For growing datacenters, an Active RFID (radio frequency identification) solution is made to order.

Active RFID systems are distinguished by the use of small, battery-powered asset tags, which beacon their unique ID numbers every few seconds. A networked reader receives these transmissions and relays consolidated asset data to enterprise information systems for reporting and change control. Active RFID tags can have motion sensors, tamper switches, and other sensory triggers that combine conditional and contextual data alongside their periodic ID beacons. Unlike barcode systems or passive (unpowered) RFID systems, which require an operator to manually collect asset detail using a network scanner or interrogator, an active RFID solution generates a continuous inventory as often as 100 times/hour hour, unassisted.
