ABSTRACT:
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags are used for automatically determining the connectivity or alignment between physical components, including, for example, connectivity of network cables and device ports, as well as alignment of components assembled by automated manufacturing systems. In one embodiment of the invention, accurate determinations of the physical three-dimensional locations of cables and equipment are employed to determine which cables are plugged into which device ports of which pieces of equipment. In another embodiment of the invention, multiple RFID tags are used to determine the appropriate alignment between components being assembled by an automated manufacturing system.
