RFID is the most advanced asset tracking and identification tag technology available today. It provides positive identification and automatic data transfer between a tagged object and a reader, which speeds data collection and improves the quality of data by validating asset and location information. Further, RFID tags have read/write capabilities, so tag data can be updated in the field with mobile computing devices.

The Wonderware ST-1 tag houses a Texas Instruments RFID transponder composed of a passive (no battery required) integrated circuit, tuning capacitor, and antenna.

The tags are read by adapters attached to handheld units that are a part of the IntelaTrac system. Extremely durable, the tags are impervious to vibration, sandblasting, painting, oil, light, water and heat up to 100° Celsius.  They can be easily mounted to assets with nylon tie straps or safety wire or secured to flat surfaces using the two interior shouldered through-holes.
