RFID Journal Steinmetz - June, 2011
A Diamond Ping
Steinmetz Diamond Group uses RFID to track, manage and secure tiny, highly valuable
gemstones.
By John Edwards
June 20, 2011—Diamond transport and storage has traditionally been a low-tech and surprisingly
informal affair, especially given the value of the items involved. Each diamond is kept inside a
"brifka"—a paper parcel marked with the stone's principal characteristics. While the technique is cheap,
simple and widely supported, it provides nothing in the way of visibility, business intelligence or insight
beyond what an observer can read off the package. Additionally, for high-volume companies, brifkas
demand endless hours of painstaking manual processing and data entry to achieve accurate (though
delayed) inventory counts.
