Introduction | 5 Introduction The AeroScout Exciter is a component of the AeroScout suite of enterprise visibility solutions that enables location-based applications. The Exciter extends the AeroScout suite to provide robust and sophisticated RFID detection capabilities, using the same AeroScout tags that can also be accurately located in real time by the AeroScout system.
| Application and Industry Examples Process control Manufacturing and supply chain facilities can track the location and presence of equipment and in-process inventory as it moves through the production process. This gives an enterprise a real-time view of which (and how many) assets have passed each step in the process, enabling better supply chain management.
