Inventory with RFID

Inventory – fast and efficient thanks to RFID

Assets, i.e. valuables or simply inventory, must be recorded, which is required by law. Ideally, the inventory should have an individual label for this.

Asset.Desk offers the possibility of assigning inventory numbers and outputting labels via printers with which this task can be fulfilled.
A barcode is usually applied to the label, which can later be used to identify an asset by reading it in using a reader (barcode reader or camera of a mobile device).

From our many years of experience - FCS has been carrying out inventory and IT asset management projects for its customers since 2002 or supports them - we know that an effective mobile inventory support plays a key role in reducing organizational costs. The automation of the documentation of other processes such as disposal or device replacement is also worth a lot of money.

Labels for identifying assets are often stuck invisibly, i.e. under the edges of tables or in cupboards. Locating and reading these labels is difficult, even with a barcode reader. Today, UHF RFID technology allows the tags to report themselves to a reader when it is brought close to them.

UHF-RFID labels do not have to be scanned individually, but report back automatically at a distance of approx. 1-2m. Imagine how easy this makes it to capture all the assets in one room! All you need is Asset.Desk with Asset.Desk Mobile+ and one of our supported UHF RFID readers. The technology does the rest. This eliminates the tedious search for barcodes under the desk and the risk of an asset being forgotten in a room is reduced many times over.

The introduction of RFID technology in the area of ​​your inventory management results in massive potential savings by accelerating the inventory. In this way, it is often possible to save more than 80% of the time per room for recording assets that have already been provided with labels.
