ARTiFACT TRACTM - Washi Wrap, LLC Partnership -
The Inventory Tracking Solution for Museums and Art Galleries
Fort Wayne, IN - November 24, 2008, Northern Apex Corporation and Washi
Wrap,
LLC create the premier inventorying and tracking solution for museum and art
gallery
collections.
In 2002, Northern Apex Corporation - a RFID (radio frequency identification)
integrator, created ARTiFACT TRACTM. ARTiFACT TRACTM is an RFID based
software and hardware set designed specifically for museums and art
galleries.
ARTiFACT TRACTM utilizes RFID tags placed safely and strategically on
precious
pieces of art to track their movements both throughout and in-between
museums and art galleries. Besides location tracking, ARTiFACT TRACTM can
be used for inventory control, membership access and temperature monitoring.
ARTiFACT TRACTM has been deployed in museums throughout the United States
and Canada, but now Northern Apex has expanded its product offering, thanks
to
a new partnership with Washi Wrap, LLC. Washi Wrap, LLC produces the safest
and highest quality encapsulated RFID tags available that are suitable for
attachment
to museum quality artworks. The hand-made Washi Wrap Paper Tag combines the
technology of radio frequency identification and the ancient art of Japanese
paper-making.
Developed in consultation with a paper conservator, the Washi Paper Tag is
constructed
of acid-free and lignin-free Japanese paper, perfectly formatted for most
items in any collection.
Together ARTiFACT TRACTM and Washi Wrap, LLC make the ideal inventory and
tracking solution for museums and art galleries.
