Real-time operational intelligence across every trailer asset

Businesses face a critical challenge in streamlining asset management, where lost search time drives costly delays and inefficiency. RFID technology solves this by using electromagnetic fields to automatically track fixed and mobile assets in real time.

RFID tags fall into two categories: active and passive. The right choice depends entirely on your specific operational objectives and required capabilities.

Passive RFID tags are a highly cost-effective subset of RFID technology. They are physically smaller and less expensive than active tags, though their read ranges are shorter.

Passive tags have no internal power source. They draw energy directly from the signal emitted by RFID readers and antennas, then reflect that energy back to the reader to communicate.

Passive tags are versatile and economical, suiting a wider range of objects than active tags. Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) passive tags are commonly used for item-level tracking in pharmaceuticals and consumer goods.

Active RFID tags are larger and more expensive but offer extended read ranges up to 100 meters. They are divided into two main categories: beacons, which transmit signals regularly, and transponders, which conserve battery life by activating only when they receive a reader's signal.

Active tags are widely used because they support sensors that measure temperature, light, humidity, and other conditions. They excel in harsh environments and are frequently deployed to track larger assets like vehicles and cargo containers.
