Asset tracking is an essential process for businesses to monitor their assets' location, movement, and status. There are two types of RFID asset tracking technologies available in the market: Active and Passive tracking. Both types have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between them depends on your specific requirements and budget.
Active tracking technology uses devices that transmit a signal at regular intervals, allowing businesses to track their assets' location and status in real-time. These devices require a power source, such as a battery or a power outlet, and typically have a range of up to several miles. Active tracking is suitable for businesses that need real-time tracking of their assets' movement and status, such as fleet management, logistics, and transportation companies. The downside of active tracking is that it can be expensive, both in terms of equipment costs and ongoing data charges.
Passive tracking technology, on the other hand, uses devices that do not transmit a signal in real-time but store location and movement data for later retrieval. These devices are usually smaller and less expensive than active tracking devices and require no ongoing data charges. Passive tracking is suitable for businesses that need to monitor their assets' movement and location periodically, such as inventory management or supply chain management. The downside of passive tracking is that it does not provide real-time tracking data, making it less suitable for time-sensitive applications.
In summary, active tracking is suitable for businesses that need real-time tracking of their assets' location and movement, while passive tracking is suitable for businesses that need periodic tracking of their assets' location and movement. The choice between active and passive tracking depends on your specific requirements, budget, and the level of tracking accuracy you need.
