Utilizing RFID To Create A “Closed Loop” Asset Management System For Utilities
A Closed Loop Asset Management System Tracking Asset Location and Performance From Birth to Earth …In Real-Time
Common Needs/Interests In Asset Tracking Business Process Improvements Why Is Asset Tracking Important To Utilities? 1. Business Performance Storm Response 24/7 Real Time Visibility Predicting Future Asset Replacement Needs Labor Time Savings Streamlined Communication
Two Primary Technologies Drive Asset Tracking Barcode RFID
How RFID Works Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that uses communication via radio waves to exchange data between a reader and an electronic tag attached to an object, for the purpose of identification and tracking.
Optimal Technology For Utilities? RFID Barcode Line of Sight Read Rate Automation Capability Durability/ Longevity Price
