How does tIM work?
The basic building block of tIM is an RFID chip with a unique GS1 number on which product data is stored. This chip, or “tag”, can be built in and furnished with the relevant data in the factory, or introduced retrospectively when the product is already with the end user. Tags are available in all types and sizes and can be attached to the product visibly or non-visibly.
The information in the tag can be read with the aid of a hand-held reader with a touch screen. Via GPRS technology the reader communicates with the tIM database, where the data is stored or can be processed. Using the reader, a service request can be made remotely, on location, without having to use a PC or the telephone.
The tIM database is on a central server that can be addressed via a website, which is only accessible to registered users in the possession of a unique log on code. The user can then manage his or her inventory on this website. If required, the site can also be provided with the user’s corporate identity. It is also possible to integrate the database in the user’s Intranet or Facility Management Information System (FMIS).
After being commissioned by the Rijksgebouwendienst (Dutch Government Buildings Agency) tIM developed a unique solution to store inspection reports in an online database.
The Dutch government’s Sustainable Procurement Guideline makes it a mandatory requirement that manufacturers provide a composition label with their products.
