RF Code Inc., Austin, Tex., a provider of automated physical asset management and wireless environmental monitoring using active RFID, has announced the release of an on-command beaconing solution that enables customers to control an active RFID tag’s beaconing by simply wanding over it.

With the new solution, such customers now can quickly turn off a removed inventory tracking tag from a just-purchased good, and restart the same tag on a new item when appropriate, without affecting battery life. Manufacturers too will benefit because they can control beaconing on tagged items moving through an assembly line. Once such an item or part moves through a line’s tracking checkpoint, the tag can be put into a sleep state or turned off completely, again maximizing battery life without sacrificing inventory accuracy..
