Comments on: Airbus to Use RFID Tags Extensively http://logisticsviewpoints.com/2010/02/04/airbus-to-use-rfid-tags-extensively/ Providing logistics professionals with clear and concise analyses of Logistics Trends, Technologies, and Services Wed, 16 May 2012 10:07:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: djpuleston http://logisticsviewpoints.com/2010/02/04/airbus-to-use-rfid-tags-extensively/comment-page-1/#comment-156 djpuleston Fri, 05 Feb 2010 23:29:55 +0000 http://logisticsviewpoints.com/?p=2855#comment-156 Thank you for an excellent and insightful article. I should like to clarify a couple of point on behalf of Tego, Inc. We know from inquiries that there is substantial interest in many industries, and although the clarifications don’t change the basic message, they may be helpful to any of your audience interested in the details of the technology or in the issues associated with adoption. Although the unusual capabilities of the tags might suggest an ‘active’ device as is stated, the tags are actually ‘passive’ according to conventional definitions of RFID technology. For users in this or other logistics applications, this means that the tags are battery-free, and do not require any maintenance even over extended periods (decades). Additionally, the tags are compatible with standard Gen 2 readers and infrastructure, which reduces the roll-out and ongoing support costs for organizations that already have this infrastructure. The tags are approved for both pressurized and unpressurized use, and in harsh environments. Thank you for an excellent and insightful article.
