A joint venture between an entrepreneur from Brooklyn, N.Y., and daytaOhio may soon solve the problem of poor accuracy rates for reading RFID tags, the next generation of identification technology for tracking the flow of products from manufacture to consumers.

The joint venture, Radio Frequency in Dayton, LLC (RFiD) brings the brainchild of entrepreneur Benson Chanowitz of Brooklyn, N.Y., to Dayton. The final product will be a system for validating the performance of the antennas and readers for RFID environments in manufacturing, distribution, retail and defense industries. The Dayton Development Coalition (DDC) is supporting the development of this company and recently announced initial financing through the Dayton Region Entrepreneurial Signature Program (ESP) which the Coalition leads. This program is a State of Ohio Third Frontier project to assist companies commercializing new products in emerging industries, according to Jim Leftwich, president and CEO of the DDC.
