Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a method of remotely storing and retrieving data using devices called RFID tags. An RFID tag is a small object, such as an adhesive sticker, that can be attached to or incorporated into a product. RFID tags contain antennas to enable them to receive and respond to radio-frequency queries from an RFID transceiver. RFID Tracking Cards are mainly used for pallet tracking, pet monitoring and identification badges for building access control.
RFID Tracking Cards

• RFID Tracking Cards best for Vehicle Tracking
• Eagleye software is used to track, locate, monitor, control and record Vehicle usage.
• Locate the vehicle in 24×7 basis from the control room. The software helps in over speed monitoring and alarming.
• Helps in monitoring mileage management of the vehicle.
• Used to identify Traffic choking.
• Highly secured and active tracking system.
• Eagleye for mines.
• Eagleye software is used to track and monitor the movement of the miners in the mines.

• 
  Features

  • Enables the Control room to monitor the entire mine.
  • Saves time for the Miner in maintaining inventory.
  • RFID stands for Radio-Frequency IDentification.
  • The acronym refers to small electronic devices that consist of a small chip and an antenna. The chip typically is capable of carrying 2,000 bytes of data or less.
  • The RFID device serves the same purpose as a bar code or a magnetic strip on the back of a credit card or ATM card; it provides a unique identifier for that object. And, just as a bar code or magnetic strip must be scanned to get the information, the RFID device must be scanned to retrieve the identifying information.

    RFID Works Better Than Barcodes

    • A significant advantage of RFID devices over the others mentioned above is that the RFID device does not need to be positioned precisely relative to the scanner. We're all familiar with the difficulty that store checkout clerks sometimes have in making sure that a barcode can be read. And obviously, credit cards and ATM cards must be swiped through a special reader.
    • In contrast, RFID devices will work within a few feet (up to 20 feet for high-frequency devices) of the scanner. For example, you could just put all of your groceries or purchases in a bag, and set the bag on the scanner. It would be able to query all of the RFID devices and total your purchase immediately. (Read a more detailed article on RFID compared to barcodes.)
    • RFID technology has been available for more than fifty years. It has only been recently that the ability to manufacture the RFID devices has fallen to the point where they can be used as a "throwaway" inventory or control device. Alien Technologies recently sold 500 million RFID tags to Gillette at a cost of about ten cents per tag.
    • One reason that it has taken so long for RFID to come into common use is the lack of standards in the industry. Most companies invested in RFID technology only use the tags to track items within their control; many of the benefits of RFID come when items are tracked from company to company or from country to country.

      How does RFID work?

      A Radio-Frequency IDentification system has three parts :

      • A scanning antenna
      • A transceiver with a decoder to interpret the data
      • A transponder - the RFID tag - that has been programmed with information.

      • 
        The scanning antenna puts out radio-frequency signals in a relatively short range. The RF radiation does two things: It provides a means of communicating with the transponder (the RFID tag). It provides the RFID tag with the energy to communicate (in the case of passive RFID tags).This is an absolutely key part of the technology; RFID tags do not need to contain batteries, and can therefore remain usable for very long periods of time (maybe decades). The scanning antennas can be permanently affixed to a surface; handheld antennas are also available. They can take whatever shape you need; for example, you could build them into a door frame to accept data from persons or objects passing through.
         
        When an RFID tag passes through the field of the scanning antenna, it detects the activation signal from the antenna. That "wakes up" the RFID chip, and it transmits the information on its microchip to be picked up by the scanning antenna.
         
        In addition, the RFID tag may be of one of two types. Active RFID tags have their own power source; the advantage of these tags is that the reader can be much farther away and still get the signal. Even though some of these devices are built to have up to a 10 year life span, they have limited life spans. Passive RFID tags, however, do not require batteries, and can be much smaller and have a virtually unlimited life span.
         
        RFID tags can be read in a wide variety of circumstances, where barcodes or other optically read technologies are useless.

        • The tag need not be on the surface of the object (and is therefore not subject to wear)
        • The read time is typically less than 100 milliseconds
        • Large numbers of tags can be read at once rather than item by item.
        • In essence, that's how RFID works.
