2. How does TagIQ compare with RFID & Bar Codes?

A TagIQ Tag is not a Bar Code or RFID tag. A TagIQ Tag is a passive device that is activated by touch allowing the user to read, write, and track actual data in the field. With Bar Codes and RFID tags, the only information they contain is an ID # that needs to be relayed back to a relational database in order to obtain any information about that particular ID #. Bar Codes and RFID Tags historically can not hold up or perform accurately within harsh environments. With the TagIQ solution, the most recent data is stored inside a stainless steel can and on the PC without manually inputting the data.
