Cenmetrix was recently awarded a project of developing a RFID document management software solution to a large US Corporate that specialises in providing storage and innovative efficiency systems to all types of businesses and government agencies in the US.

The RFID solution allows each document to be tagged with a RFID sticker and document details are recorded against the RFID tag. When the document is stored, the stored location will be saved and it can be read using a handheld reader. In addition, while documents are moved through the doors, the application monitors whether it is an authorized movement with the use of RFID readers fixed at the doors. If the movement is not authorized, the system generates an alarm. The system is also equipped with great benefits such as classification of documents by type, credential and access management for handling specific documents. 

Elaborating on getting awarded the project, Chittananda Kulatilake, Director, Cenmetrix said “We have been a market leader in Sri Lanka when it comes to identity management solutions, be it biometrics or RFID based.
