With RFID Asset Tracking Solutions, businesses no longer just manage assets—they optimize and future-proof them.

Dilemma 1: Asset “disappearance” is difficult to trace, and the safety of enterprise property is threatened

In the daily operation of an enterprise, the frequent flow and use of assets make it difficult to control the actual location and status of assets in real time. The traditional way of asset management mainly relies on manual records and regular inventory, which is not only inefficient, but also prone to human error. Once assets are lost, damaged or misappropriated, it is often difficult to quickly and accurately trace their whereabouts and use, resulting in corporate property losses.

Take a large manufacturing enterprise as an example, its production workshop has a large number of production equipment, tools and raw materials. Due to the large number of assets, widely distributed, and the frequent use and circulation of assets in daily production activities, the enterprise has been facing the problem of difficult to effectively manage assets. Once, a batch of valuable imported tools suddenly disappeared during the production process, due to the lack of effective asset tracking means, the enterprise spent a lot of manpower and time to investigate, but still unable to determine the whereabouts of the tools, and ultimately had to re-purchase them, resulting in huge economic losses. Similar situations are not uncommon in enterprises, and the problem of “missing” assets not only affects the normal production and operation of enterprises, but also poses a serious threat to the safety of their property.

Dilemma 2: Manual inventory is time-consuming, and the efficiency of enterprise operation is constrained

Asset inventory is an important task of enterprise asset management, which aims to ensure that the actual quantity and status of enterprise assets are consistent with the book records, and to provide accurate data support for the enterprise's financial accounting and decision-making. However, the traditional manual inventory requires staff to check the asset information one by one, which is not only a huge workload, time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to omissions and errors during manual operation, resulting in inaccurate inventory results.

In some large-scale enterprises, assets are distributed in multiple regions and departments, and the number of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of pieces. Conducting a comprehensive asset inventory often requires a large amount of manpower and weeks or even months of time. During this process, the normal operation of the enterprise will be affected to varying degrees, and the efficiency of the staff will be significantly reduced. Moreover, because the accuracy of manual inventory is difficult to ensure, even after spending a lot of time and effort, the final inventory results may still deviate from the actual situation, unable to provide reliable data basis for the enterprise.

Dilemma 3: Slow decision-making with data lag, the pace of enterprise development is hindered

In the rapidly changing market environment, enterprise decision-making requires timely and accurate data support. However, the traditional way of asset management due to the untimely data collection and updating, resulting in enterprise management to obtain the asset data is often lagging. These lagging data can not truly reflect the real-time status of enterprise assets, making the management in the development of decision-making lack of accurate information basis, easy to make wrong decisions, thus affecting the development strategy and market competitiveness of enterprises.

For example, an enterprise plans to upgrade its production equipment according to the use of assets and market demand. However, due to the lagging data of the asset management system, the management could not accurately understand the actual operating conditions and remaining service life of the equipment, which led to indecision in the decision-making process and missed the best time to upgrade the equipment. When it is found that the aging of the equipment is serious and has affected product quality and production efficiency, then equipment upgrading, not only need to pay higher costs, but also may lead to the enterprise in the market competition in a disadvantageous position.

RFID technology: reconstruct the logic of asset management,

open a new era of intelligent management

In the face of the many dilemmas in the management of enterprise assets, RFID technology, with its advanced technical principles and powerful functional advantages, provides a set of brand new solutions for enterprises. RFID technology through the innovative mode of “tags + intelligent reading and writing + system linkage” realizes the full life cycle management of assets, allowing assets to be controlled and traced in every link within the enterprise, bringing unprecedented management efficiency improvement for enterprises. RFID technology through the “tag + intelligent read-write + system linkage” innovative model, to achieve the full life cycle management of assets, so that assets in every link within the enterprise can be controlled and traceable, for the enterprise to bring an unprecedented improvement in management efficiency.

Labeling: Giving assets a unique “ID card”

An RFID tag is a radio frequency identification device, similar to an asset's “ID card”. Each tag has a globally unique identification code that stores a wealth of asset information, such as asset name, model, specifications, procurement time, department of use, responsible person, etc. This information is written into the tag when the asset is warehoused and is updated in real time as the asset status changes throughout the asset's life cycle.

Compared with the traditional bar code, RFID tags have no line of sight contact can be identified, can identify multiple tags at the same time, large data storage capacity, fast reading speed, environmental adaptability and other significant advantages. Whether in a dimly lit warehouse, or in high temperature, humidity, dust and other harsh environments, RFID tags can work stably to ensure accurate reading and identification of asset information.

Intelligent read/write: real-time collection of asset information

The intelligent read/write device in the RFID system is responsible for reading and writing operations on RFID tags. Intelligent read-write devices can communicate with RFID tags through radio frequency signals to quickly and accurately collect asset information from the tags and transmit this information to the backend management system in real time.

