The Mid Range Marker is an innovative and highly efficient solution designed for precise location marking and asset identification in various industries. With a focus on underground utility detection, infrastructure management, and construction applications, this marker utilizes advanced technology to improve the accuracy and reliability of asset tracking, reducing the risks of accidental damage and costly mistakes.
Incorporating RFID technology, the Mid-Range Marker is specifically engineered for medium-range tracking and asset identification. It enables operators and field workers to easily locate buried infrastructure such as pipelines, cables, and other vital assets. Its advanced design offers the perfect balance between functionality, durability, and affordability, making it an essential tool for both short-term and long-term deployments in industries like utilities, construction, telecommunications, and municipal infrastructure.
Product Overview
The Mid-Range Marker is designed to offer efficient, cost-effective tracking of underground assets using RFID technology. Unlike traditional markers, this advanced solution can be read from a medium distance, typically up to 6-8 meters, making it ideal for applications where long-range tracking is unnecessary but accurate and reliable identification is still required.
Embedded with a passive RFID chip, the marker operates without the need for batteries, drawing power from the RFID reader’s electromagnetic field. This not only reduces maintenance costs but also enhances the sustainability of the solution, as it eliminates the need for battery replacements or regular charging. The Mid-Range Marker is a low-maintenance, eco-friendly solution for asset management.
Once placed underground at specific asset locations, the Mid-Range Marker provides real-time tracking and identification when scanned by a compatible RFID reader. This functionality enhances the accuracy of asset location, making it easier for workers to perform maintenance, repairs, or upgrades without the need for extensive excavation.
