Fort Wayne, IN - November 24, 2008, Northern Apex Corporation and Washi Wrap, LLC create the premier inventorying and tracking solution for museum and art gallery collections. In 2002, Northern Apex Corporation - a RFID (radio frequency identification) integrator, created ARTiFACT TRACTM. ARTiFACT TRACTM is an RFID based software and hardware set designed specifically for museums and art galleries. ARTiFACT TRACTM utilizes RFID tags placed safely and strategically on precious pieces of art to track their movements both throughout and in-between museums and art galleries. Besides location tracking, ARTiFACT TRACTM can be used for inventory control, membership access and temperature monitoring. ARTiFACT TRACTM has been deployed in museums throughout the United States and Canada, but now Northern Apex has expanded its product offering, thanks to a new partnership with Washi Wrap, LLC.
