Since installing an RFID system for tracking 3,000 pieces of equipment at its data center, offices and laboratory, NASA’s Langley Research Center has reduced the time required for inventory counts from three weeks to a single day. Learn how the United States’ first civilian aeronautics lab is using EPC Gen 2 passive UHF RFID tags attached to equipment, as well as racks and entranceways, so that the system can alert workers to any discrepancy in location, and enable them to pinpoint a missing item by inputting it into a handheld reader that beeps louder as it gets closer to the item.
