Abstract

An electrical continuity detection system may comprise a plurality of identification tags placed on an electrically conductive object, and configured to respond to an injection signal on the electrically conductive object with a response, and a monitoring device coupled to the electrically conductive object and configured to generate the injection signal and an injection signal on the electrically conductive object, receive the response from one or more of the plurality of tags, receive a return signal from the electrically conductive object, determine a characteristic of the electrically conductive object based on the received responses and return signals, and generate a notification based on the characteristic.
