Eddie Stenild and I started working together in 1979 after we met at the IT Institute in Copenhagen. I needed his skills to develop a coloring system for money transports (Eddie has kept this coloring system going with several upgrades from 1979 to 2017 – very impressive). We continued our relationship where Eddie worked on different projects, mostly in the EAS Hard Tag field.

The 1st August 2003, I met with Eddie to discuss a new idea, THE DISPOSABLE HARD TAGS CONCEPT. It was a major task and in the end, we agreed to enter into a full partnership - DesignerTag Production, LLC.

I knew that I needed Eddie’s unique mechanical skills for taking on such an advanced development. It became a much longer and a much harder process than any of us could ever imagine! We have been on the brink several times to just drop it. When we finally reached the point where The Disposable Hard Tag was of an acceptable quality, then we ran into probably the biggest recession the world had ever seen. We decided that this was the end of the Disposable Hard Tag. So, we had to rethink the entire process.

In 2010, under a new name – THE CONCEPT SOLUTION, we continued the process. The principle in the so-called CONCEPT DEACTIVATOR (Detacher) could still be used. We now had to find the perfect reusable Hard Tag solution – THE CONCEPT TAG (see OUR HISTORY).

Hangzhou ONTIME I.T. Co., Ltd. is a globally renowned enterprise providing advanced solutions in the field of SMART RETAIL. After 30 years of rapid development, continuously advancing product research and development and industrial chain updates, ONTIME has now developed and produced over 2,000 types of products, covering multiple areas such as EAS loss prevention, RFID etched antennas and scenario applications, electronic shelf labels(ESL), and digital products display protection. The company boasts a comprehensive production base with an area exceeding 90,000 square meters and has obtained over 100 software copyrights and more than 100 patents both domestically and internationally.

In 1994, leveraging his extensive technological knowledge and industry insights, Mr. Zhuang Xiaodong founded the predecessor of ONTIME and gradually ventured into the EAS field, starting the research, development, and production of EAS products, which were sold globally. In 2004, Hangzhou ONTIME Company was officially established. By then, ONTIME had already become a well-known EAS manufacturing enterprise in China. Over the next 20 years, Mr. Zhuang Xiaodong led ONTIME to become a globally recognized and reputable enterprise in the smart retail industry.

Mr. Zhuang Xiaodong and Mr. Johan Skjellerup, DesignerTag, first met the 5th December 2003 in Hangzhou. ONTIME and DesignerTag came together in January 2013 to develop, produce, and sell the unique ConcepTTag Solution globally. This perfect collaboration proved to be a tremendous success for both companies.
