Optimizing Automated Asset Tracking
RFID systems enhance inventory accuracy, help organizations optimize logistics processes and increase productivity. HID Global designs RFID tags that can be customized to any use case offering tags that support all standard frequencies, including low frequency, high frequency and UHF, with memory sizes that range from 64 bit to multiple kilobytes. Meanwhile, manufacturing today is increasingly sophisticated involving a myriad of complexities and automated procedures. With this sophistication has come a greater need to monitor products as they go through the production process to achieve efficiencies that lower operating costs. As part of an automation solution, HID Global’s RFID tags enable data to move with a product, adding information as the product travels through the manufacturing process. The tags can also monitor the performance and repair history of the manufacturing equipment. “We’re everywhere businesses, schools and governments need convenient ways to protect physical and digital places. Our products and services make it easy for the right people to get in while keeping the wrong people out.”

HID Global’s advanced RFID tags and components are essential to optimizing automated asset tracking and logistics systems. The company’s transponders help ensure seamless traceability and reduce losses, while enhancing stock management and processing speed. Passive contactless RFID tags improve data collection speed and accuracy, making tracking more cost-effective while increasing accuracy.HID Location Services provides both real-time visibility and actionable data on equipment, people and processes. Offering maximum flexibility on what, where and how businesses manage assets, it allows to set up policies that track movement in and out of inventory locations and that track assets in real-time within one-meter accuracy. “Whether you want to track many assets across multiple locations or a few high-value assets within a specific area, asset management must provide location accuracy and inventory shrinkage regardless of industry, environment or asset type.”

As safer, more efficient and sustainable environments are cultivated, people have the freedom to move, interact and work with confidence. From mobile IDs to beacons to smart cards, the company’s broad range of identification and physical access solutions empower people to manage, measure and maximize the trust they have in a place and in its occupants. HID uses technology like RFID and active low-energy Bluetooth to securely connect equipment, machines, devices, product inventory and many other physical assets. “Utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT), we make it easy to identify, verify, track and communicate with objects directly. We are exploring new ways to add digital capabilities to a virtually limitless list of things — from assembly line objects and production robots to clothes, posters and even life-jackets — while delivering trust and peace of mind to the people and businesses that rely on us.”
