What are the reasons why the RFID asset inventory system is simpler?

What are the inconveniences of traditional Asset inventory methods?

Generally speaking, traditional asset inventory methods include manual inventory and barcode inventory. Manual inventory is relatively primitive and inefficient. Barcode inventory improves efficiency based on manual inventory, but it still has many inconveniences. The following is about Reasons why manual inventory and barcode inventory are inconvenient:

Manual inventory: that is, manually recording, checking, counting the quantity, status, location and other information of assets, and then comparing it with the book data to find differences and make adjustments. The main inconveniences of this method are: time-consuming and labor-intensive, error-prone, inefficient, and difficult to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of data.

Barcode inventory: that is, through the barcode label attached to the asset, use a barcode scanner or a smartphone or other device to scan the barcode to obtain relevant information about the asset, and then compare it with the book data to find differences and make adjustments. The main inconveniences of this method are: it requires the purchase and maintenance of barcode labels and scanning equipment. Barcode labels are easily damaged or peeled off. The scanning process is easily affected by environmental factors, such as light, distance, angle, etc., resulting in scanning failure or misreading. .

Why using RFID technology to take inventory of fixed assets is easier

RFID technology is a wireless communication technology that can transmit and exchange data through radio waves. The core of RFID technology is RFID tag, which is a miniature electronic device that can be attached to fixed assets. It can Store and send information related to fixed assets, such as number, name, location, status, etc. RFID technology can make fixed asset inventory easier and has the following main advantages:

RFID technology can achieve long-distance, high-speed, and batch identification without manual scanning or input, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of inventory.

RFID technology can achieve real-time data update and synchronization without manual recording or summary, greatly reducing the workload and error rate of inventory.

RFID technology can realize multi-dimensional data analysis and management without manual classification or statistics, greatly enhancing the function and value of inventory.

Specifically, the RFID asset inventory system can help enterprises achieve the following goals:

Improve efficiency and accuracy: The RFID asset inventory system can realize automatic and real-time asset inventory, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of inventory.

Realize asset tracking and positioning: Through RFID technology, the location and status of assets can be tracked in real time to prevent assets from being lost or stolen.

Optimize resource allocation: RFID technology can provide real-time data on asset usage, helping companies better understand and allocate resources.

Improve management level: RFID technology can realize the management of the entire life cycle of fixed assets, including asset purchase, allocation, idleness, scrapping and other aspects. This helps enterprises establish a comprehensive ASSET MANAGEMENT system and improve management levels.

Promote digital transformation: RFID technology, as an important part of IoT technology, can help enterprises realize digitalization and intelligence of asset management. This helps companies improve operational efficiency and enhance competitiveness.

To sum up, RFID technology is an advanced fixed asset inventory method, which can save time, cost and manpower, and improve the quality and effect of inventory.
