Скачать или смотреть Active vs. Passive RFID: Which Technology is Best for Data Centers?

Have you ever wondered how FedEx — one of the world’s experts in logistics — processes and delivers millions of packages each day? The technology and workflows they invested in provide FedEx with package visibility at every touch point. Enterprise data centers can learn from this.

Data centers are highly dynamic environments. Hundreds of assets are moved from the loading dock to inventory, to the data center floor, and to decommissioning every year. It's too much movement to be tracked using barcodes or passive RFID technology. The data collected manually through those methods get outdated quickly. And then data center operators make choices based on inaccurate data. If FedEx did this, packages would never be delivered to the right place on time.

Active RFID technology is a smart investment an enterprise data center can make. It provides automated and real-time visibility of all tagged assets anywhere in the data center. The technology and workflows built around it eliminate errors and as a result risks and hard costs. The long-term time and cost savings are why best-in-class data centers are migrating away from passive RFID to active RFID.
