MINDWARE - INDIA (www.indianbarcode.com)

RFID Implementations• Key Features– Data Extraction– Fixed Asset Inventory/Reconciliation– Application of RFID Tags– PeopleSoft Inventory Results Upload– Mobile Barcode/RFID Inventory Software– Training


Current Solution• Barcode asset ID tagging?• Centralized asset management software?• Dedicated resources?• Inventory cycle?• Manual inventory collection?• Reconciliation process?


What can RFID do for you?• Enhance your current inventory strategy• Reduce the need for physical asset contact • Reduce the search for assets• Reduce the burden on resources• Implemented with software, it can make the

reconciliation process less difficult


Critical Assets for RFID Tagging• Office Equipment• Portable Equipment• IT Equipment• Building Equipment• Heavy Machinery• Lab and Research Equipment• Licensed Vehicles


Issues for Consideration• Tag Environment– Will the tag:

• be exposed to weather?• experience high temperatures?• be susceptible to “high traffic”?

• Accessibility to Tag– Will the tag:

• be hidden from view?• be applied to an asset that is difficult to reach?• be applied to an asset that should not be handled?• be applied to an asset that is highly mobile?

Passive RFID Tags• Components/Features:

– No Internal Battery- powered by energy emitted from a reader.– Smaller in size– Store up to 128 kb of data– Read/Write capability– $$

• Applications– Consumer Goods– Inventory– Books– Smart Cards– Documents


Inventory Management Analysis• Battery: Tag only needs to emit frequency when

prompted by a reader.• Size: Though human readable capability is required, the

smaller the better.• Data storage: Asset ID ties all current asset details to a

master profile. Storage size becomes a non-issue.• Read/Write: Tags will be used simply for asset

identification purposes. Write capabilities are not necessary.

• $: Cost can make RFID implementations unattainable.


Ultra High Frequency• Components/Features:– Store small amounts of data– Longer read range– No secure communication– $$

• Applications– Warehouse management– Pallet Identification– Inventory– Healthcare


Inventory Management Analysis• Data: Only record asset ID. No need for large

amount of coded data. • Read Range: The longer the read range the

better.• Data Security: Sensitive data will not be stored in

the RFID tag, therefore secure communications is not an issue.

• $: Cost is a major consideration, but read range is necessary.

RFID Tag Types


Tag Types• Many types of Passive UHF RFID tags• Tag Considerations:– Asset Type (Real estate available on asset)– Size (dimensions)– Environment– Surface adhesion

• Consider use of multiple tag types


Multi-Surface Tags• 7’ read distance• 1.43”x0.43”x0.2”• Durable construction• Multi surface adhesion• Pre-programmed• Human readable and barcoded asset ID• Applications

– IT Asset management– Lab Equipment Management– Asset Management


Ultra Slim Tags• 2-4’ read distance• 1.43”x0.43”x.0.08”- Low profile• Durable construction• High performance acrylic adhesive• Pre-programmed• Human readable and barcoded asset ID• Applications:

– Laptops/Tablets– Printers– Cased Equipment

Equipments we Provide


Tablet PC• Tablet inventory collection solution– Increase mobility– Ease of data entry– Use existing equipment– Data reconciliation


Bluetooth Add-Ons• Use Bluetooth technology to pair Barcode or

RFID reading device– Ability to pair multiple reading devices at the

same time– Inexpensive add-ons to existing equipment– Ability to move from barcode verification to RFID

verification easily
