See how EPC Gen 2 RFID tags and readers, as well as GPS and cellular technology, are being employed by building, construction and highway contractors to track tools’ locations and status on work sites. The system consists of a customized computer wired to an RFID reader, a GPS unit and a cellular device, installed in containers or vehicles that transport and store equipment. With RFID tags applied to the equipment, software can identify which tools are within read range of the interrogator, and thereby know whether they are still in storage within that container or vehicle, or have been removed by the construction staff. A live demonstration of the technology will be presented, providing an example of how the system tracks which tools are in use, and which are sitting idle.
