BP, Ford Motor speak out on success of RFID
The latest RFID technology has an edge in the safety, security, sales and inventory management of BP, Ford Motor and other businesses. Curt Smith, the director of application technology of British Petroleum BP views that the RFID technology can track the location of 3,000 workers at BP's Cherry Point oil refinery in Washington. The Active RFID tags are highly essential in oil refinery as it informs whether the workers are in the safe zone or not.
Smith recalls last year's disaster which took 15 lives and injured many more. Smith empathetically tells that tracking technology would have saved the lives in such cases. Smith explained about the Location Aware Safety System (LASS) in Orlando at Mobile and Wireless World (MWW). During the initial stage of the project, around fifty laborers are being tracked. The RFID technology is adopted at four U.S manufacturing plants at Ford Motor. It is used to track parts inventory and vehicles.
