Elecsys Corporation's Radix Subsidiary Announces $2.6 Million Order For Shipment To South Africa |
|
|
|
Olathe, Kansas (July 7, 2008) - Elecsys Corporation (AMEX: ASY), announced today
that its Radix Corporation subsidiary has received a $2.6 million order to supply
a newly developed configuration of its flagship FW900 handheld computing product
to Transnet, a world-class transport and logistics company that operates the railways,
ports and pipelines throughout South Africa. The new variant of this industry leading
ultra-rugged handheld computer, developed in partnership with the South Africa-based
Computer Foundation, integrates both global positioning system (GPS) and radio frequency
identification(RFID) technologies with cutting-edge data communication techniques.
Radix President Dave Wakefield commented, "The vast and growing market for logistics
tracking and management solutions demands an ultra-rugged handheld computing solution.
This market is one of several that we have identified where users have become dissatisfied
with less rugged mobile computing solutions and Radix is well-positioned to meet
the increasing need for truly rugged devices. We look forward to working closely
with both Computer Foundation and Transnet to ensure the success of this project
and enhance our relationship with these outstanding organizations."
This order, to be delivered by the end of October, is the initial phase of a larger
Transnet project that could generate similar orders for Radix over the next three
years, as Transnet expands its infrastructure as an integral part of the growing
South African economy. Radix is a recognized leader in providing ultra-rugged and
reliable handheld computing devices for use in harsh environments where data integrity
is paramount.
Karl Gemperli, president and chief executive officer of Elecsys, added, "Since our
acquisition of the Radix business nine months ago, we have made targeted investments
in engineering development that could expand our business into additional markets.
Being selected to work on this project with Transnet and Computer Foundation is
a major accomplishment for the team at Radix. We are optimistic about the future
growth potential at Radix and will continue to invest in new regions, markets, and
business partners."
Computer Foundation specializes in designing, developing and deploying integrated
geographic information systems and business data management solutions worldwide.
The Radix handheld computers will be part of a nationwide logistics tracking system
that Computer Foundation is developing for the South African Freight Rail division
of Transnet.

ESRI International User Conference |
|
|
|
ESRI International User Conference, was held on August 7 - 12, 2006 at San Diego
Convention Center, San Diego, CA. This conference is the largest GIS event of the
year and a great opportunity to network with GIS and IT professionals from around
the world.
Environmental Systems Research Institute is one of the world's largest Geographical
Information Systems (GIS) software providers. The ESRI International Users Group
is the user meeting, symposium and tradeshow all rolled into one in beautiful San
Diego, CA. With over 15,000 attendees, this is the biggest show Radix attends each
year. This year we exhibited our ultra-rugged mobile computers that are ideal for
the GIS/GPS market space.
Radix introduced the FW900 handheld computer and the FW1000 pen tablet with GPS
capabilities. These products were met with rave reviews by the attendees of the
show. Radix was the only manufacturer that actually dropped its equipment into a
water tank to demonstrate our outdoor capabilities. We pleasantly surprised GIS,
GPS and other outdoor mobile computer users looking for ultra-rugged products for
their working environment.
