Beyond location and presence tracking and awareness, active RFID solutions can be used to monitor a variety of conditions.

With integrated sensors for temperature, humidity, fluids, motion, tampering and a growing number of other conditions, active RFID systems can be used to monitor these conditions on assets, people, equipment, vehicles and machinery. Active RFID tags are also available with inputs that allow for the interface with virtually any data output, with dry contact tags further enabling the application possibilities.

Significant cost reductions and operational efficiencies can be realized in locations like data centers when RFID is used to monitor heat and humidity to ensure the optimal conditions exist for equipment operation. RFID-based data center applications can even detect the absence or movement of equipment associated with specific rooms or racks.

Storage areas, inventory storage and a number of other areas can similarly benefit from this versatile RFID application.
