Radio tag tools

Industry will deliver more machine to machine conversations than human communication soon as sensors begin to populate our world. RFID systems are appearing in distribution centers to shopping carts and now, pickup trucks.

For example, TouchMagic and Ford are offering an RFID system to track tools.

Fifth generation RFID readers and RFID tags are attached to tools or equipment you want to track. Place the tools in the truck or van and use the Tool Link system to scan them. The system identifies each tag, and you can type in the name of the item. Once the inventory is complete, the system can track the items you tagged whenever they are in the truck, and alert you if they are missing.
