RFID Tags For Truck Washing Sector Considered

The future of RFID tags is looking good, even if the industry is off to a slow start and having a bit of difficulty during the global recession, as companies that manufacture and export lots of products are not doing the level of business they once were. Things have been a little challenging in the logistics industry to say the least.

Global Freight year over year is down to a trickle, and a few of the ports in California are down over 49% in the last year; same for the rail industry and trucking industry - before the slow down the trucking industry had a shortage of drivers in the US of nearly 200,000 people. Of course, things will return and when they do, the RFID sector ought to really pick up.

Indeed, as the prices of RFID Tags come down and these systems become more reliable, you can bet that entrepreneurs will find more uses for this technology. In fact, I have one you most likely have not considered: RFID Tags Truck Washes. Let me explain how these might work and why it makes so much sense. Rather than write a white paper on this topic, let me explain it in a paragraph or two:

First, the truck washing company, such as Blue Beacon, gives a discount of $2 off each wash for companies that install RFID active tags in the front windshield of the truck, this will be read by an RFID tag scanner reader mounted at the entrance with a gain antenna. Since, this alleviates the need to fill out paper work, the truck wash company saves money in labor, and the trucking company gets a complete and accurate read out of each truck washed.

Because most over the road trucks are at around or about the same height the RFID reader can be mounted in a fixed position so that it picks up all the tags without any being missed. Please think on this.
