Track & Trace

Track and trace solutions which utilize active RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology are increasingly being used in a variety of applications and environments, including asset and inventory management, security and time management, and even lone worker solutions.

RFID based solutions can provide benefits in various industry sectors including managing supply chains in manufacturing operations, or ensuring end-to-end visibility in the logistics industry. In healthcare for example, it can be used to track the location equipment or key medical staff, or monitoring the temperature of food in retail or hospitality environments.

RFID enables contactless, conclusive identification of objects, allowing for automatic, real-time tracking of any given item in the logistics chain. Organizations know, in real-time, accurate information about the location, status and state of their physical assets and are consequently able to take the appropriate and necessary action. Having such dynamic asset information instantly and at all times leads to better decision making about asset inventory. The result is better audit compliance, inventory accuracy, security and environmental status awareness.

But as well as providing numerous benefits in its own right, RFID can provide enhanced benefits as an integrated component of a bigger solution, for example using RFID technology as part of a lone worker solution integrated with scheduling, alarming and communications technologies.
