Dr. Tali Freed, Director of PolyGAIT-RFID Research and Development Center will share the results of recent research projects which found that an RFID-enabled unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), or drone, can read tags attached to static inventory (for example, steel drills or utility pipes) at an accuracy rate of 95 to 100 percent. In addition to effectively managing heavy equipment assets in storage yards or at construction sites, Dr. Freed will also discuss how drones instrumented with UHF RFID, GPS, and cameras can effectively manage cattle.
