By Claire Swedberg, RFID Journal, Inc.

Google India a division of search engine company Google, is using an RFID system to track up to 100,000 of its assets at its offices. ARIES Visualizer, provided by Cincinnati RFID middleware company Analytica USA, allows Google employees in Indian offices to locate their electronic assets on a Web-based platform that includes a Google Maps feature.

Google's staff members share the use of thousands of electronic devices, including laptop computers, projectors, monitors and external hard drives. To foster a company climate of open sharing of tools without bureaucracy, Google India wanted a wireless tracking system.
