Equipment Tracking
Ultra Wideband RFID tags
Eight receivers were configured on existing light poles around the Murphy tractor lot. Each receiver was about the size of a shoebox. Other than the power supply, the receivers are completely wireless.
Pieces of equipment were tagged with Ultra Wideband (UWB) Radio Frequency Tags (RFID). Each active UWB tag has the ability to detect motion and has the required interfaces to allow sensor integration.
The emissions of active tags are constantly collected by each receiver, making it easy to monitor the onsite or offsite status of an asset and collect the asset's sensor data. This allowed Murphy to record a complete history of data for each piece of equipment.
Personnel can quickly check in or check out equipment.
