Ask The Experts ForumCan RFID Microchips Be Used in Drones?If so, what companies make them? —Julius ——— Julius, I am unsure whether you want to track drones with an RFID transponder or interrogate tags with a reader on the drones. Either way, the answer is yes. A few years ago, a company called Q Track put a transponder on a drone and flew it around the exhibit hall at our RFID Journal LIVE! conference. The company showed how it could track the drone's location on a computer or tablet screen as it moved. An ultra-wideband (UWB) active RFID system could also track the drone's location accurately. We have also published a few articles about companies that have mounted a passive ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID reader under the drone to locate tagged objects. • RFID-Reading Drone Tracks Structural Steel Products in Storage Yard • MyDealerLot Offers Beacon- and Drone-based Vehicle-Management Solution • Can RFID Drones Help to Manage Bridge Structural Safety? • Researchers Tinker With Flying, Rolling RFID-Sensorized Robots • Drones to Capture Data From RFID Sensors on Bridges I hope these articles are helpful to you. —Mark Roberti, Founder and Editor, RFID Journal Login and post your comment!Not a member?
