by approximately 1.5 times. Examples of usage scenarios unique to the 2-way functionality include lending management in libraries, attendance management in schools and companies, and even guiding and directing attendees at event venues by switching to the headphone jack type for entry registration.

We are pleased to announce the release of the iOS-compatible model "DOTR-900Ji series" of the separate-type UHF band RFID reader/writer "DOTR-900J series," which enables reading and verification of IC tags by connecting to smartphones and tablets via Bluetooth. Orders will begin on April 15. The newly released "DOTR-900Ji series" is a new model that responds to the high demand for "iOS compatibility." While maintaining ease of use, it now features Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) to support iOS devices, adding RFID functionality to iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Additionally, it offers reading performance equivalent to the current models, allowing for the streamlining of time-consuming tasks such as asset and equipment management, inventory, and picking operations. To enable a wide range of industries to utilize RFID, we have established a service system that meets diverse needs, including the loan of demo units, proposals for IC tags, provision of a dedicated SDK, and domestic after-sales support. The suggested retail price for this product is open. *The product names and other proper nouns mentioned are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective companies.

We will open the "RFID/IoT Mobile Solution Lab," an exhibition space where visitors can operate and experience the latest RFID technology and mobile products while solving problems and challenges they have not been able to discuss until now, in Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture, on January 7, 2015. The lab operates on a reservation basis to allow visitors ample time to freely try out the exhibited equipment and consult casually. In large exhibitions, it is not guaranteed that visitors will encounter booths or exhibits that match their needs. However, by conducting pre-visit interviews with visitors, our lab prepares equipment and solution examples tailored to their concerns and inquiries, providing a "lab for you" that meets each individual's needs. Reservations for visits can be made through our website. In the future, we aim to provide the lab as a space where companies and students engaged in development and research utilizing RFID technology and mobile can test the latest technologies and explore various possibilities. By offering a real SNS space where individuals from various backgrounds who wish to challenge new technologies can interact with each other, we also aim to contribute to the development and revitalization of IT in the Tohoku region.
