RAPID check and Ultra Tag RFID set to transform asset security

Datatag, the delivery partner of the Construction Equipment Association's (CEA) CESAR security scheme, has unveiled its latest innovations – the RAPID (Registered Assets Police Information Database) check service and a cutting-edge Ultra Tag RFID transponder.

reading distance, when used with a Datatag scanner, marks a substantial improvement in identification technology – a development that is poised to significantly bolster the resilience of tagged assets against theft and tampering.

RAPID, a web-based application, represents a year of dedicated development by the team at Datatag and consolidates data of approximately 625,000 construction and agricultural machines into a single, accessible platform. The database will be a huge benefit for law-enforcement agencies, allowing all 142,000 police officers in the UK, and countless others globally, to access comprehensive data with just a smartphone.
