UHF RFID-enabled InfraMarker is buried
with underground assets.

Berntsen International Inc. received
a U.S. patent for its Ultra-High
Frequency (UHF) RFID technology,
the centerpiece of the company's
connected infrastructure locating and

asset management solutions.
UHF RFID, the global standard for
product tracking in retail and manufacturing, has had slower adoption
for underground utility marking
products because of its perceived
challenges of "reading" through
subsurface environments. Berntsen's
newly patented underground marker
optimizes the design to boost UHF
RFID performance, through mediums
such as soil or concrete, beyond the
capabilities of RFID-enabled products
on the market today.

CASE Celebrates 50 Years of Skid Steer
Manufacturing
CASE Construction Equipment celebrated 50 years of skid steer
manufacturing with a ceremony on April 3 at its Wichita, Kan., plant.
First built in 1969 at the Burlington, Iowa, facility, CASE skid steer
production eventually moved to Wichita.
"Skid steers completely transformed the construction equipment
landscape, and CASE has played a leading role in the evolution and
development of this product category throughout the last 50 years,"
said Michel Marchand, vice president-North America, CASE Construction Equipment. "These machines reflect every bit of our heritage,
from construction to agriculture, and we are committed to helping
our customers build strong communities and businesses with the help
of CASE skid steers built here in the U.S.A."
Global leaders Carl Gustaf Göransson, president of construction,
CNH Industrial; Larry Bryce, chief operating officer of construction
equipment, CNH Industrial; and Marchand marked the milestone
along with local CASE employees and members of the manufacturer's
Dealer Advisory Board. The event was hosted by Mike Peterson, plant
manager, CNH Wichita.
CASE skid steers and compact track loaders (CTL) are made "For
the World" in Wichita. The plant is designated at the "Silver Level"
for World-Class Manufacturing (WCM), one of the industry's highest
standards, globally, for the integrated management of manufacturing
plants and processes. *

"This is important because
ultra-high frequency RFID is a driver
of an Internet of Things world overall,
and our work extends the benefits of
IoT to infrastructure management,"
said Mike Klonsinski, president of
Berntsen. "Imagine a city where
fire hydrants, water laterals and
underground gas valves are marked
with RFID and connected to a cloudbased data management system. This
ground-to-cloud approach means
these assets can be better identified
and managed, which will lower
inspection and maintenance costs
and improve safety."
Berntsen has long been the
dominant name in the survey world
for quality marking products. This
patent is just the latest of multiple
innovations and awards granted for
the company's work in developing
connected RFID marking products
and solutions.
Founded in 1972, Madison,
Wisc.-based Berntsen International
Inc. provides marking products and
solutions to the land survey, utility
and construction industries.
