Hi-G-Tek

Hi-G-Tek, based in Rockville, Md., is the developer of a new active-RFID platform for physical-asset monitoring and control. The company is commercializing patented technology from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory that enables “sensing” of assets, whether stationary or in transit, indoors or outdoors. Hi-G-Tek’s electronic tags, locks and seals detect the status or condition of an asset, allowing for unprecedented levels of real-time security. When combined with asset location or any common long-range communication system, such as cellular, radio or satellite, Hi-G-Tek’s products instantly deliver mission-critical data to the customer, anywhere in the world. Battelle Ventures participated in a $10-million round. The company exited in 2010 via management buyout; Ralph Taylor-Smith remains on the Board.
