Xtag Tagging System Features - Personnel / Asset tagging.

Fully Supervised

Xtag system continually monitors the activity and status of all active tags. Each tag emits a regular "presence" signal every 1.4 seconds to indicate that it is OK.

Personnel with a tag simply by walking into a building will automatically be shown as present and ID information will be displayed at reception desk pc without the person breaking stride or being aware of it.

Visitors can be controlled or simply tag a book and it cannot leave the room.

Confidence Is Built In

Xtag was designed to minimize maintenance and provide unprecedented reliability. Long range readers ensure full coverage, whilst adjustable short range readers provide "last seen" locations. In addition, the system’s design minimizes susceptibility to interference from other electronic and radio frequency equipment. This eliminates problems caused by external radio equipment.

Tamper Proof Asset Solution

A miniature switch is incorporated within all Xtag asset tags which detects any attempt to remove the tag from the asset on the long range receiver network, any attempt to disable the tag results in a security alert.

Identification by RFID

Each Xtag active tag has a unique RFID number, this enables the system to identify each person or asset, displaying them by name for ease in administration.

Eliminates Tailgate Exits

A "tailgate exit" is the name given to a condition which occurs frequently with conventional access control solutions, it simply means that a person went through a door opened by another persons ID badge therefore the system has no record of the event.

Because Xtag monitors all tags constantly it would still know how many personnel or assets were present, updating administrator software or operating security protocols (alarms e.t.c.)

Personnel Friendly

The Xtag active ID cards are designed to be worn by staff using lanyards or conference badge clips, the badge is the same shape and size as a credit card which allows third party printers and consumables to be used to produce unique company logos and photographic ID as required.

The Xtag has no moving parts, increasing reliability and cleanliness.

Expandable

Xtag systems were designed to allow a premises to implement the system needed today, while having the ability to seamlessly expand in the future as needs grow.

LAN/WAN Compatible

The Xtag System supports multiple PCs, connected over a Local Area Network or Wide Area Network. Security personnel and administrators can all access the system simultaneously.

Different levels of password access ensure security while allowing staff members to perform their jobs efficiently.

Time and Date Record of Activity

The Xtag Pro software records and logs all activity data with time and date information. In a properly configured system the entire history, should a problem occur, is recorded in detail.

Authorized movements, like the transport of assets or to personnel, can also be time and date stamped. For example, administrators could determine that John Smith left the building on 11th August at 16:43 p.m., and that under his password authorization, he took with him asset "Laptop 23" which he returned with at at 9:45 a.m on 14th August.

The system automatically records the identity of the staff member who signed out the asset. The amount of activity data stored is user configurable and largely dependent on the computer’s hard drive storage space. Weeks, months and years of activity can be stored.

Data can be backed up to conventional mediums such as tape and disc. Xtag uses an industry standard database with sort and filtering capability. Data can be displayed on-screen and printed or exported into other Microsoft compatible data software for maximum flexibility

Does not Interfere with Other Electrical Equipment

The Xtag active tag and reader is fully approved and does not interfere with the operation of other electrical or personal equipment.

Microsoft® Windows® Based

The Xtag Pro Software uses the Windows® operating system, creating a familiar environment for users. This platform also provides the system with exceptional flexibility, allowing it to be configured according the specific needs of an organisation. Compatible with Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME and Windows XP

Low-Battery Alert Feature

Xtag continuously monitors the battery level of all active tags. If battery power falls below a certain threshold, the system automatically generates an alert to indicate that the battery is aging.

The system can be configured to generate alarms if:

• The tag is detected in an unauthorised area.
• Someone tries to exit through a protected doorway with an asset without authorisation.
• The asset tag is interfered with or removed.
• An authorized exit has occurred and someone tries to "tail gate" through the protected exit without authorisation.
• The battery power in the tag has become low.

Baby Tagging and Infant Protection

The Xtag Infant Protection System has been specifically designed to prevent babies from being removed from a post natal ward without authorization.

Intelligent Building Solutions

The Xtag Intelligent Building Solution provides information putting you in control combining multiple applications into one all encompassing system.

Health and Safety

Question: What is Xtag?

Xtag is a combination of electronic radio emitting tags and a series of intelligent digital radio receivers allowing the locations of tagged personnel, assets and stock to be attained; additionally control of electrically locked doors/barriers can also be achieved efficiently.

Question: How does it work?

Each receiver is allocated an area i.e. reception, factory floor, fire escape etc. as tags are moved within the building the data received is used to produce reports on present locations of all tagged personnel, assets, stock etc.

Question: How would we use this information?

• The information could be used for health and safety emergency situations by producing continuous real time locations of all personnel, this information is invaluable during emergency evacuation situations.
• Preventing personnel from entering hazardous areas by means of intelligent access control.
• Continuous real time stock control up dates on high cost units.
• High and low security situations by monitoring all personnel movements.
• Time in attendance info for salary generation as Xtag would supersede all existing systems.

Question: Is it expensive?

We believe that Xtag offers cutting edge technology at affordable prices. As Xtag systems can incorporate new requirements our system can grow with you making Xtag a perfect business partner now and in the future.

Question: Is the end user software difficult to learn

Xtag end user software can be taught to personnel with the very basic of computer skills. As historical data is stored reports can be generated on any number of fields creating a powerful tool in today's competitive market place.

Question: What ongoing costs are there.

The batteries within the tags last three years so initial set up cost can be written down over that period. The software licence is renewable annually, which includes phone cover back up and software updates.

Question: How reliable is the technology

Xtag systems are state of the art digital electronic devices manufactured within a quality system complying with ISO9000. Each intelligent tag contains a safety check device that looks at itself to confirm battery ok and program running ok. As the batteries come closer to the end of there three year life span they send a signal to the operating PC to alert staff that the tag will need changing. If the tag processor fails for whatever reason i.e. electrical outside influences the tag contains an automatic reboot chip.

Question: Is Xtag an RFID product?

Xtag can be classed as an Ultra Long Range Active RFID product. Xtag solutions offer advantages over traditional active/passive RFID solutions (where the tag is passive and the reader is active). Xtag tags are continually active, issuing a beacon signal approximately every 2 seconds; this ensures that all the tags are monitored and the Xtag software can immediately show events such as tag tampering, low battery warnings or the current location of any one of the tags at any given time.
