Asset Vue’s RFID Solution Tracks IT Assets Within Enterprises
Real-Time Rack from Impinj partner Asset Vue uses RAIN RFID to help companies monitor high-value IT assets from delivery to decommission — in real time.
Solution for tracking high-value assets
As companies get busier and resources become fewer, keeping track of assets gets harder and harder. Knowing the precise location of IT equipment is especially important. Electronic items such as computers, printers, phones, and hard drives are not only expensive to replace if lost, but their absence can also cause unanticipated downtime for office staff, slow workflow in factories, or even trigger a data breach.
Impinj partner Asset Vue offers a way for companies to keep track of their critical IT assets quickly, safely, and accurately with RAIN RFID. Asset Vue's Real-Time Rack solution uses a combination of Impinj RAIN RFID tag chips and readers to monitor the location and status of tagged equipment, sending data to a software dashboard in real time. The solution replaces time-consuming and error-prone inventory and tracking processes often done using pen and paper and gives companies accurate information about their IT equipment, whether it’s in the room next door or a satellite office halfway around the world.
Delivering real-time data with RAIN RFID
Asset Vue's Real-Time Rack solution can save time and money for all kinds of enterprises. For example, it can help government agencies — which are heavily regulated — more easily audit their assets to stay in compliance. Hospitals and manufacturing facilities can see which servers may be out of service but still using power. Schools, with multiple physical locations and valuable assets that move in and out of buildings on a daily basis, can know when and where a lost device was last seen.
Here’s how Real-Time Rack works:- RAIN RFID labels featuring Impinj RAIN RFID tag chips and encoded with information such as a product’s name, condition, and location are attached to IT assets and registered in the Asset Vue system.
- Impinj R700 RAIN RFID readers — installed by Asset Vue in areas such as office doorways, data centers, loading dock entrances, and exits — automatically read tagged items as they pass by.
- When a RAIN RFID tag is read, the reader wirelessly transmits that tag’s data in real time to an asset-tracking database where it is stored, evaluated, and presented to the user.
- Employees can use the collected data to track depreciation, optimize asset usage, manage inventory, monitor stock levels, and track the movement of items — throughout their entire lifecycle.
Item insight made easy with RAIN RFID
Asset Vue's Real-Time Rack solution helps organizations manage physical assets and synchronizes data to ensure consistency throughout an enterprise. The RAIN RFID asset-tracking system is autonomous, meaning it works in the background without the need for employees to initiate processes or manually scan tags.
Benefits of the Asset Vue and Impinj solution include:
Real-time alerts when assets change status
It’s easy to misplace a laptop or accidentally leave the office with a tablet. Real-Time Rack can be configured to alert managers, directors, or others if an asset leaves a building — or even changes rooms — automatically and in real time, offering assurance that important and expensive devices stay exactly where they are supposed to be.
Time-saving inventory processes
Many companies use paper lists or electronic spreadsheets, often saved on just one employee’s laptop, to keep track of inventory. With the Impinj and Asset Vue solution, tracking the addition or decommissioning of an asset is easy and faster than traditional methods, saving employees time and eliminating errors that can happen during manual counts.
Asset tracking throughout a product’s lifecycle
Electronic items like laptops and tablets tend to wear out quickly, leaving employees struggling to do their work with outdated equipment. Real-Time Rack tracks an item’s depreciation, giving staff plenty of time to upgrade.
Hassle-free inventory auditing
Many organizations — particularly government agencies that are heavily regulated — must deliver frequent reports about the status of their assets. The Real-Time Rack RAIN RFID solution gathers this data automatically and presents it electronically, preventing personnel from having to crawl under desks or reach behind heavy equipment to track down barcodes or serial numbers.
