Skyscraper Panels Tracked via RFID

Building envelope company Permasteelisa North America (PNA) is using RFID technology in its North American construction projects to manage the locations of its curtain wall window panels as they are built into customers' structures. The technology enables workers to easily identify each panel and its history simply by reading tags via a handheld device. The solution, provided by Vizinex RFID and using the company's customized tags, enables PNA to link an RFID tag ID to data about the production time and materials, as well as any damage or rework conducted on a particular item.
