ARTiFACT TRAC^TM – 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 TRAC^TM. ARTiFACT TRAC^TM is an RFID based

software and hardware set designed specifically for museums and art galleries.

ARTiFACT TRAC^TM 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 TRAC^TM can

be used for inventory control, membership access and temperature monitoring.

ARTiFACT TRAC^TMhas 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 TRAC^TMand Washi Wrap, LLC make the ideal inventory and

tracking solution for museums and art galleries.
