Passive vs Active RFID Tags

There are two types of RFID tags; active RFID and passive RFID. Active RFID tags are always-on because they are battery-powered, while passive RFID tags are manually activated, giving you more flexibility in utilizing your RFID tags. Passive RFID tags from Asset Vue also come at a lower price point, providing equal, if not better, value than the competition.

With our passive RFID asset management software, you can monitor assets in your building without interacting with them physically. Our innovations have improved the capabilities of passive RFID and made our solutions more cost-effective for our clients.

What is RFID asset tracking?

RFID asset tracking is a system that uses RFID tags and electromagnetic readers to collect data from fixed or movable assets. It helps companies automate the manual processes of asset management, significantly reducing time, energy, and costs. 

How does RFID Asset Tracking work?

RFID Asset Tracking is a technology that uses radio waves to track and manage physical assets. It involves the use of RFID tags, readers, antennas, and asset tracking software. RFID tags are attached to assets and contain data such as name, condition, quantity, and location. When an RFID reader detects a nearby tag, it wirelessly transmits the data to an asset tracking database where it is stored, evaluated, and actioned. 

What are the advantages of using an RFID tracking system?

With RFID, accuracy is improved from an average of 65% to over 95%, reducing errors and minimizing the chance of mistakes made by humans. RFID also streamlines receiving time, leading to a 90% improvement and reducing labor time significantly. In terms of durability, RFID tags are less likely to become unreadable than barcodes and can withstand harsh weather conditions. 

What type of data can be collected with an RFID tracking system?

An RFID tracking system can collect various types of data, including the location, condition, and maintenance needs of the assets. The collected data can be stored on a computer system and used to optimize asset usage, manage inventory, monitor stock levels, and track the movement of goods. 

 

The components of RFID Asset Management

1. RFID Tags

RFID tags are intelligent barcodes that use radio frequency technology to identify assets. They can store a range of information, from a serial number to data on manufacture, condition, location, movements, and storage requirements. There are three types of RFID tags – passive, active, and semi-passive. Passive tags don’t use batteries and are smaller and less expensive, with shorter read ranges. Active tags are larger and more expensive, with longer read ranges. Semi-passive tags are a combination of both. 

2. RFID Reader

RFID readers use internal antennas to emit radio waves and retrieve signals from RFID tags. Readers can be mobile or mounted, and they evaluate information in real-time, transmitting data to a software system where it is stored and referenced as needed. There are two types of RFID readers used in RFID Asset Management: handheld RFID readers and fixed readers. Handheld RFID readers interact with RFID asset tags and are portable, making them ideal for tracking movable assets. Fixed readers are stationary and used to track fixed assets. 

3. Asset Tracking Software

Asset Tracking Software is a crucial component of RFID Asset Management, enabling to track and monitor their assets in real-time. 

4. Barcode Labels

Barcode labels are a popular choice for businesses in RFID asset management. These labels are cheap, easy to use, and can be printed at home. There are various types of barcode labels, including 1D and 2D labels, that can be scanned by a barcode scanner to retrieve information about the asset. The benefits of using barcode labels in conjunction with RFID technology include cost-effectiveness and ease of use. 

How to set up an RFID asset tracking system

  • Step 1: Choose an asset tracking solution
  • Step 2: Add assets to the system
  • Step 3: Configure the RFID tag reader
  • Step 4: Set up workflow rules
  • Step 5: Configure notifications, such as asset movement or low inventory
  • Step 6: Track progress with reports
  • Step 7: Manage users accounts