Intelligent read-write devices are deployed in a very flexible way, according to the distribution of enterprise assets and management needs, choose fixed read-write or handheld read-write. Fixed read-write is usually installed at the entrance and exit of the assets, warehouse door and other key positions, for the assets passing through the region for automatic identification and data collection; handheld read-write is convenient for staff in the daily inspection, inventory and other work, anytime and anywhere on the assets for identification and information query.

System linkage: Realize the whole life cycle management of assets

The core advantage of RFID technology is that it can be seamlessly connected with the existing asset management system, ERP system, financial system, etc. to realize real-time data sharing and system linkage. Through the system linkage, the enterprise can monitor and manage the assets from procurement, warehousing, utilization, allocation, maintenance, scrapping and other aspects of the whole life cycle in real time, to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the asset information.

When the assets are purchased into the warehouse, the staff only need to pass the assets with RFID tags through the channel installed with fixed read-write, the system can automatically identify the asset information and complete the inventory registration; when the employees receive the assets, read the asset tag information through the read-write in the asset receiving area, the system will automatically record the time of receipt of the assets, the receiver, and other information; the assets in the enterprise internal redeployment, the system real-time When the assets are transferred within the enterprise, the system updates the location of the assets and the information of the using department; when the assets need to be repaired, the maintenance personnel query the detailed information of the assets and the maintenance records through the read-write, formulate the maintenance program, and update the maintenance status and maintenance time of the assets through the system after the completion of the maintenance. In the whole life cycle of the asset, the operation information of each link will be fed back to the management system in real time, and the management can check the real-time status and historical track of the asset at any time through the system, which provides accurate data support for the enterprise's decision-making.

RFID technology application results are remarkable,

enterprise asset management efficiency greatly improved

RFID technology in enterprise asset management application, has achieved remarkable results. Numerous enterprises through the introduction of RFID technology, successfully cracked the three major dilemmas in asset management, to achieve a leap in asset management efficiency, upgrading the magnitude of up to 80% or more.

Accurate and Efficient Asset Tracing, Safe and Secure Enterprise Property

Through RFID technology, enterprises are able to track the location and status of assets in real time, and realize the accurate tracing of assets. Once an abnormal situation occurs in the assets, such as loss of assets, unauthorized movement, etc., the system will immediately issue an alarm, and through the historical track query function, quickly and accurately locate the direction of the assets, providing strong support for the enterprise to retrieve the assets. This not only effectively reduces the risk of loss of corporate assets and protects the property safety of the enterprise, but also improves the enterprise's ability to control the assets and avoids the waste and abuse of assets.

Inventory work is easy and fast, the enterprise operating costs significantly reduced

The introduction of RFID technology has completely changed the traditional manual inventory of the tedious way. During the asset inventory, the staff only need to hold RFID readers and scan them quickly in the asset storage area to complete the inventory of a large number of assets in a short period of time. The inventory data is uploaded to the management system in real time, which is automatically compared with the book data to generate an accurate inventory report. The entire inventory process is efficient and accurate, greatly shortening the inventory cycle and reducing the investment in labor costs. According to statistics, the use of RFID technology for asset inventory, inventory efficiency can be increased by more than 80%, labor costs can be reduced by more than 50%.

Real-time data accuracy, more scientific and reasonable corporate decision-making

RFID technology realizes real-time collection and update of asset data, ensuring that the asset data acquired by the enterprise management is always the latest and most accurate. Based on these real-time accurate data, the management can make more scientific and reasonable decisions by analyzing the use of the assets, the reasonableness of the configuration, and the maintenance requirements. For example, through the data analysis of the frequency of use and failure rate of the assets, the enterprise can plan in advance for the renewal and maintenance of the assets, to avoid production interruptions due to equipment failure; through the analysis of the idle situation of the assets, the enterprise can optimize the configuration of the assets, improve the utilization of the assets, and reduce the cost of enterprise operations.

In the wave of digital transformation, enterprise asset management is facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities. RFID technology, as an advanced Internet of Things technology, with its unique “tag + intelligent read-write + system linkage” mode, for enterprises to crack the asset management dilemma provides a proven solution. By giving assets a unique “ID card”, real-time collection of asset information and system linkage, RFID technology allows the full life cycle of assets can be controlled and traceable, helping enterprises to achieve a substantial increase in asset management efficiency, laying a solid foundation for the sustainable development of enterprises.

For the majority of enterprises, the active introduction of RFID technology to promote the intelligent upgrading of asset management is not only an inevitable choice to enhance the level of internal management, but also in the fierce competition in the market to seize the first opportunity of the key initiatives. In the future development, with the continuous innovation and improvement of RFID technology, I believe it will play a more important role in the field of enterprise asset management, creating greater value for the enterprise.
