Moving Target Applications
There are as many different tracking
applications with many different
solutions to offer. This section
will deal primarily with tracking packages, pallets,
vehicles, equipment, etc. without the necessity to
stop movement. RF/ID uses proximity readers for "on-the-fly" movement
applications which are extremely accurate. Proximity
readers are designed for any applications where an
individual or equipment will be in a close proximity
but not in direct contact with an access control device
or tag reader. As an example, many car owners can now
purchase toll tags which are usually applied to the
corner of windshields allowing drivers to drive straight
through toll booths without stopping to deposit any
money.
Other common applications for proximity readers include
access control and time and attendance. Proximity readers
have a range from about 6 inches to 6 feet and function
the same as most card access systems. When used with
time and attendance software, the proximity readers can
be installed at all entrance points to record movement
in and out of the building. No more punching in or out
is required. The time and attendance procedure could
now be performed automatically.
