Introduction
Maintenance pressure on urban aging infrastructure is increasing. Des ponts en ruine aux actifs de services publics égarés, inefficient management causes billions of dollars in losses each year. RFID specialty tags are becoming a management artifact. Let’s explore how this technology can solve infrastructure management challenges.
Pain Point 1: Managing Distributed Public Assets
Due to manual record keeping, cities cannot track fire hydrants, traffic lights or street lights, resulting in maintenance delays and safety risks.
RFID Solutions:
- Embedded Durability: Notre RFID ultra-micro tags are resistant to vibration, moisture and temperature fluctuations (-40° C à 85° C), making them ideal for outdoor assets.
- Quick Inventory: Scan tags with mobile readers or drones to accurately count assets within the community, reducing search time by 60%.
Pain Point 2: Monitoring Bridge and Roadway Health
Corroded rebar, cracked concrete, or loose bolts can go undetected until they fail, compromising public safety and costly repairs.
RFID Solutions:
- Sensor-Integrated Tags: Pair RFID micro tags with strain gauges or corrosion sensors to get real-time structural health data.
- Automated Alerts: Trigger maintenance workflows when tag data exceeds safety thresholds, such as abnormal vibrations at a bridge joint.
Pain Point 3: Streamlining Underground Utility Networks
Mislabeled water/gas pipes or telecom cables can lead to accidental hits during excavation, resulting in service disruptions and fines.
RFID Solutions:
- Underground Asset Tagging: Tag underground utilities with RFID micro tags with anti-jam coatings that can be read through soil or asphalt.
- Digging Safety: Contractors scan sites before digging to avoid costly utility strikes and ensure compliance with 811 regulations.
Pain Point 4: Maintaining Public Transportation Systems
Delays in maintenance of buses, trains, or rail components (par exemple, tracks, switches) disrupt schedules and increase operating costs.
RFID Solutions:
- Component-Level Tracking: Tag critical components such as brake pads or track bolts to record usage cycles and predict failures.
- Automated Work Orders: Integrate RFID data with CMMS systems to schedule proactive repairs during off-peak hours.
