RFID Fixed Asset Management Solutions

One RFID tag per asset: count with a handheld sweep, log movements automatically at doorways, and keep a complete history from purchase and use to repair and disposal.

Asset Visibility

Year-end asset counts in days, not weeks

Assets come in many forms — production supplies, equipment, vehicles, desks, computers and cables — and valuable ones are costly, mobile and hard to secure. Annual audits and tracking assets across departments and sites consume time and labour, with frequent omissions, duplicates and mismatched records.

Combining UHF RFID with software, each asset carries a tag and readers with antennas cover the routes assets move through. Movements are tracked automatically, and handheld counts send data back over wireless in real time.

Traditional audits

  • Labour-intensive Finding each asset and matching labels takes many people.
  • Records don't match Frequent movements cause missed and duplicate counts.
  • Unclear movement Assets lent to other departments or sites are hard to track.
  • Hard to secure Valuable assets can leave without anyone knowing.

RFID asset management

  • Fast stocktakes Bulk handheld reads are compared with the register instantly.
  • Accurate records Surpluses, shortages and misplaced items are listed automatically.
  • Automatic movement logs Passing a portal records the new location.
  • Unauthorised-removal alerts Doorway readers alert on assets leaving without approval.

FAQ

FAQ

Can we keep our existing asset barcodes?
Yes. RFID tags can be printed with your existing asset numbers and barcodes, used side by side.
How are metal assets like computers and racks tagged?
We use on-metal tags placed where they won't wear and read well; Gold-Pick advises on placement.
How does count data get back into the system?
Handhelds sync over Wi-Fi or mobile data in real time, or upload after the count.
