AIDC Solution: Vantage ID Applications Announces Spin-Out From Parent Company RSI ID Technologies

Vantage ID Applications (Vantage), an automatic identification and data capture solutions provider, announced recently it has spun-out from parent company RSI ID Technologies (RSI). The spin-out, which took effect on August 6, 2007, allows Vantage to focus on data collection and process automation solutions including, bar codes, security seals, tamper evident labels and wireless solutions not dependant on RFID.

Since entering the RFID space, RSI has invested heavily in RFID technology, helping to drive industry quality standards, lower RFID tag costs and foster worldwide RFID adoption. "RSI's RFID solutions have revolutionized the industry and we're proud to have been part of it, but we've reached a pivotal juncture where we feel our customers will be better served by two companies, each providing a separate technology, than from one multi-technology provider," said Nate Rubin, RSI Co-founder and President of Vantage.

"Vantage is well poised to capitalize on the extensive product marking and data collection experience they have, and we expect them to continue to be a leader in the field," said RSI CEO and Co-founder, Wolf Bielas. While Vantage has shifted its focus to non-RFID solutions, RSI will continue to provide innovative RFID solutions to global markets. Vantage is now positioned to take advantage of the intellectual property related to the bar code business including the Pressiza, WetWarn, and TamperWarn marks. Rubin adds, "We are excited and optimistic about the future of Vantage. We are eager to serve our customers under the new name, by providing the most comprehensive and affordable AIDC solutions possible." 2 of 2
