Résumé
SAIT Polytechnics and Osprey Informatics Inc. will collaborate on a year-long applied research project inwhich radiofrequency identification (RFID) technology will be added to the small company's videoanalytics-based product called Osprey Reach. The Calgary-based company's system provides software andvideo equipment for customers who wish to monitor assets in hazardous or remote locations. The goal of theproject is to investigate the incorporation of RFID tracking with the existing video analytics to improve thefunctionality and enhance the routing benefits of Osprey Reach.
