Active RFID Tracking for High-Value Assets
Active RFID Tracking with proven hardware, powerful software and flexible deployment options at the lowest cost in the industry.
Mobile RFID Tracking provides visibility for tactical situations. Proof of ROI deployments provide data to help unlock your business potential!
Track & Save 40%
High-value asset tracking is still a manual process in most industrial environments with high steel content or electro-magnetic interference, due to perceived cost and reliability issues with RFID technology.
The latest Active RFID technology has proven to function reliably in difficult environments. The cost of active RFID tags and readers has dropped
to the point where well-designed active RFID systems compete well with the total cost of passive RFID technology and actually deliver fully automated real-time data, changing your level of asset visibility completely!
Active RFID hardware must be interfaced with RFID software and information technology infrastructure to generate actionable data that can drive business process improvement.
The RF*IDI Active RFID Tracking System can deliver net savings to your bottom line that exceed 40% through automated asset visibility data tailored to your business model!
An RF*IDI proof of ROI deployment enables
your business to sample real-time asset visibility to determine if you have a solid case for implementing an active RFID tracking solution.
Real-Time Visibility
The RF*IDI Active RFID Tracking System provides live asset visibility updates every
15 minutes to your desk from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.
This capability is impossible with passive RFID technology. Because passive systems rely on chokepoints, once an
asset passes a chokepoint, the assumption is that the asset is present until another chokepoint is triggered,
signaling that the asset has left the area.
Active RFID tracking systems do not rely on chokepoints. With active RFID solutions, assets announce their presence at timed intervals. An asset is only considered present as long
as signals keep coming. With an active RFID range of 300 ft or more, your monitoring area does not need to be structured and changes in the flow of assets do not
require system re-configuration.
The RF*IDI Active RFID Tracking System can also track status changes in a container, such as loading, unloading or other location related
events within multiple facilities. The ability to track loading and unloading with a timestamp provides automated inventory control, monitoring inventory quantity
and FIFO (First-In, First-Out) status.
RF*IDI, LLC Profile
RF*IDI, LLC is a sister company to Industrial Design Innovations, Inc. (IDI), a leader in custom steel container design,
prototyping and container fleet management.
IDI was founded in 1996 and has established relationships with all
the major automakers and many tier one suppliers, with staff that have been working in container management for more than 20 years.
RF*IDI leveraged IDI's experience in container management to develop a container/asset tracking system with a focus on solving
real-world problems faced in industry every day.
RF*IDI also draws on more than 11 years of expertise developing
enterprise-level information management systems for a global corporation, using standard Windows-based platforms and coding tools. As a result, RF*IDI IT infrastructure
is lightweight, small footprint and low cost. Easy integration and scalability are built right in.
The combination of container management experience and IT development experience enabled RF*IDI to leverage RFID technology to develop an automated tracking system unlike any that are currently available in the industry at any price!
RFID System Design
Based on discussions with numerous automakers, suppliers and equipment manufacturers, we identified some common themes.
Integration
Companies repeatedly told us that the RFID solutions they studied had complex integration requirements. The RF*IDI
RFID Tracking system can deliver its capability without any integration to your existing business systems!
Interface
The best system in the world won't provide much benefit if people don't use it.
RF*IDI designed an adaptable interface based on input from people tasked with managing high-value assets every day. Displays for fleet use, containers full, parts available and closed-loop paths completed, provide complete visibility.
Reporting
The RF*IDI Active RFID Tracking System stores data in an industry standard relational database management system.
This database can be interfaced to existing business systems or the RF*IDI built-in reporting system can output data to a printer or electronic spreadsheet for import into other business applications.
Adaptable
RF*IDI can engineer a custom version of our software specifically
targeted to your industry.
