RFID Times

Horizon lines now have the ability to track its goods all across the supply route both via sea and land. The distribution center is in Seattle while the final destination is Alaska. The problem being faced by them was that the containers could be tracked while in trains and ships but used to vanish while trucked on highways

To solve this problem active RFID tags are being used. The tags have an internal power source and are being used for 5,100 containers. The range of the tags is 90 metres and can be read even when moving at a speed of 120 kilometer per hour. The tags have been provided by UK based Identec Solutions.
