Define assets and events
Start with the items, their lifecycle, locations and movements that should create an alert or system update.
Choose tags and readers
Material, size, distance and inventory frequency determine the tag design and whether fixed or mobile reading is appropriate.
Measure before scaling
A pilot validates read rates, usability and data quality before the design is extended across multiple zones.
Points to validate
- Faster and more controlled asset inventory
- Fixed or mobile readers matched to the process
- Field pilot before wider deployment
Frequently asked questions
Which assets can be tracked with RFID?
Many tools, containers and items can be tracked when a suitable tag can be attached and read in the real environment.
Why begin with a pilot?
A pilot confirms reading performance, locations, usability and integration rules before a broader investment.
