Do you want an RFID system that can measure location and identity?
- see Rfid-Radar^TM - a Trolley Scan product

"A universal identification technology for a hungry insatiable market"

Do you believe you should be able to itemise and verify the contents of your loaded truck by scanning automatically from the outside in a couple of seconds?

Do you dream of just scanning that pile of unsorted books and files in a couple of seconds into your computer?

Do you want to see access control not needing single person turnstiles?

Do you dream of the day when you will not need to stand at checkout counters in Supermarkets?

Do you believe that there has to be a better identification system than barcodes?

If you have these visions, then you might want to become involved in the Trolleyponder revolution!
