IdentiQuik Smart Couplings(TM) Reduce Liability Risks in Manufacturing


Colder's Rick Garber Speaks on the Topic at RFID Journal LIVE!

St. Paul, MN - May 2, 2006 - Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has become an important operational safeguard in the manufacturing process. It makes operations smarter and helps companies minimize error, avoid costly mistakes and reduce liabilities. During a presentation today at RFID Journal LIVE! (MGM Grand, Las Vegas), Rick Garber, vice president of marketing for Colder Products Company, will discuss the use of RFID in manufacturing and the benefits of integrating smart connections into operational processes. Colder is a leading provider of quick disconnect couplings used in fluid handling and manufacturing operations.

Garber will offer insights on RFID options and strategies for successfully integrating the technology into products and processes. The presentation, entitled Embedding RFID in Products and Processes, will take place at 11:15 a.m. in room 112.

"The complexity of today's manufacturing processes has increased the need for smarter systems that can build equity protection and assure operational accuracy," states Garber. "Couplings and solutions that incorporate RFID technology provide an intelligent strategy for safely and efficiently managing manufacturing operations."

With the aid of IdentiQuik Smart Couplings(TM) featuring RFID technology, manufacturing equipment can electronically identify device types or connected media characteristics. This allows manufacturers to accurately verify fluid line connections.

The integration of RFID also enables companies to capture fluid and product data from point-of-origin through point-of-use, protecting overall brand integrity.

A six-year veteran at Colder, Garber successfully built the company's RFID engineering and marketing departments and quickly established the Smart Technology Business Unit as a key driver in the company's growth strategy. He is a leading advocate for smart technology.
