PervasID wins a Queen's Award for Enterprise: Innovation 2021
PervasID, founded by University of Cambridge alumnus Dr Sabesan Sithamparanathan and CEPS CDT Directors Prof Richard Penty, Dr Michael Crisp and Prof Ian White, is a fast-growing technology company that designs and supplies world-leading, passive (battery-free) RFID fixed reader systems for automating inventory tracking, stock taking and asset management processes. Their patented products are enabling organisations across a wide range of markets to streamline processes by providing unparalleled visibility into goods, assets and people.
The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise are the most prestigious business awards in the country, with winning businesses able to use the esteemed Queen’s Awards emblem for the next five years. The award recognises PervasID’s pioneering work in battery-free tag tracking technology to allow enterprises to improve how they manage inventory and optimise their asset management. PervasID now joins just over 7,000 UK enterprises which have received this Royal recognition since the Awards were established in 1965.
PervasID’s technology for passive RAIN (RAdio frequency IdentificatioN) RFID fixed reader systems for automating inventory tracking, stock-taking and asset management processes was developed in Cambridge and is sold around the world. Clients include high-profile department stores, industrial companies, healthcare establishments, systems integrators and large-scale enterprises.
This unique technology solution delivers unparalleled accuracy, speed and cost effectiveness. A single PervasID RFID reader can cover up to 400 m2 with 99% plus accuracy in real time, capable of readily scaling to much larger areas, such as industrial warehouses, multi-storey buildings or sprawling healthcare campuses. The company’s RFID readers have significantly greater accuracy, range and speed than any other RFID readers on the market.
“It is fantastic to see this technology recognised through this Queen’s Awards for Enterprise. The original concept was developed as part of a PhD project and wider collaboration which included UCL and Cambridge investigators who are now part of the CEPS CDT.
The broad range of end-users of these products shows how PhD research and the UCL/Cambridge collaboration can have impact well beyond the academic community and high tech sectors," said Dr Michael Crisp, co-founder of PervasID and CEPS CDT Programme Manager.
