What RFID Enabled Solutions does

RFID Enabled Solutions (RES) is a private Ohio-headquartered RFID systems integrator founded in 2009 that designs, deploys, and supports enterprise-grade RFID tracking solutions across retail, healthcare, manufacturing, food processing, logistics, and rail. The company builds a portfolio of vertical-specific software platforms — AIMS for asset inventory management, RIMS for retail inventory management, HIMS for healthcare inventory and consignment tracking — underpinned by patented Cortex readers and Neuron tags that operate in challenging environments including frozen storage and metal-rich industrial settings. RES integrates these platforms with customer ERP systems without requiring changes to existing applications and supports Active Directory authentication, enabling non-disruptive enterprise deployment.

RES generates revenue through a hybrid model combining RFID hardware sales (tags, readers, antennas), software platform licensing and subscription, professional services for design, integration, and 24/7 support, and the recently launched Insta-Trac recurring managed service that removes upfront capital requirements for mid-market operators. Go-to-market spans direct enterprise field sales for large custom deployments and a productized self-service motion for Insta-Trac, supplemented by technology partnerships with Zebra, Avery Dennison, Alien Technology, and Motorola for hardware components. The company reports 35 corporate clients, 215 global project locations, and 720 distinct read points, and serves customers including Broadcom, Cardinal Health, PPG Industries, Schneider Electric, Union Pacific Railroad, Panalpina, and Zimmer Ohio across the US, Europe, and Asia.

Core offering

RFID Enabled Solutions designs, manufactures, and deploys enterprise-grade RFID systems combining patented hardware (Cortex readers, Neuron tags) with proprietary software platforms (AIMS for asset tracking, RIMS for retail inventory, HIMS for healthcare inventory). The company delivers custom RFID implementations—including hardware, software licensing, integration with existing ERP systems, and 24/7 support—across retail, healthcare, manufacturing, and asset-intensive industries, plus a subscription-based Insta-Trac service for mid-market operators.

Product overview

RFID Enabled Solutions (RES) offers a portfolio of specialized RFID platforms and solutions across three core verticals: AIMS for general asset tracking, RIMS for retail inventory management, and HIMS for healthcare inventory management. These platforms share a common RFID infrastructure (tags, readers, antennas) and AIMS software backbone. Beyond core platforms, RES offers specialized products including Synaptron (Cortex readers/Neuron tags for temperature and location tracking), Food Tracer Pro for food safety, PASS for access control, and Process Management for manufacturing logistics. RES also delivers its technology as a productized service through Insta-Trac (no-CapEx subscription model) and recently introduced BT Tracking as a Bluetooth-based alternative to passive RFID. The company holds 15+ years of experience since founding in 2009.
