> Unlike GPS tracking, which delivers continuous satellite-based position data, RFID-based equipment tracking operates at fixed checkpoints.

Unlike GPS tracking, which delivers continuous satellite-based position data, RFID-based equipment tracking operates at fixed checkpoints. RFID—Radio Frequency Identification—uses radio pulses to activate transponders that transmit stored identification data; passive tags require neither a battery nor a network connection. In freight operations, RFID gates at dock doors, yard entrances, and transfer points capture movements automatically and feed the data into warehouse management systems. Terminal operators and freight forwarders use this to maintain clean audit trails, cut manual scanning steps, and prevent inventory discrepancies. The technology is most common in high-bay warehouses, container terminals, and returns logistics.
