Passive UHF RFID is the fastest growing asset identification technology in the world and used to verify, trace, and track products in inventory, retail, manufacturing, utilities, and construction industries. With the InfraMarker RFID app, those RFID-marked products can now be directly integrated with the power of GIS and asset management software.

“ArcGIS is a powerful solution for infrastructure management, made even more valuable when coupled with RFID asset identification technology. We are proud to extend Esri’s ArcGIS software with InfraMarker RFID and provide this additional capability for Esri partners and users”, said Mike Klonsinski, president of Berntsen.

InfraMarker, a division of Berntsen International, is the leader in connected RFID-enabled infrastructure asset marking products and software. The InfraMarker RFID app connects RFID marked products with GIS and Asset Management software while InfraMarker RFID-enabled marking products and equipment are specially designed to work with the app for management of utility infrastructure such as stormwater, gas, electrical and fiber.

The InfraMarker RFID App is available on the ArcGIS Marketplace. The ArcGIS Marketplace is a curated digital geospatial channel of system ready apps, content, solutions, and professional services from Esri’s ecosystem of partners for ArcGIS users to identify and discover additional resources for ArcGIS software.
