As it pertains to SimplyRFiD, we'll give you the basic questions here. Please think about:

  • What are you tagging and how many things would you like to tag? What are the items made out of? Water? Metal?
  • What would you like to happen when we locate what you tagged? Would you like Alarms? Emails? Video of the event?
  • How many doors / hallways would you like to monitor? How big is each door? Will the system be installed at multiple locations / buildings?
  • Would you like a checkout system? A Handheld? A covert black-ops system? Do you need to do supply-chain operations (Item-To-Case / Case-To-Pallet?)? 
  • Turnkey: Would you like to manage the installation yourself? Do you have power and ethernet available where the installation will occur? Do you have high-speed Internet? What network switches are currently in-place? Do you have an IT staff or would you like this 100% turnkey?
  • Tagging: Who will tag your assets? How will you continue to tag your assets?

With these questions answered, we can give an accurate quote.
