Which type of RFID tag is most suitable for tracking large shipping containers?

Passive tags
Active tags
Low-frequency tags
Magnetic tags

The correct answer is: Active tags

Active tags are the most suitable for tracking large shipping containers due to their design and functionality. These tags contain a battery that powers their signal, allowing them to transmit data over greater distances compared to passive tags, which do not have their own power source and rely on energy from a reader. Since large shipping containers often travel significant distances and can be in environments where passive tags may not work effectively, active tags provide a reliable solution for real-time tracking and monitoring. Additionally, active tags can store more data and typically include sensors that can monitor various conditions such as temperature and humidity, which is crucial for sensitive goods. Their ability to send data over long ranges makes them ideal for logistic operations involving shipping containers, as they can be read from a distance when passing by certain checkpoints, enhancing visibility and management of the supply chain.
