Determining Asset Directionality with UHF RFID Technology
UHF RFID technology is being widely adopted for tracking asset movement, theft prevention and lost asset recovery. Solutions are being deployed in a variety of industry verticals including healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, IT data centers, construction and education. Monitoring only the last known location of an asset is often not sufficient in many applications as it does not give information about the direction in which the asset was moving in order to intelligently predict its next location. This is driving the requirement for RFID systems to report directionality in addition to the asset identity and location.

Designing Bulk Encoding Applications Using UHF RFID Technology
UHF RFID is becoming increasingly popular in the retail market, particularly for tagging apparel, due to its cost effectiveness, ease of use, scalability and reliability. To improve supply chain visibility, many retailers would like apparel suppliers to affix tags to items at the point of manufacture. This results in the need to encode the tagged items at a later point in time, often after they have been packaged. This application note describes how one might design a robust bulk encoding system using ThingMagic UHF RFID technology.

Managing the Firmware Upgrade Process with ThingMagic Enterprise Readers
Managing and updating firmware on large populations of networked readers can be difficult and time consuming. As RFID deployments evolve and become more complex, additional functionality like the ability to read sensors, detect counterfeit tags, or check tamper alarms, will likely be provided via firmware upgrades. To reduce this effort and centralize the firmware upgrade process, ThingMagic’s enterprise readers contain a software feature, known as 'Auto-Upgrade'. This application note describes how one can manage the upgrade process using ThingMagic UHF RFID technology.
