History

EPC4ROI, LP was founded in 2005 with a product invention called Tag Rover. This was a pallet moving vehicle accessory that allows RFID tags to be read as orders are being picked in a warehouse. Although major suppliers and distributors found this concept appealing, it would have required that all cases in a warehouse be RFID tagged. Since this was not the situation then and not even today, EPC4ROI used its RFID expertise to develop Mountain Pass products for the ski and valet parking industries. Mountain Pass Systems, LLC was founded in October of 2009.
