Woodside Tests New Passive-Active RFID Tag

With the goal of making mega-constructions projects leaner and more efficient, Australian oil and gas company Woodside Energy Ltd. is testing a dual-frequency passive-active RFID tag developed specifically for use by Woodside and other oil and gas firms. What makes the Smart Tag (or W-Tag) different from other tags, Woodside claims, is its intrinsically safe certification combined with long- and short-frequency ranges, which enables petrochemical facilities to track components via radio frequency identification.
