  2. Track and trace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_and_trace

    Radio-frequency identification and barcodes are two common technology methods used to deliver traceability. [1] RFID is synonymous with track-and-trace solutions, and has a critical role to play in supply chains. RFID is a code-carrying technology, and can be used in place of a barcode to enable non-line of sight-reading.

    The bill would cover real-time tracking data as well as previously acquired historical location data. [10] The bill has set forth certain exceptions under which the acquisition of private tracking data by private or public entities would not be unlawful: [10] As a response to theft, and for the purpose of tracking stolen merchandise

    Second, historical location can frequently be discerned from service provider records. Thirdly, other devices such as Wi-Fi hotspots or IMSI catchers can be used to track nearby mobile devices in real time. Finally, hybrid positioning systems combine different methods in an attempt to overcome each individual method's shortcomings. [6]

  5. Animal migration tracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_migration_tracking

    Traditional tracking methods for such species involved very high frequency radio-tags and manual tracking with handheld receivers, which were labour-intensive and limited in range. The system allows researchers to collect data remotely from multiple tagged animals over large distances, increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of wildlife ...

  6. Wi-Fi positioning system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_positioning_system

    Wi-Fi positioning system (WPS, WiPS or WFPS) is a geolocation system that uses the characteristics of nearby Wi‑Fi access points to discover where a device is located. [1]It is used where satellite navigation such as GPS is inadequate due to various causes including multipath and signal blockage indoors, or where acquiring a satellite fix would take too long. [2]

  7. GPS animal tracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_animal_tracking

    GPS animal tracking is a process whereby biologists, scientific researchers, or conservation agencies can remotely observe relatively fine-scale movement or migratory patterns in a free-ranging wild animal using the Global Positioning System (GPS) and optional environmental sensors or automated data-retrieval technologies such as Argos ...

  8. Light level geolocator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_level_geolocator

    A red knot equipped with a GLS.. A light level geolocator, light-level logger or global location sensor (GLS) is a lightweight, electronic archival tracking device, usually used in bird migration research to map migration routes, identify important staging areas, and sometimes provide additional ecological information.

  9. Wildlife radio telemetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildlife_Radio_Telemetry

    Direct tracking and triangulation methods allow the operator to locate a tagged animal. Direct or VHF tracking involves using a directional antenna to follow the signal given off by the transmitter to the exact location of the tagged animal. [2] The operator rotates the antenna until the loudest signal is found.
