Asset tracking and chipless RFID

Asset Tracking

GPS based Fleet Management System

Based on its long experience of engineering telecom products and business software, BSTechnologies has developed Intelligent Telematics solution, capable of interfacing directly with the vehicle's electronic and on-board computer-based systems.

This new direction in telematics provides for sophisticated remote monitoring, telemetry and control of many vehicle engineering, location and operational parameters - features not available in any first generation offering that focused primarily on vehicle location.

BSTechnologies' "next generation" solution is based on two communications gateway using the Geographical Positioning Satellites (GPS) and GSM/GPRS networks that brings in a new era in Mobile Resource Management - MRM.

Chipless RFID

AUTO ID, Automatic identification Systems incorporating the INKODE "Resonant Signatures™" system is a technological breakthrough in the use of auto ID. RF Automatic Identification systems are free from the constraints typical of optical and magnetic systems, and many of the technology limitations of radio frequency systems.

Optical bar code systems operate at short range and require line-of-sight detection. Magnetic systems require contact with magnetic media and a prescribed orientation of the magnetic strip. Radio frequency auto ID (RFAID) systems provide high information density and remote data collection. They are not constrained by line of sight and read data at greater distances.

Current radio frequency transponder technology utilizes expensive and bulky targets which, by definition, contain the information in a format that can be remotely interrogated. This is due to three requirements of traditional RF ID targets:

  • A battery or an antenna structure to power the device
  • Integrated circuits for device intelligence and data memory storage
  • Antenna, battery and IC, must be assembled as a card and cased in plastic
