Construction Waste-Management Company Uses RFID and GPS

AgoraBee can provide software for the solution, Curty says. However, the read data is typically managed by a customer's own software, or by a third-party fleet-management solutions provider.

In the future, Challande expects to integrate its billing software with the AgoraBee solution, thereby enabling it to automatically generate bills for customers based on the length of time that a particular container remained on a specific work site. Voisin does not indicate, however, when that is expected to take place.

AgoraBee tags are also available with built-in sensors for measuring such variables as temperature or motion. In this case, the tag, attached to a container or other object, could transmit to readers mounted within the area. If the sensor data changes, or falls out of pre-set range, the interrogator could issue an alert.
