Monday, July 11, 2011 at 6:30AM
If your company is still spending hours/days taking inventory, you need to get with RFID!
With a NoxVault Handheld from SimplyRFiD, you will experience fast and easy asset management that is ten times faster than your antiquated barcode methods. This NoxVault handheld is a UHF Generation 2 RFID reader with about a 20ft read range. It is WiFi enabled and has a full QWERTY keyboard with a 3.5'' color displayed touch screen. This awesome handheld can handle all of your inventory needs, reading up to 100 tags per second! This makes taking inventory a process that used to take hours/days, into a process that takes only minutes.
Also check out how the NoxVault can be used as a geiger counter to mine for lost assets!
With RFID, taking inventory is as easy as, Tag, Squeeze and Success™!
1. Tag items with RFiD.
Place an RFID tag on each asset. Each RFID tag has a unique value and that value is stored in Excel in a column/cell so you know which RFID tag is assigned to each asset. For ideas on RFID tags -- checkout the Nox-2 for general low-cost RFID, or Nox-TM4 for on-metal rugged RFID tagging.
2. Squeeze trigger to locate items.
NoxVault will locate all items within about 15 feet. If you have a pre-defined inventory, like "Carl's Office", Nox will tell you how many items it found, how many are missing, and
show you a list of the missing items by name. For instance, "Red Stapler" instead of "Asset 12332".
3. Success! Your items are now updated in Excel format.
You can edit the Excel spreadsheet, add columns (e.g. "Purchase Date", "Cost", "Serial #") with important information and sort by missing, found, or location -- all using Excel.
