Guardbook has focus on building the future with Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing. Pervasive computing is the next generation computing environments with information & communication technology everywhere, for everyone, at all times. Guardbook helps build solutions, develop products and offer its services to design, deploy and maintain pervasive computing networks for the future. Guardbook has started with the RFID Technology to provide real-time visibility networks, global supply chain security and real-time asset management. Guardbook is planning to build a large pervasive computing network to manage supply chains. Guardbook is also developing some exciting applications for the consumer market.

Guardbook considers the privacy of the individual paramount and would like to do business in an ethical manner. We would also like to have a independent privacy ombudsman in the near future to help us in this endeavor.

The ideal pervasive computing solution must include real-time data collection, structured data aggregation, and secure, automated, processing, distribution and management. Guardbook delivers this with its complete product offering. Guardbook is focusing on a number of application domains and will keep evolving its offerings with evolution in technologies and mankind.

Domains


Guardbook is focusing its efforts in developing products, solutions and services with specific focus on the following domains:

• Manufacturing - RFID can be used in a number of ways in the manufacturing industry. Some of the possible application areas are: part routing, program operations, bill of material, build orders, component needs, station to station data transfers, repair information, operation status, operation values, pass/fail data, host data transfers, part history and raw SPC data. RFID systems provide the means in manufacturing to decrease product failures by controlling the in process quality of products while allowing the manufacturer to better utilize the resources. Flexible manufacturing requires timely information provided to each location performing an operation. RFID can provide this information in a most economical way. As knowledge is gained through experience in using RFID, the applications will become more wide spread and common place. This will also have the effect of reducing the cost of an already very economically system. RFID in manufacturing is growing with each successful application and to continue this growth towards better ways to produce better products, it is increasingly important for the end users to become more knowledgeable about the uses and applications of RFID
  
  
• Healthcare - The healthcare industry presents a unique challenge and opportunity to the RFID solution developers. The impact of RFID technology can unprecedented in this sector. We are uniquely positioned to offer solutions which can benefit individuals, pharmacists, pharma companies, hospital administrators.
• Warehousing & Logistics - This is another sector where RFID technology can offer tremendous opportunities. We are designing real-time visibility solutions and networks which will enable organisations to optimise their operations.
  
  
• Retail - The retail industry will be one of the largest user and beneficiary of the revolution brought in by RFID technology. We are designing real-time visibility solutions encompassing the smart-shelves, security, customer information and optimisation.
  
  
• Consumer - We are designing a brand new way of RFID usage for consumers. The central and essential piece of our solutions will be the consumer and his/her need for information and privacy. The technology which we foresee will allow the consumer to have a total control over these.
