Challenges
Manual writing work involves errors and omissions, and an enormous amount of time is spent on inventorying assets.
Barcodes have been implemented, but scanning remains time-consuming.
No proper tracking system is in place for managing asset check-outs and returns.
Modifying the core system requires significant time and cost.
Asset Management Using RFID
Benefits
RFID significantly reduces reading time
RFID is contactless and can be read by radio waves even when shielded. Compared to unpacking and finding where the barcode is attached and reading each item, the work time is reduced to 1/20. Since inventories can be completed in a short time, it is possible to increase the frequency of inventories and improve the accuracy of asset management.
RFID and barcode/2D codes can be used together
If RFID cannot be read, barcodes or 2D codes can be read without stopping work.
Can be linked to existing asset management databases, reducing development man-hours for on-site systems
Highly compatible with mission-critical systems because it can be operated using CSV files.
Accurate lending management
Systematizing the human verification process improves searchability and accuracy. It can also be used for advance reservations for rentals and visualization of reservation status.
