RFIDs and Cameras
June 22nd, 2007
From RFID Update:
An interesting use of RFID, bar code readers, and cameras. These systems are linked together so:
When the bar code label on freight is scanned to record a move, the RTLS tag sends a signal over the legacy WiFi network to the video surveillance system. System software quickly calculates the tag location and directs an appropriate camera to record the activity occurring there. Shipment information from the bar code scan is recorded with the transaction location, with a marker to enable easy retrieval of the video record.
This integration allows a warehouse to easily display camera footage of a package. The old approach (which required viewing multiple camera footage by hand) would take days to complete.
