Track Large Volume Movement with Fixed RFID Readers

With fixed RFID readers, you can quickly and accurately track large volumes of RFID-tagged cases, pallets, and items. Fixed RFID technology is ideal for use in high-density tag environments, high throughput applications, and on RF-challenging materials.

How Fixed RFID Works

Stationary readers are to be strategically placed in order to scan passive RFID tags as they come within their range. Fixed readers identify objects as they move through specific checkpoints in your process, like a dock door, manufacturing station, or conveyor.

Fixed RFID systems also require antennas. Antennas provide the vital link between the fixed reader and tag, moving data back and forth. Antennas allow communication to occur, enabling organizations to capture, exchange, and manage critical information to and from every point of operation.

The great thing about using fixed readers is that there is no need for human intervention. Fixed RFID readers read tags automatically when the tags pass through, without any manual intervention.

Benefits of Using Fixed RFID Technology

Deploying fixed RFID technology simplifies high-volume inventory and materials flow. Therefore, reading tags on large quantities and entire pallets as they move throughout operations improves overall accuracy. Bring visibility into how inventory, assets, and materials move throughout your operations while saving on critical errors and operation costs.

• Increased Data Visibility: Keep critical information as accurate as possible in real-time as items move throughout your operation.
• Increased Time Savings: Eliminate the need to process each item individually when bulk quantities can be scanned at once.
• Increased Accuracy: Using RFID technology is the most accurate way to manage moving inventory. RFID technology improves barcode inventory systems and is worlds better than traditional manual/paper inventory methods.
• Reduced Costs: Knowing important inventory and shipping information helps you make cost-saving decisions and tailor orders.

Getting Started with RFID

Getting started with RFID requires a little bit more than buying a reader and slapping a tag on what you want to track. Our solutions are strategically designed for your warehouse's requirements. As a result, we take the time to evaluate which combination of RFID tags, readers, antennas, printers, and software will work best for your specific application.

With over 20 years of experience working with our customers, we have seen many common challenges and mishaps when implementing RFID systems. When you work with RMS Omega, you work with a dedicated Account Manager who will be your point of contact from the start. We will support you from the initial project design and through the implementation, deployment, and ongoing maintenance, optimization, and analysis of your RFID system for years to come.

Asset tracking has many benefits which will optimise your operations. Whether you're working in an office, in the field for a construction company, in the healthcare industry, or in any other sector, asset tracking can save you time and money.

Asset tracking software works by creating unique digital doubles of your items. This creates a fixed asset register which you can interact with and edit, adding crucial information such as maintenance information or where assets are.

Using fixed RFID readers can make your asset tracking processes even faster, even easier, and even more automatic.

To make tracking unique asset profiles even easier, you can use unique asset tags. Most commonly, companies opt for barcodes or QR code asset tags. This way, you can attach the tag to an asset to link the physical asset to its digital profile. Then, every time you scan the tag, the asset's profile will appear, ready for editing.

Upon scanning, last seen location data will update, too, which creates a full history of where your assets have been.

RFID asset tracking differs in a couple of ways. RFID tags don't need to be scanned with a 'line of sight' as QR codes or barcodes do. What this means is that you'll be able to hide an RFID tag and still be able to scan it.

This is necessary if you're tracking assets where you can't use barcodes or QR codes. For example, if you're tracking priceless paintings, you won't be able to use a QR code or barcode to do so. In this case, you'll need to use RFID asset tracking.

While barcodes and QR codes can be scanned with your smartphone, RFID scanners aren't automatically integrated with your . This means that you'll need third party readers to implement RFID asset tracking. These readers will either be fixed or handheld.

Most commonly, you'll be using handheld readers to implement RFID asset tracking. With a handheld reader, you'll use BlueTooth to link it with your asset tracking app, and then you'll click a button to scan tags, much like with a barcode scanner. How far away you can scan from will depend on the RFID tags themselves.

Fixed readers are attached to specific points in your building. Every time an asset with an RFID tag attached moves past them, the fixed readers will pick up on the movement. As fixed readers have antennas, they'll also be able to pick up on which direction an asset is moving in, meaning it'll automatically be logged whether an asset is entering or leaving a room.

Using fixed RFID readers promises a new level of automation. Instead of tracking locations with manual input, such as with handheld readers or QR codes, everything is automatically updated for you.

In practice, this means that if you're tracking tools and equipment, whenever a tool moves out of a construction lot, your asset tracking system will update this automatically. Whenever your tools then enter a construction lot, your asset tracking system will update this automatically.

Fixed RFID readers give you fully automated accountability and transparency over asset location, ultimately transforming your asset tracking processes.
