In the beginning, Beacon started specializing in shipping and loading systems, cargo handlers, hydraulic dock levelers, scissor lifts and palletizers. Since then, Beacon has widened its inventory to include many types of engineering equipment, building construction equipment and other special industrial material handling equipment. Beacon has grown into a fully diversified ergonomic material handling equipment company, including logistical science. Logistical science includes state of the art Radio Frequency Identification. RFID is the technology utilized in loss prevention and inventory control. Logistical RFID is the next evolution in bar-coding, providing real time visibility. Bulk scanning, without the human element, is possible with RFID. All data collected through the RFID process can be viewed at any time via the internet. US Patents include "Loading Dock Traffic Automation" and another US Patent entitled "Property Entrance and Exit Notification, Inventory Control System" that includes RFID, SAW, Barcode, Electromagnetic Wave and GPS technologies. Both US Patents cover a wide spectrum of logistical science for zone monitoring including indexing objects for attributes and location. RFID and GPS technology is ever growing within the US Department of Defense and the private business sector.
