What this connects
RFID readers to stock movement and asset tracking.
Supported workflows
- Bulk goods receipt without individual scanning
- Asset and tool tracking
- WIP movement between production stages
- Fast stock-take of tagged inventory
Data exchanged
- Tag identifiers
- Reader location and timestamp
- Mapped product or asset record
Setup requirements
- RFID readers and antennas installed at read points
- Tags applied and mapped to records
- Network connectivity from readers
Permissions required
- Network access to reader hardware
Security and privacy
- Readers transmit tag identifiers only.
- Reader endpoints should sit on a restricted network segment.
Known limitations
Stated plainly, because finding these out during implementation is worse than knowing them now.
- Metal and liquid interfere with read reliability, which is a physics constraint rather than a software one.
- Tag and reader cost makes RFID worthwhile only above a certain volume.
