Drone Scanning

This is possibly the most modern and sophisticated tool to track inventory/assets. Drones are fitted with bar code or RFID scanners. These drones fly within warehouse aisles and scan tags, post this the scan data is auto transferred from drono memory to your inventory management system. Drone flying can be pre timed during night or scheduled slots. This is suitable for environment where inventory is stacked properly. Few benefits are as below:

• Improve safety when counting inventory
• Make tasks less laborious
• Automate inventory tasks
• Avoid interrupting operations
• Reduce material resources and their occupancy rate
• Enrich inventory tasks and optimize human resources
• Automatically integrate data into the your inventory management system

Robotic Scanning

Ideal for Retail sector, such Robots scan inventory or assets kept at various locations in retail outlets, plants, warehouses, offices. These robots scan tags and further capabilities such as:

• Conducting stock takes
• Identifying products kept out of place
• Identifying gap fill points
• Highlighting shrinkages
• Safety stock reporting
• Out of stock reporting

RFID Fixed Readers

This reader is installed at fixed place and able to read RFID tags. This is suitable to be installed at entry/ exit points/ bay areas at your Factories, Warehouse, Corporate Offices. All items passing in proximity of 10 mtrs can be read via this reader. This is very suitable to read inventory/ asset items. Some benefits of this scanner include:

• reading with no line-of-sight or item-by-item scans required
• multiple tags can be read at a time
• technology automates data collection and vastly reduces human effort and error

RFID Handheld Readers

RFID Handheld reader are most commonly used to verify stock and assets. There are 3 simple steps:

• Asset or inventory information is uploaded in scanner
• Tags are scanned by this scanned
• Upon scanning asset or inventory records get auto reconciled between book record and physical reading

Typically, these RFID Handheld Reader have a read range upto 10 metres and definitely score over conventional Bar Code readers in terms of read range, read rate and auto reconciliations

Mobile Tag Scanning

Simple mobile applications can assist to scan bar code/ QR code tags. Scanned data is linked to stock/asset management application and short/excess/reconciled reports are generated. Benefits of this technology include:

• Software cost is very low
• Quick to implement
• Minimal investment in readers
• Semi-automation can be achieved
