“Thanks to identification technology based on electronic tags (called "smart tags" or RFID) and its expertise as business solutions’ integrator, Athelia provides industrial customers with on line access to information to track mobile assets, industrial operations and process automation. That is demonstrated by our many projects, implanted successfully during the last 15 years”, Conrado said.

Then he continued: “Athelia is the Air Liquide’s added value in Traceability.
In 2007, more than 500,000 Air Liquide industrial and medical cylinders have been equipped with “tags” (based on RFID technology) that relieve its customers of the task of supply and inventory management. Through a successful implementation of this cutting edge technology, Air Liquide created Athelia that adds a unique, intelligent and secure identification method for its products and processes.

Athelia is part of Air Liquide Services Division, with the vocation of providing new high value added services in selected markets. It takes advantage of the Group’s long experience in terms of industrial efficiency and development of industrial services. This expertise to trace industrial and medical products allows Athelia to create and integrate:
Tracing software, designed and developed by Athelia to trace and control different mobile assets
Fixed and Handheld readers, which permit capture and registration of data
Packaged RFID Tag, designed specifically by Athelia for each concrete application, and which is capable to resist the most adverse environments
