RFID asset tracking provides you with new levels of automation when it comes to tracking your critical tools and equipment. With fixed RFID, you’ll be able to totally automate location tracking, without the need for any manual input or edits.

 

Coupled with effective asset tracking software, the amount of data you can use, view, and edit on the fly with RFID asset management is incredible, allowing you to:

 

  • Save time
  • Save money
  • Automate your operations
  • Share your workload
  • Keep a maintained fixed asset register of what you own
Passive RFID Vs. Active RFID


Speeding Up Audits With Handheld RFID

First of all, you’ll be able to use handheld RFID asset tracking procedures to further automate your asset tracking. Handheld RFID works in a similar way to QR code asset management.

Therefore, each of your assets will have a unique asset tag, linking the asset to a corresponding digital profile. On this profile, you can maintain critical financial, insurance, usage, and maintenance data.

Handheld RFID speeds up and improves many asset tracking features, however. For example, if a bulk of assets are moving from one location to another, you just need to hold down the trigger on your handheld reader to reflect this change on your app.

In a similar way, you’ll also be able to audit that assets are in the location that they should be. Again, all you need to do here is tell your app which location you’re in, press audit, and pull your reader’s trigger.


Handheld RFID Asset Tracking Benefits

Fixed RFID asset tracking gives you the next level of automation. Now, you don’t have to interact with your asset management system at all to record that assets have changed location.

All it takes is a fixed reader in a tactical location (such as above a door-frame). Then, every time an asset tagged with RFID moves in or out of a location, the antenna will pick up the direction and log whether it is being added or removed.

Fixed RFID is now easy to set up and works out-the-box when you use itemit. You don’t need extensive technical knowledge and massive set-up fees are a thing of the past.


Using itemit As Your RFID Asset Tracking Software

RFID asset tracking software is usable in many different fields. If you can’t use QR codes or barcodes as you need to hide an asset’s tag, in high-value asset tracking, for example, or if you’re in a high-pressure, high-speed environment, such as in healthcare, RFID asset tracking will make your life easier.

itemit is unique as it allows you to combine asset tracking technologies. Therefore, you’ll be able to benefit from QR code asset tracking, RFID asset management, and GPS tracking simultaneously, all in one system.

Overall, you can automate multipe operations and mitigate asset loss by ensuring the highest levels of accountability possible within your business.
