Magnetic Smart Tagging and Sensing Platform
The accurate tracking and sensing of assets is an area of growing interest across diverse industries and environments. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technologies face key limitations in settings with RF-based communications and medical devices, such as pacemakers. RFIDs can also suffer detuning by metallic objects or proximity to water and cannot be used underground, in metal structures, or other extreme conditions. Magnetoelastic-based tags are a promising alternative to conventional solutions; however, to date they have lacked the functionality and cost-effectiveness needed for more widespread adoption.
