MISSION STATEMENT

Zia’s mission is to develop and commercialize a proprietary real time location system (RTLS) using standard protocols, to remotely monitor and control a wide variety of assets within defined wireless networks.

Zia’s vision is to be the leading innovative RTLS provider in the Retail, Security, Construction, Health Care, Transportation, and other target markets where asset tracking and monitoring is critical.

The Problem

• Where are my Assets now?

• Are my Assets working efficiently?

• How can I safeguard my Assets?

• With Asset knowledge, how can I improve the bottom line?

The Solution Real Time Location System (RTLS)

• Private wireless mesh network

• Smart Location Tags and Sensor Monitoring

• Proprietary Firmware and Software

• Patent Pending

The Solution

The System is composed of:

• Hardware (Wireless sensors, and radios)

• Firmware• Solar Power• Software (Administration,

Reporting, Mapping and Alerting)

Mesh Networked Location and Sensor Tags

• “Smart” mobile tags (M) for each asset

• Tags (M) have a battery and a 2-way radio

• Tags (M) have sensors to determine location, temperature, etc

• Fixed reference node (R) used to calculate the location of the tags (M)

• Reference nodes (R) collect tag data and extend the reach of the tags for over one mile.

• Gateway “black box” collects data from (R)

• Gateway enables remote access via the Internet for reporting, mapping, admin, and alarms

• Additional MarketsAdditional Markets– Homeland SecurityHomeland Security– Premise (home and business)Premise (home and business)– Financial (floor plan lending)Financial (floor plan lending)

Health Care• A $2.1B market by 2016

Ambulatory Care Facilities • Number 1 frustration to Hospital

– Finding moveable medical equipment– Leads to hiding and hoarding equipment

• Huge potential savings with RTLS• 1.2M Ambulatory Care Facilities

Elderly and Disabled Care Sector• Elderly Population will reach over 40 million

by 2011• 20 million individuals classified as MR/DD• State Institutions continue to close • Independent living as an alternative to

hospital and nursing home care

Value Proposition• provide less costly security and tracking

products and services, by lowering manpower costs.

• Independent living also helps reduce insurance costs.

Transportation

• Transportation market sector:– New & Used Auto Dealers – over 115,000 dealerships in US– Only 19% of global market

• How it Works:– Tag attached to vehicle– Routers placed strategically on lot– Tags associated with Serial

Number– Tags contain accelerometer sensor– GeoZones– Alerts sent to PC, PDA, or

Smartphone

Transportation

Features– Location of vehicle calculated

to within 3 meters– Real-time, 24X7 monitoring

and inventory management– Notifies Sales and Service

when Customer drives onto lot– Does not interfere with WIFI

network– Sends notification if after-

hours movement– Tracks customer vehicle as it

moves through Service area– No scanning

Value Proposition– Eliminate theft – can cost a

dealership several $100k per yr– Reduce time spent looking for

vehicles (local and satellite lots)

– Enhanced Customer Service– Reduce security manpower– Improve inventory

management– Improve Employee efficiency– Improves planned or

unplanned Floor Plan Audits– Less Expensive than WIFI

Construction

• Over 700,000 construction firms in US

• Represents only 30% of total global market

• Construction site theft estimated to be $1b annually

• Value Proposition – - Accurate and timely sensor

readings – - reduce cost of replacing

equip– -reduce down time due to

lost equipment (tools, appliances, scrap metal)

– - Few competitors appear to be serving construction site security market

Retail

• Indoor Usage - Shopper Insights• Value Proposition - Data Collection

– Study Shopper habits– Study Traffic Flow– Determine best floor layout– Promotional Display traffic

Retail

• Location and security• Shopping Cart theft is a $100m

problem• Value Proposition

– - Reduce time to look for carts

– - Reduce fines– - Ensure that carts are

available for customers– - Protect asset investment– - Geo Zones Perimeter

Warehouse Inventory

• Pallet Location

• Forklift Tracking and Location

CIPPThe Problem

• Currently, temperature readings taken manually, only at the B-Station.

• Temperature readings along the pipeline are unknown.

• Proper resin curing requires appropriate temperature readings every 20 feet, or so, along the replacement pipe.

• More difficult to warrant the job.

CIPP SolutionOur Real-Time Location System

• Private wireless mesh network

• Smart Location Tags and Sensor Monitoring

• Proprietary Firmware and Software

• Patent Pending

CIPP Solution Wireless Mesh Networked Sensors

• “Smart” tags (M) laid within pipe

• Tags (M) have a battery and a 2-way radio

• Tag (M) sensors determine temperature

• Fixed reference node (R) collect Tag Readings and can extend the data reach for over one mile

• Gateway “black box” collects data from (R)

• Gateway communicates with onsite computer which collects and reports temperature readings

• Gateway also enables remote access of data via the Internet

CIPP Market• Over $2 Trillion in

infrastructure projects in next 5 years in U.S.

• Of this, Rehab of thousands of miles of sanitary and storm sewers

• In Ohio alone, $11.6 billion in wastewater infrastructure repairs needed

• Remote sensor Monitoring at CIPP sites is unique to the market

• Value Proposition – Accurate and timely

sensor readings (takes away recording errors)

– Pinpoints actual time of cure process

– Installed to design specs – Reduction in installation

time of 3-6 hours– Ensures product

safeguards and QA– Customer satisfaction

CIPP Market• Temperature Readings

will be sent wirelessly to the onsite computer

• Readings will be displayed in graphical as well as report format

• Report on Temperature Duration

• Alerts can be sent to handheld smartphones if readings exceeds thresholds
