Fibergrations and SATO Partner to Provide an RFID End-to-End Solution for Ultimate Customer Satisfaction Worldwide

Nashville, TN and Charlotte, NC – July 8, 2005 -

Fiberrgrations, a leading RFID integrator and installations company, has partnered with SATO Corporation, a global leader in barcode printing, labeling and EPC/RFID solutions, to bring customers complete solutions for their RFID compliance needs.

The partnership between SATO and Fibergrations enables both companies an opportunity to expand their offerings of RFID end-to-end software and hardware solutions, warehouse management solutions, and complete installation and integration services. With the broad based knowledge of RFID implementations from tracking assets, tracking people and access requirements, and the mandates of tracking inventory by most major retailers, Fibergrations' and SATO's past performance now provides a competitive edge in the marketplace.

Fibergrations brings in-depth knowledge of supply chain management and software development coupled with real world RFID implementations. Together, these two elements have enabled Fibergrations' customers to realize creative and practical solutions, as well as real ROI benefits. SATO is an integral part in this strategy with a multi-protocol, Gen 2 printer solution that can grow as the RFID industry evolves. The combination of these two companies' products, solutions, and services simplifies the process to get EPC-compliant RFID solutions quickly to the marketplace.

According to Mike Beedles, president of Fibergrations, “Many of our current customers' projects, after thorough testing of the systems, found SATO products to be the most efficient and logical choice for their RFID application. We really like the fact that SATO has branches worldwide so if we need to provide an RFID compliance mandate to a vendor, who has manufacturing in China and distribution centers in the USA , together we have the solution. That's why we chose SATO as our trusted partner.”

John Anderson , SATO's RFID Solutions Manager said, “We are thrilled to create this solid partnership with Fibergrations. SATO has been a forward thinking, forward moving leader in the RFID arena, and has taken a global leading role in the RFID industry. Fibergrations has a proven track record of implementing supply chain management and software solutions. Together, Fibergrations and SATO have already deployed many RFID-enabled printers, readers, and systems for health care, retail, and DOD clients. We have received strong, positive feedback from our customers using SATO/Fibergrations solutions. Our partnership now allows Fibergrations and SATO to deploy printer and application solutions throughout the world.”
