Cubiq Uses RFID to Create 'Magic Closet'

Start-up Cubiq has announced its Cubiq On-Demand Concierge Storage Service, which uses RFID-tagged plastic storage containers, which it calls cubes. Each cube is about 24 inches long, 19 inches wide and 12.5 inches tall, with a volume of 18 gallons and a weight limit of 50 pounds. An Alien Technology ultra-high frequency (UHF) EPC Gen 2 Squiglette (ALN-9730) tag is affixed to the container's interior and a bar-coded label is attached an exterior side. Customers contact Cubiq, which sends one of its "concierges" to the customer's home.
