Who is Panasonic and their IIoTS business unit?

§ Omni-ID has been a Jovix partner for many years – Designing specific identification solutions, such as:

• Active RFID hash environment tags
• Passive RFID hard tags and printable hanging tags

§ Panasonic purchased the assets of Omni-ID in January of 2019 – creating an Industrial IoT business unit for RFID and Material Flow solutions – Part of a $20B division of Industrial Solutions § Panasonic will continue to partner with Atlas – Creating unique solutions for you with expanded capability!

ID Technology Tradeoffs

Laser Marking

Lowest unit cost Extremely durable Creates standard barcodes Requires capital investment (Marker)

Passive RFID

Low Unit Cost Visible labelling Wireless ID Attachment and Durability Read Range

Active RFID

Long range reads Low reader costs Barcode & Passive RFID integrated Higher Unit Cost

5

Laser Marking

§ Technology has improved dramatically – Speed (barcode in 0.25 secs) – On-metal performance § Cost has been cut in half – Markers are now less than half the cost of 7 - 10 years ago § Marking as a service – Where volumes are high (automotive) Portable Pipe Marker Typical Laser Marking Applications (metals) Laser on Stainless Steel

6

Passive RFID

§ Enables short range, fast scanning and locating § Inexpensive, global standard § Attachment methods include – Adhesive (including metal bond epoxy) – Ties and Straps – Mechanical fasteners § Hard Tags are extremely durable § Labels are less expensive but may not survive transport

7

Active RFID Tags

§ Jovix Tag was built for harsh environment yards – Rugged outer over mold over strong internal frame – Withstands tremendous force and abuse – Battery that operates under -40°C § Long range reads – up to 1000m has been experienced in field testing § Signal at low frequency (433 MHz) enables propagation through rain, ice and snow – Can be read fully submerged under water!

8

Enhancements to Active Tags

Looking for User Feedback on new GPS capture feature § Methodology – Tag acquires GPS signal to mark location – Motion sensor only allows receiver to be on briefly – Tag reports location through radio backhaul § Two tracking modes – When the tag stops moving or – When the tag starts moving until it stops

9

New Active Technologies

§ Bluetooth 5.1 specification – made for tags – Major enhancement to range (800m) – Adds AoA/AoD technology

• Measuring angles for accurate RTLS

§ Early discussions and testing of technology – Shows some promise, much more validation to experience (early stage R&D) – Challenge is outdoor harsh environment § If approved and adopted – Lower costs – Operates with consumer mobility devices
