April 29, 2005—AXCESS International, a provider of Active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems, has announced that its wireless tagging system, ActiveTag, is being used at JFK International Airport by food-service companies to automatically control vehicle access, increase efficiency, and improve the safety of the drivers.
The system, installed by Digital Watchguard, provides automatic identification and validation of authorized trucks upon entry to the facility. An underground road loop antenna activates a metal mount tag located under the hood as the truck approaches the gate. The tag transmits the identification to a palm-sized receiver tied to the gate controller for “rolling vehicle access.” Access is then provided immediately for authorized vehicles, without the driver having to leave the vehicle or remember keypad codes.
