RFID and RTLS technologies converge for enhanced asset visibility

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The traditional distinction between RFID and RTLS for asset tracking is blurring as both technologies evolve. RFID, historically used for cost-effective tracking at chokepoints, is becoming more data-rich, while RTLS, which offers continuous real-time visibility, is seeing its tag costs decrease due to advances in technologies like Bluetooth Low Energy. This convergence allows for a more integrated approach, moving from simple asset tracking to comprehensive operational intelligence by analyzing flow and identifying inefficiencies across the entire supply chain.
