How to check an RFID Tag's location and history

The RFID Tags module allows you to check when a tag was last read, display its location on the map, and view its read history.

How to check the latest read

Whenever a vehicle detects an RFID tag, PILOT automatically updates the tag information.

The list displays the following information:
1. Updated — the date and time when the tag information was last updated.
2. Last update — the time elapsed since the tag was last read.
3. Vehicle — the monitored vehicle that most recently read the RFID tag.
The vehicle is displayed after the tag has been successfully read. Physical contact between the RFID reader and the RFID tag is not required. The tag only needs to be within the reader's detection range.

How to configure marker colors

Marker colors indicate how much time has passed since the latest data was received from an RFID tag.
By default, the following rules are applied:
  • Green — data was received within the last four hours
  • Red — more than four hours have passed since the last data was received
Marker colors help you quickly identify RFID tags whose information has not been updated recently.
To configure marker colors:
1. Click Icon color settings on the toolbar
