Passive Radio Frequency Tags
Simple, low-cost solutions
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's fully passive tags are ideal for short-range, simple tracking applications for high-value or high-security items such as designer clothing, ammunition, computer equipment and chemicals.
Our passive radio frequency tags offer unique advantages such as extended range and, the ability for multiple tags to be read simultaneously, and the ability to precisely locate items, making them more conducive to remote monitoring than conventional bar-coding or other inventory-tracking methods.
Passive tags don't require a battery because they receive enough power to operate from thea radio frequency device that reads the tags. For this reason, passive tags can be made extremely small and inexpensively. With no battery and no moving parts, passive tags have a very long lifetime.
Benefits
- Speed reading-collect information from multiple tags at the same time
- Because things change-monitor and modify readings
- Going the distance-extended range to monitor and modify
- Cut through the clutter-track items stored in cluttered environments
- Is there anybody out there?-easily locate tagged items
