What is RFID?
These tags are small electronic chips embedded into the chain capacity tags. The RFID chip itself does not store any information but contains an unique identifier which is the ‘key’ to unlock product, inspection, and important safety information.

This information is stored in a database which can be read by any computer with access to the internet. NO special software is required, just your late version internet browser like Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Netscape, etc.

How do I get access to the database?
Access is made availabe through a website and a series of usernames and passwords. All you
need is a computer with internet access. The database is NOT located at Unirope but at a secure professional managed information storage facility.

How do I read the RFID tag?
You can purchase a stationary or handheld RFID reader. But even if you don’t have one you can still access any information as long as you have available the sling serial number. As a matter of fact, you don’t even need anything to start browsing through your entire sling inventory if you wish so!
