Operators can use a Siva Mobile Reader to perform collections and exchange data with the tags wherever installing Readerships is not practical or where portability is desired. Siva RID System Solutions Siva offers two complete RID system solutions that include the necessary hardware and software components required to manage complex asset tracking: the Siva Inside TRAK™ system and the Siva Yard Management System™.
Siva Software and Integrated Products Siva Asset Manager monitors and controls Siva RID components, collecting and disbursing data as needed for asset management and tracking. lt is preinstalled in a desktop competitor with a 17-inch monitor. Asset Manager stores collected data in its local, relational database. It exports the data to your main SQL database or file system, either on demand or on a convenient schedule. It uses visual maps to help you control which physical areas are to be collected.
Siva RID Hardware Components Ss vi RID Hardware Components "Tags are small, radio transceivers that can store user-defined data in nonvolatile, read/write memory, and can be monitored and controlled by other devices. Active tags contain their own power source to generate a radio signal. Passive tags receive their power from an interrogator by radio frequency transmission. Tags are normally in an energy-conserving “sleep” mode until reception of a wake-up command from an interrogator.
