Understanding RFID Asset Tracking and Management Automating your asset management processes does not have to be complex and expensive. In fact, there are simple cost effective solutions to provide you with accurate inventory information in real time using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). RFID has gained momentum in the past ten years as a primary means of data management processes. There is a host of RFID devices to choose from along with related software that has been developed to help with asset tracking and management. RFID tags are used that identify the person or object. Devices are scalable and perform on a greater distance range than barcode technology. They can scan numerous items at once rather than one item at a time, speeding up the tracking and management process with excellent accuracy.

RFID has improved inventory control with excellent distance and reading power. The type of labels selected will work in your environment. Ensure you choose the tags that meet your needs whether it's inside an electronic device, on clothing, inside screws, or for a humid environment. RFID offers a complete range of welcome benefits when it comes to your asset management. This technology identifies each asset through intelligent labels; the labels are which are read by specialized readers. The asset management solution starts with a unique identification label that cannot be changed or tampered with. The reader then sends a radio frequency and the label information is transmitted back and collected in the cloud with real time generated reports, for added convenience. RFID asset management systems are easy to implement and can be integrated with ease. They allow reading distances of up to ten meters, making them ideal for any factory or warehouse. This system is ideal when you do not have direct line of sight to items. It allows youto read multiple labels at any given time. The information is updated and accessed in real time and improves productivity of the entire asset tracking and management process.
