Application and Industry Examples 5
Application and Industry Examples
High value asset tracking
Health care facilities and general enterprises can tag valuable assets that are
intended to stay within a certain area. The AeroScout system can track the location
of those assets, and if they leave through an exit or enter a restricted area, the EX5100
triggers a tag message.
Process control
Manufacturing and supply chain facilities can track the location and presence of
equipment and in-process inventory as it moves through the production process.
This gives an enterprise a real-time view of which (and how many) assets have
passed each step in the process, enabling better supply chain management.
Inventory management
Logistics and manufacturing enterprises can automatically update inventory records
as inventory enters and leaves the warehouse, ensuring real-time knowledge of
levels without manual checks or physical scanning.
Security applications
Government agencies and enterprises can tag secure assets and people that are
restricted to certain areas or require historical location tracking. If those assets leave
through an exit or enter a restricted area, EX5100 triggers a tag message.
EX5100 Features
RFID detection of AeroScout Tags
Triggering the tags to transmit as they pass through a defined area, EX5100s reach
up to a 6.5 meters (21.3 ft) range, enough to cover typical door or gate areas. EX5100s
can also be chained one to another, thus increasing the RFID detection range for
accommodating even very large areas.
Note
The exciters’ effective range, based on specific environment and
placement, may be less than the configured range. The effective range
should be taken into consideration when planning and designing the
deployment.
