A California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) research project has found that an RFID-enabled unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), or drone, can read tags attached to steel drills or utility pipes at an accuracy rate of 95 to 100 percent. The year-long research project tested the technology at multiple sites, and in a variety of applications, as well as with several frequencies of RFID technology.
The tests all relied on a common feature, though: the RFID-enabled drone that swept over RFID tags in wide spaces. Solutions using RFID technology in drones for the oil and gas sector, or at other industrial companies, are now being developed and marketed by Process Expert, a company founded in 2007 by Tali Freed, a professor in Cal Poly’s Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department, the head of the research project and the director of the PolyGAIT-RFID Research and Development Center.
