Active RFID geolocation integrated with a GPS asset tracking system provides a cost effective solution into the visibility and location of your high value assets including containers, trailers, chassis, roll-offs and more, as compared to a standalone GPS asset tracking system.
The RFLink Active RFID solution combines long-range active RFID tags with GPS vehicle gateways to automate yard check-in, check-out, and asset auditing.
Unlike passive RFID, active tags broadcast their signal up to 300 feet without requiring line-of-sight scanning, allowing instant scanning of hundreds of items.
The resulting detection records help reduce manual inventory checks, locate missing equipment, verify vehicle contents, and improve accountability across yards and depots.
Detects supported active tags without scanning every item individually.
Associates detected assets with the gateway vehicle or facility location.
Use active RFID and GPS together to locate and identify high-value assets across yards, vehicles, warehouses, and cold-chain operations.
Active RFID geolocation integrated with a GPS asset tracking system provides a cost effective solution into the visibility and location of your high value assets including containers, trailers, chassis, roll-offs and more, as compared to a standalone GPS asset tracking system.
The system consists of the Piccolo GPS device installed in your fleet vehicles, unpowered assets or across your yards and warehouses and your high value assets are fitted with RFTags. Once the RFTags are in range of the Piccolo GPS device they will be picked up and will report their current location, temperature and more.
Gain location visibility on your high value assets for chassis, trailers, cold chain and containers at a fraction of a cost of installing a GPS asset tracker
Add external or internal temperature sensors to the RFID tags to extend solution to include temperature monitoring.
Keep records of leased assets and generate customer invoicing information based on actual usage
Solar recharge capability eliminates labor intensive and time consuming manual battery charging , increasing productivity and efficiency while reducing maintenance costs.
External digital temp sensor: High accuracy of +/- 0.9°F (0.5°C).
Internal integrated temperature sensor: accuracy of +/- 1.8°F (1°C).
2 options for temperature monitoring:
Up to 24 months of continuous operation with an integrated 200mAh or 500mAh rechargeable lithium battery.
Designed for harsh working environments, each RFTag is packaged in a robust IP67 rated enclosure.
Can also function as a wireless remote I/O for detecting door open/closed events.
Can be used for Driver ID.
