Metal RFID Tags use a non-contact automatic identification technology, through the radio signal to achieve the automatic identification and tracking of items.RFID system consists of RFID tags, RFID readers and RFID centre management system.
RFID tag is the core component of RFID system, which can be used for automatic identification and tracking of various items. However, in practical applications, it is often necessary to identify and track metal items, which requires metal RFID tags.
The Evolution of Tracking: Metal RFID Tags
The metal RFID tags are made of durable Flame Retardant 4 (FR-4) laminate material that can withstand temperatures up to 200°C (can be placed in oil), high humidity, and pressures up to 15-bar. EPC Class 1 Gen 2 and RoHS compliant with an IP68 protection rating, the tags can also be used with barcodes, 2D barcodes, and coding.
The metal RFID tags can operate in high-temperature environments with stable performance, making them ideal for IT assets that require small RFID tags.
Enhanced Security with Metal RFID tags for Your IT Assets
Strictly speaking, IT asset management systems fall under the broader umbrella of enterprise RFID fixed asset management systems. Complete IT asset management encompasses the practices and strategies used to oversee, manage and optimise company-owned IT systems, hardware, processes and data. As part of a company’s asset management strategy, the IT department is responsible for implementing, tracking and maintaining IT assets and assessing whether these IT assets need to be optimised, replaced with cheaper options or upgraded to newer technologies. Why is IT asset management so important? The following factors will help you learn more.
1. IT asset value is more expensive: for example, the value of common laptops, servers, etc;
2. IT assets and equipment to update faster: according to Moore’s Law, the computing power of the computer CPU will be doubled every 18 months, regular assets can be used for 5 to 10 years, and IT equipment is different from other assets basically 3 to 5 years must be updated once. Therefore, IT asset management needs are very important;
3. IT asset information security is high: modern society is all digital equipment. The data of business operations are stored in IT assets. Therefore, compared to the value of the IT equipment itself, the data stored in it is of higher value, so IT assets need to be inventoried frequently and quickly.
Efficiency Improve: Streamlined Processes with Metal RFID Tags
Currently common asset management software uses barcode technology. Through the naked eye can identify the label surface information, the user can clearly understand the IT assets and equipment related to the situation, the use of hand-held bar code equipment by reading each IT asset equipment label a bar code information, in order to achieve the maintenance of the identity of the confirmation, the purpose of inventory statistics. But the bar code technology requires information visible, it means that users must need to see the fixed assets itself asset identification labels to achieve the scanning inventory in the actual use of the process, time-consuming and laborious. Enterprise assets and distributed in different locations in the enterprise. Item form varies, inventory personnel may not know what all the assets need to be counted look like. This leads to inventory inefficiency, each inventory for fixed asset managers are a kind of suffering. Slowly the enterprise IT fixed asset management is more and more inconsistent with the accounts.
At the same time from the point of view of the actual use of the customer introduced RFID technology for different scenarios, the use of different specifications of the RFID product, to achieve the IT asset inventory convenient, intelligent, to achieve the purpose of easy management of IT fixed assets. Straight to do the books in line with the real. Below we introduce the more common IT asset management scenarios.
1. Metal RFID Tags for Office Class IT Fixed Assets Equipment
The most common scenarios of IT assets is scattered in the production and operation of various places in the enterprise desktop computers, notebooks, clients, terminals and so on. For this type of scene, we will enter the asset information into the IT asset management system. Then we print out metal RFID tags through the IT asset management system and apply them to the surface of the corresponding IT assets, so as to realise the matching between the identification and the real thing.
It is important to note that our IT assets have CPUs, motherboards, memory and other electronic components inside. Therefore, it is necessary to use metal RFID tags to achieve RFID reading.
2. Metal RFID Tags for Machine Rooms, Cabinets, Data Centre Class IT Fixed Assets Equipment
IT assets another very important scene is the cabinet class, data centre level environment. This environment is characterised by small size and high density. In this scenario, common laptop RFID tags are not applicable. According to this situation, the special selection of metal RFID tags and a variety of reading methods for customers to inventory options.
1) We can continue the inventory of office IT assets in a manual way. Inventory personnel use handheld devices to arrive at the site of the cabinet and read the IT assets such as servers, storage, switches, firewalls, etc. in the cabinet.
2) We can install RFID reading devices and antennas in the cabinet. This will enable remote inventory.
3) Combined with what we talked about at the beginning of the context, IT assets must be accounted for. Especially in the environment of data centre room management. There are some important financial institutions and high-level confidentiality units, the need for each IT asset in the cabinet of the location of the equipment needs to be accurately mastered. And this mastery still needs to be reflected in real time. And this mastery still needs to be reflected in real time. These devices often have a metal shell will affect the ordinary tag information transfer. Metal RFID tags can accurately do the location of positioning and multi-objects to read the information at the same time. Allow customers to achieve real-time visual data centre equipment positioning and inventory management needs.
Conclusion
IT asset management through metal RFID tags, can assist customers to more easily manage enterprise IT fixed assets.
