Long-Range Semi-Passive Radio Frequency Identification System

Caption

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Wave ID staff developed the Long-Range Semi-Passive Radio Frequency Identification System, which won a 2001 R&D 100 Award. Wave ID is a spinoff company of PNNL. The system remotely identifies, locates, and determines the status of tagged items up to 200 meters away. Inventories of items in large warehouses or stores can be completed in minutes instead of days, and their condition determined.
