Do you dread physical inventories? Inventory can lead to hours of physically counting assets, , devices that may be forgotten or out-of-sight, hard-to-reach items like projectors, access points, server rooms, and everything in between. This dull work is time-consuming, and leaves room for human error.
Scanning inventory with RFID technology can easily pick up difficult-to-reach items in a room in a fraction of the time it would normally take.
So you know what RFID Technology is , but do you know how it works?
RFID technology works by transmitting radio waves between an RFID scanner (i.e., interrogator) and an RFID tag, which is made up of a microchip with an antenna.
When a scanner sends out electromagnetic waves, the RFID tag attuned to receive the waves sends a unique signal back to the scanner. The microchip on the RFID tags holds information on the tag and relays the electronic product code (EPC) and asset tag number to the RFID scanner.

What do tollbooths, concert wristbands, and your favorite retail store have in common? RFID!
RFID, or Radio Frequency Identification, is a technology that utilizes radio frequency waves to transfer data and information.

After six months of using TIPWeb-IT, Cherry Creek School District repurposed approximately $30,000 worth of equipment.
Before implementing TIPWeb-IT, the district didn’t have a way to track assets at all. In fact, they didn’t track anything at the district level. “Schools managed it the best they could using any method that they had. From a district perspective, we didn’t manage it at all,” said Huy.
With no way to know what assets they had, Cherry Creek couldn’t have anticipated their surplus before adopting TIPWeb-IT. But within six months of implementing an asset management system, they saw a return on their investment.
