Into the Spirit with Sirit

Johannesburg, SA - 4/16/2009 - The Sirit range of RFID products is the latest offering from local IT specialist, Roan Systems. Targeted at meeting the global demand for automatic ID systems, Sirit provides both embedded and fixed reader solutions.

The growing number of RFID applications proves that the technology is only limited by the imagination of the user. Sirit has products which allow effective tracking of vehicles, assets, medicines and medical equipment, and livestock. The technology has found widespread support in areas such as supply chain, manufacturing, retail and warehousing.

Recent deals have seen Sirit adopted by companies such as Swiss retailer Manor, for its warehousing and supply chain functions, as well as the 200 hypermarkets which form part of Germany-based METRO Group’s Real brand. There has also been government support, with the US Government naming Sirit as the preferred reader under it’s US$75million program to provide RFID devices for its Department of Defense, Coast Guard, other Federal Agencies, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Coalition Partners and, other Foreign Military Sales over three years. Here, the product range will be required to provide an integrated structure for logistic identification, tracking, locating and monitoring of commodities and assets.

In addition to Sirit’s RFID hardware offering , Roan will also be distributing the Sirit’s RFID antennas, inlays and tags.

Frikkie Koegelenberg, MD of Roan Systems, is delighted with the new development. “Sirit’s range fits perfectly into our existing RFID stable,” he says. “This move is in keeping with our strategy to stay ahead of market trends by offering advance solutions to customers.”

Roan’s reputation as a provider of consistently reliable RFID and printing solutions makes the company a valuable distributor for partners like Sirit. In addition, the company’s aggressive sourcing of increasingly advanced solutions ensures that clients stay at the forefront of the RFID movement.
