Introduction Tracking assets in harsh industrial environments is a constant challenge. Traditional RFID tags often fail when attached to metallic surfaces, leading to poor read rates and unreliable data. This limitation has long hindered industries that rely on metal-heavy equipment and infrastructure. RFID-on-metal tags are designed to overcome these barriers, offering reliable tracking even in the toughest conditions. What are RFID-on-Metal Tags? RFID-on-metal tags are specialized RFID tags de …

Asset tracking has become a critical challenge across industries such as logistics, warehousing, healthcare, and retail. Organizations often struggle with misplaced equipment, inefficient audits, and a lack of visibility into asset movement. Traditional methods like manual logs or barcode scanning provide limited insights, especially when assets move across large geographies or between facilities. To address these challenges, combining RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) with GPS (Global Posit …
