Betchel Hanford has undertaken an Environmental Restoration project at sites along the Columbia River in Washington State. Identification of the waste and its disposal location is critical to a successful clean-up. An active RFID system from Axcess International was used on each truck to identify, weigh, and log the waste into a database automatically, without the time and effort of the truck driver. This improves both accuracy and efficiency of the operation.

 

The Axcess system active RFID tags have a typical range of 30 to 100 feet, which is ample for the application. Furthermore, the system is integrated to the facilities security systems to increase the security of the effort.
