The Antwerp Institute of Gemmology (HRD Antwerp) has just announced the successful implementation of Scanology BV’s Diamond Identification and Traceability system using the Magellan Technology RFID PJM platform.
HRD Antwerp commissioned Scanology to automate the data capture and management reporting processes in HRD’s Diamond Certification Lab, resulting in total traceability of all diamonds in the lab.
Scanology developed a middleware package to interface between the Magellan’s readers and existing HRD software platforms to provide a solution for counting, stock-taking and process control of HRD Antwerp’s diamonds.
According to Scanology, the project achieved its target of automatically tracking 100% of the diamonds passing through the certification system, and did so on time and within budget.
