Identification and tracking of assets are becoming a growing need in manufacturing, energy, logistics, warehousing, and infrastructure activities. Regularly applied labels may fail to identify assets reliably when attached to metal surfaces and/or outdoors. RFID provides flexibility in identification and tracking of assets using radio-frequency communication.

Reliable Identification on Metal Surfaces

The presence of metal may hinder the functioning of regular RFID tags and lead to reading problems. An RFID Soft Metal Label has been specially created to serve the purpose of RFID identification on or in the vicinity of metal surfaces. Such labels can be attached to equipment, machinery, containers, electric panels, tools, and other assets where regular RFID labels will prove ineffective.

Such soft metal labels provide flexibility along with adequate RFID performance. They can serve asset identification, inventory, tracking, and maintenance needs depending on the application.

Selection of the correct label is dependent on such factors as surface type, reading distance, working environment, labeling method, and RFID frequency.

Tracking of Solar Panels with RFID

The solar energy infrastructure usually includes a number of panels and other parts that need to be identified during the whole lifetime of its operation. The RFID Solar Panel Tags may serve as an identifier for individual solar panels and equipment.

Tags may help in linking physical assets with data like serial numbers, installation data, inspection data, maintenance data, and other information. Tags that work outdoors should be resistant to weather conditions like sunlight, temperatures, moisture, and dust.

Identification via RFID will make it easier to identify and validate equipment during inspections and maintenance. RFID data may become an integral part of more organized asset management when combined with suitable software in big solar energy installations.

Network Toll Solution for RFID & Automation

Network Toll Solution develops technology solutions for RFID applications, tolling management, automated parking, vehicle identification, and other automation solutions.

Network Toll Solution may help organizations that require RFID solutions and identification for different types of applications. RFID readers, tags, antennas, software, and other system elements may be implemented based on application-specific requirements.

In industry and energy sector applications, RFID technology can be used to link physical items to electronic documentation. This will help in providing better visibility of the equipment and tracking systematically throughout the asset’s life cycle.

Facilitating Smart Asset Management

The RFID technology can be used by organizations to enhance asset identification and management information. The RFID Solar Panel Tags can be used for difficult metal surfaces, whereas RFID Solar Panel Tags can be used for renewable-energy identification purposes.

The success of any RFID application is dependent on proper selection of tags, readers, software, and installation methodology. Issues like material, distance, environmental conditions, data needs, and integration need to be addressed before the implementation of RFID.
