The concept of animal tagging is nothing new. In early days, the various cattle farms and ranches used methods like branding irons, to label the name or symbol of the ranch to which an animal belonged.A red hot branding iron, having the proprietary mark of the farmer or rancher, was used on the poor animal to etch out a mark on its hide.
(This is the origin of the term “brand” for an item. Surprising, isn’t it?)

The RFID solution is to go in for a RLTS (Real Time Location System). This involves installing a UHF system (operating at say 868 MHz). The UHF system consists of RFID tags of UHF type (long range tags), mounted on the containers themselves and a slew of powerful UHF readers, located around the perimeter of the yard.The readers are connected to a central computer database, which manages the system.RFID Solution Of Waste Management

An RFID tag (UHF with a long range) is affixed to the underside of a car that is to be allowed entry. An antenna positioned some distance away senses an approaching vehicle, sends data to a central server based system which decides if the vehicle is authorized and opens the gates.A record is also automatically made which enters date & time of entry or exit.There is no “booth” based security.
