For Immediate Release
LOFTWARE AND RFID4U ENTER COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP TO DELIVER THE REGION'S PREMIER RFID CENTER OF EXCELLENCE BY YEAR END
PORTSMOUTH, NH and SUNNYVALE, CA, July 05, 2006 - Loftware, Inc., a leading
independent technology innovator of global marking solutions, and RFID4U, the country's
largest RFID training company, announced today they have entered into a collaborative
partnership to jointly develop an RFID Center of Excellence at Loftware's new corporate
headquarters in Portsmouth, NH. Scheduled to open to a select set of customers by November of
this year and be fully-operational and open to all by the second quarter of 2007, the center will
feature a combination of courses offered by RFID4U for advanced RFID certification as well as
a real-world manufacturing solutions testing center equipped and staffed by Loftware. All under
one roof and designed to provide a unique combination of educational curricula as well as handson experience with a wide variety of RFID technologies and methodologies, the Loftware Center of Excellence will be unique among all such facilities in New England.
This collaborative partnership comes on the heels of Loftware's move to a new 40,000 square
foot facility in Portsmouth, NH in May, 2006. Since 1986, Loftware Inc. has been designing and
deploying auto identification solutions for hundreds of leading Fortune 500 and 1000 companies
within the retail, healthcare, automotive, manufacturing and logistics markets. The Company's
RFID Center of Excellence will be demonstrating real world application of the best practices
from lessons learned at implementations around the world, and will be showing applications
using the Loftware RRM, a highly customizable RFID reader controlling middleware platform
designed for integration with existing value-added systems.
According to RFID4U Vice President of Professional Services, Mark Brown, "Many
applications shown will demonstrate things only talked about at other facilities. Demonstrations
will include events relevant to every-day supply chain issues, and the solutions shown will
enforce the concept of driving tangible business value while still meeting mandates. We are
excited about the opportunity to work with Loftware to deliver on the vision we share for this
technology."
