NFI employs an RFID-enabled track-and-trace system to establish and guarantee the chain of custody of crime-scene evidence. Evidence is collected, packed and sent to NFI for forensic analysis. All materials are tagged using a smart label with a bar code, readable text and a built-in RFID tag, either at the scene, or upon arriving at NFI. In the building, 50 doors are equipped with an RFID reader and antennas to track the movements of items and personnel. Hear how NFI uses the system to prove two items were never present in the same room together, excluding the possibility of cross-contamination, and learn how evidence is protected—and how, if it illegally leaves the building, an audible alarm is sounded immediately.
