Asset Tracking
Knowing where your assets are is an obviously important bit of information. The problem however, is how do you track assets within a building or assets that don’t have power on them. Many technologies will attempt to implement location tracking to pin-point the asset but this will require expensive transmitting devices that will require batteries.
A simple, but effective asset tracking solution is achieve when placing RFID readers at various “choke points” throughout the area being tracked. While this approach provides zone tracking, the components of the system are inexpensive and provide a high degree of reliability. With the use of inexpensive Passive RFID tags, assets can be tagged for less than 10cents per tag. The tags have no battery and no moving parts ensuring that that the asset will be tracked as it moves.
