NEWARK, Delaware – Working with Motorola Solutions, Inc., Radiant RFID announced that The University of Delaware has deployed Radiant’s asset tracking system, Virtual Asset Tracker, to secure more than $25 million in artwork.
Radiant’s asset tracking system uses Motorola’s XR series of fixed RFID readers at key areas within the University of Delaware’s Old College Gallery and RFID tags affixed to pieces of art, which activate security cameras when movement is detected, enabling video coverage of all incidents.
Skip Homiak, executive director of campus and public safety, states, “The University of Delaware is proactively developing new crime reduction and safety strategies that use leading-edge technologies to provide force multipliers to enhance campus safety. The objective is to maximize our police department resources to provide optimized security for university assets, as well as faculty, students, staff, and visitors.”
“The integration of Radiant RFID asset tracking technology with Motorola’s fixed RFID readers provides a solution that will allow the University of Delaware to increase visibility to high-value artwork through automation and continue to efficiently manage its campus safety operations,” said Mike Poldino, vice president and general manager of RFID, Motorola Solutions.
The University of Delaware plans to deploy the solution in other areas around campus for increased university inventory tracking and security.
