Tag Cost and Performance
Your choice of active RFID tag largely determines system cost and performance limits.
ISO 18000-7 standards-based tags implement a broad range of capability. The practical result is an expensive tag that does many things. If you need global interoperability,
then RF-IDI's system can accommodate ISO 18000-7 based tags & readers.
However, most customers just need a reliable, long life tag that can successfully
communicate in difficult environments. When it comes to signal penetration through
interference, range, battery life, real-time response to dynamic asset movement,
scalability and cost, the purpose-built, beacon-only RFCode tag is hard to beat.
Why spend $75 or more per tag when a $20 - $30 tag and the right
system design can deliver a high performance beacon-only solution?
RF Code tags deliver superior performance by using a short data packet length and value
by narrowing functionality to a focused mission - transmit the presence of a unique identifier
at frequent intervals - even in difficult environments.
If you need a higher level of locating precision, step up to RFind's patiented Tag-to-Tag™ communication technology. It's the most cost effective way to
implement true RTLS when you need to know exactly 'where?'
Whatever your choice of tag technology, RF*IDI's SmartReader platform integrates seamlessly. For the very best value,
it is possible to deploy a mixed technology tag solution and collect, manage and view all data in one platform. The result is a powerful marriage of
hardware and software that delivers the best return on investment (ROI) in the industry.
RF*IDI Active RFID Tracking software is specifically designed to put key business data into your hands, while enabling easy integration into your environment.
RF*IDI's Active RFID Reader solution (Smart-Reader) only requires Wi-Fi access (802.11b) or a broadband cellular connection to the internet and access to 12VDC or 120VAC.
For granular tracking of events within the sphere of one RF Smart-Reader, add IR tracking capability of as many location-related events as you like with just a 120VAC power source at each location. No other connections required!
RF*IDI provides access to a global database tailored to your business model and a web application to get you up and running in days, not weeks!
For immediate Active RFID Tracking, without any infrastructure requirements, use the RF*IDI mobile RFID tracking solution, available on multiple computing platforms, as either a stand-alone device, or linked to an RF*IDI server database via Wi-Fi (802.11b) or a broadband-cellular connection.
Installation doesn't get any easier than this!
