active RFID
Active RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a technology that uses battery-powered tags to transmit signals to a reader. These tags can send information over longer distances compared to passive RFID tags, which rely on external power sources. Active RFID is commonly used for tracking assets, vehicles, and personnel in various industries.
The tags in active RFID systems can also store more data and have a longer lifespan due to their built-in batteries. This technology is particularly useful in environments where real-time tracking is essential, such as in logistics, healthcare, and supply chain management.
