SimplexGrinnell and GuardRFID have executed a distribution agreement that formally provides SimplexGrinnell access to GuardRFID’s products and solutions.

This new relationship will allow SimplexGrinnell to expand offerings to its health care customers. It will enable them to offer features such as GuardRFID’s TotGaurd system, and the wander prevention and asset locating systems to more healthcare facilities.

TotGaurd is a RFID-based locating system that is used to monitor newborn patients. It consists of small dual-tamper sensing ankle/wristband tags that feature customizable alerts and alarms to provide enhanced infant security. Also, they are disposable to counter biohazard concerns.
