CORTE MADERA, Calif., March 30, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Smart-tek Solutions Inc. (OTCBB:STTK) and its subsidiary, Smart-tek Communications Inc., announced today that it is in advance stages to introduce its RTAC-PM poultry monitoring and containment system to officials in Singapore.
"The RFID poultry monitoring and containment system that we have designed to help in the fight against the spread of the avian flu has generated a tremendous amount of interest from the South-East Asian region," said Perry Law, President of Smart-tek Communications Inc. "While Singapore is currently bird flu free, surveillance and monitoring is a crucial element of their strategy to assure that it continues to be. They are very proactive in their fight against a potential outbreak of the H5N1 virus. We believe our system can be a valuable tool as part of their preventative strategy.
"We believe that Singapore would be looking for a containment system to be implemented at the poultry's point of entry into the Singapore food chain," said Law. "We designed our system to be flexible and scaleable to meet our customer's needs. Our design took into account that requirements will undoubtedly vary from country to country."
Smart-tek will also attempt to replicate the successful strategy it has undertaken in China, by locating, evaluating and engaging a licensee in the area, who will serve as the liaison with the government and facilitate implementation of the system upon final approval by the appropriate authorities.
The system, "RTAC-PM," was designed for the livestock industry and is targeted specifically for the poultry industry with user defined alerts that may assist governmental agencies to monitor poultry movement. The RTAC-PM system incorporates leading edge technology and is customized around customers' requirements with the flexibility to adapt to various types of OEM products.
"We believe the potential for application of the RTAC-PM system is tremendous in Singapore and it represents a great opportunity for Smart-tek to demonstrate the versatility of its RTAC-PM system," said Law.
