Ability to Scan Multiple Assets Simultaneously without Line-of-Sight
With an RFID asset tracking system, you don’t need to waste time walking around physically locating each asset to scan individual barcodes. Instead, you can simply use your RFID reader to scan the area where your assets are located and the device will pick up asset tags within range in seconds. This could save you hours, or potentially days of manual labor.
Real-Time Data Collection and Security
RFID asset tracking systems that utilize active RFID asset tags provide real-time data collection and updates on the asset’s movement. This is thanks to the active RFID tag’s ability to rely on its own power source to continuously transmit a signal. Asset security can be improved by generating real-time alerts and alarms if assets are moved into unauthorized locations or taken out of a building.
Improves Asset Visibility
With traditional barcode scanning, you would have to point a barcode scanner directly at the tag in order to get an accurate scan. That would often require crawling under desks, behind racks of servers, or climbing ladders to scan hard-to-reach assets. With RFID, the reader can be several feet away and still get an accurate scan. You could easily scan several dozen assets in a room in just a few seconds.
Maximizes Audit Accuracy
Due to the RFID reader’s ability to scan all assets within range, you will never overlook an asset again. Quickly and easily locate lost or misplaced assets with a quick scan of a room or office. Your audit accuracy and speed will greatly improve as a result.
