KonaWare and IntelliMark Announce Agreement; KonaWare and IntelliMark Align to Deliver Mobile RFID Solutions to Automate Dock and Warehouse Operations

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 26, 2005--KonaWare, a leading provider of logistics and motor freight applications on mobile devices, and IntelliMark, a national provider of technology integration and support, have signed an agreement to pursue the use of handheld RFID interrogators for supply chain applications. KonaWare's Mobile T&L Suite combined with IntelliMark's integration and RFID expertise will provide world-class mobile RFID solutions to transportation and logistics providers.

Most RFID deployments utilize fixed readers wired into the warehouse. "KonaWare and IntelliMark believe that Mobile RFID solutions incorporating handheld computers, RFID interrogators, and control software will provide superior ROI over fixed systems," said Jim DiSanto, CEO at KonaWare. "KonaWare's applications extend the business process and data from supply chain systems to mobile RFID devices, even without 100% wireless coverage."

Instead of taking the freight or inventory to the RFID reader, supply chain operators will simply take the reader to the inventory. Mobile RFID systems will also complement fixed portal systems for exception handling.

IntelliMark has implemented multiple RFID solutions. "Our relationship with KonaWare enables IntelliMark to offer more options to clients leveraging RFID technology," says Eric Heil, Vice President of IntelliMark. "KonaWare is one of the first companies to push an RFID software platform onto handhelds with the ability to collect and save data when the device is out of range of its wireless network and automatically synchronize the data when back in range. This technology provides the flexibility of using both fixed and mobile readers."
