Radio frequency identification offers industry many options
From protecting valuable assets to protecting lives, radio frequency identification (RFID) has many different industrial applications.
Take the oil and gas sector, where everything from asset management to ensuring testing is up to date on safety equipment can be done with RFID.
Low and high frequency RFID are great for making sure the testing is up to date on safety equipment such as shackles and chains. Because low and high frequency RFID require close proximity to read the data, they are great to use where precision is key.
