Welcome to the website of the New Zealand RFID Pathfinder Group


The New Zealand RFID Pathfinder Group is a non-profit, membership based incorporated society. Our vision is for New Zealand to achieve superior economic and competitive performance through the adoption of RFID and EPC technologies. Our mission is to make the process of evolution (or revolution) faster and make the result optimal. We will work with industry and individuals to educate, research, pilot and implement RFID to provide valuable leanings for our members.

Times-7 innovation key to airport baggage handling success
Specialist RFID technology company, Times-7, continues to cement its position as a leading provider of innovative RFID technology for use in some of the world's biggest and busiest airports.

A partnership with Danish company Lyngsoe Systems saw Times-7 RFID antenna technology used in two of their high-profile RFID integration projects in 2008 - Milan's Malpensa Airport, and Lisbon Airport.

Malpensa Airport was significant both in terms of the scale and scope of the project. Malpensa is Italy's busiest international airport, handling over 24 million passengers a year. It is also the first airport in Europe, and only the 3rd globally, to introduce comprehensive RFID baggage tracking across the entire baggage handling system from baggage check-in onwards.

New Zealand Study Finds UHF Superior for Livestock Tracking
Preliminary field trials indicate that ultra high frequency (UHF) technology would be far more efficient and less costly for electronic identification of livestock than the low frequency (LF) systems currently favoured in New Zealand.

The UHF RFID trials with deer, sheep and cattle resulted in fast and simultaneous identification of multiple animals at high levels of reliability and performance in on-farm and processing facility locations. The trials used UHF radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and readers.

EPC/RFID arrives! New Zealand's first major roll-out.

New Zealand’s first major commercial roll-out of radio frequency identification (RFID) on the Electronic Product Code (EPC) standard is well underway within the kiwifruit industry.
GS1 New Zealand, through its Supply Chain Enhancement Programme, has designed and, given close ongoing support to the implementation of a system that will enable EastPack to track and trace every pallet of kiwifruit throughout its extensive Bay of Plenty operations.
This is likely to be the first whole-of-operation application of EPC/RFID technology in the Asia-Pacific region. It is certainly an application designed and implemented specifically to meet the demands of a large-scale operation in the heart of New Zealand’s export sector.
