There is no one simple answer to this question. Handheld RFID readers can read RFID tags somewhere between 1 and 50+ feet. Fixed readers can read RFID tags up to 100+ feet. Some very large tags that are designed for items like shipping containers are able to achieve a read range of over 100 feet, however, the size […]
Tracking IT assets such as laptops poses interesting problems, especially when you have security requirements. Some specific challenges seen with laptop tracking includes: Metal Ensuring good read rates Tag placement Laptops generally have a significant amount of metal on them, so using passive RFID tags can be a challenge. Sometimes laptops have a plastic outer layer, however the metal inside the […]
Our software allows you to automate data collection, which leads to less human error and less time spent on barcode solution tracking. RFID handheld devices scan and read dozens of tags at a time, so you will have immediate visibility of what is missing and what is accounted for. Using RFID tags allows you to read racks of equipment […]
There are many advantages of using RFID for inventorying assets vs using manual and barcode processes.

Walls constructed of concrete and cinder block will typically prevent most RFID tags from reading through the walls. However, if your walls are constructed of […]
Using RFID tags in a data center allows the technology to really show off its capabilities. In a data center, you often have densely racked servers and network equipment. With the wave of a handheld RFID reader, you can read racks of equipment in seconds without the need of manually reading serial numbers or scanning barcode tags one […]
