Need to track assets?

RFID Asset Tracking

Tag assets, scan them with a handheld or fixed reader and keep an asset register with last-seen location and movement history.

The problem to solve

Manual asset checks can leave the register behind the real operation. Define the observation you need: the asset identity, last-seen location, timestamp and the action after an exception.

Where this solution fits

  • Manufacturing tools, reusable assets and equipment with suitable tag mounting positions.
  • Person-led checks using a handheld reader, or repeatable reading points with a fixed reader.
  • An existing register or agreed application that can accept stable asset identifiers and observation records.

System scope and application limits

A tag identifies the asset. Handheld scans or defined fixed reading points produce observations that the application associates with an asset record. A controlled workflow handles unexpected, missing or duplicate observations.

  • Trial tags on representative metal assets, liquids and packed items before rollout.
  • Review mounting, orientation, reader placement and unwanted reads from neighbouring assets.
  • This scope records observations and last-seen positions. Continuous precise positioning needs a separate feasibility assessment.

Included in the proposed package

  • Tag and read-method selection
  • Agreed asset register and scanning workflow
  • Inventory trial and operator handover

What determines the project cost?

  • Asset and tag quantities, mounting, handheld or fixed readers and accessories.
  • The number of read points, site power/network requirements and installation work.
  • Register preparation, data imports or API integration, exception handling and operator training.

Quoted as a package after scope review. Hardware, engineering, site work and any recurring charges are stated separately in the proposal. Final quantities, exclusions and deliverables are confirmed in the quotation.

How the pilot is checked

  • Agree the sample set, expected asset list and test conditions.
  • Measure correct, missed, duplicate and unwanted observations against project-specific criteria.
  • Verify that location and time refer to the intended scan or movement.
  • Demonstrate exception recovery and the agreed register update.

Agree the acceptance criteria before work starts. A trial establishes the limits of the tested application.

Pilot

Test one agreed area or workflow. Confirm the critical assumptions and record the acceptance results.

Deploy

Roll out the agreed scope with configuration, commissioning and operator handover defined in the quotation.

Care

Add a separate support plan for agreed response times, health reviews or software maintenance. Optional and separately quoted.

Frequently asked questions

Does RFID give a continuous GPS location?

No. This package records observations at handheld scans or fixed reading points. Continuous precise positioning requires a separate feasibility assessment.

Will tags work on metal assets?

Tag selection and mounting matter. Suitable on-metal tags should be tested on representative assets before rollout.

Can we use an existing asset database?

Yes, subject to its import or API capabilities. We will agree identifiers, required fields and update rules first.
