Honeywell's RF ID asset management uses both active and passive technologies
and covers a broad range of customer requirements and applications including
environmental monitoring for shock, temperature, humidity and vibration.
Active RF tags are ideal for hands-free vehicle identification and tracking.
They provide unique IDs and have long-range capability to support a reader
system that can handle multiple tags concurrently. Programmability enables tag
reuse and updates the new use to the embedded database.
In an active card, a battery powers the silicon transponder for proximity and
stand-off read capability. The card's silicon chip includes a programmable
microprocessor communication interface for application flexibility.
The Passive RF tags provide unique identification for people and property at a
very low cost. A tag reader energizes this passive card's inductive coil,
activating its silicon transponder for memory access. Each function is
supported by the card's silicon regulator and control logic.
