Assets Shared Across Two Companies
The system needed to organise assets belonging to two companies in the same building while maintaining clear records for company, department, room, workstation and custodian.
Technowave helped Invictus Trading manage fewer than 1,000 assets across two companies with a cloud-based DIY RFID solution that was implemented and handed over in four working days.
Invictus Trading needed a structured way to manage fewer than 1,000 assets belonging to two companies operating within the same building. Although the asset volume did not justify a large enterprise RFID installation, the client still required reliable asset identification, faster audits and better control over transfers and custodianship.
Technowave International proposed a ready-to-deploy DIY RFID Asset Management Kit. The package combined cloud-based software, pre-encoded RFID tags, Zebra data-capture hardware, training resources and implementation support in a solution the client could operate independently after handover.
The client wanted the operational benefits of RFID while keeping the project proportionate to its asset volume, budget and internal resources.
The system needed to organise assets belonging to two companies in the same building while maintaining clear records for company, department, room, workstation and custodian.
Quarterly verification required assets to be checked individually. The process could take several days and made it difficult to locate missing or incorrectly assigned items quickly.
A conventional RFID deployment with fixed readers, extensive infrastructure and complex integrations was not commercially suitable for a register of fewer than 1,000 assets.
The client wanted professional support for initial tagging and setup but needed its employees to manage future additions, audits, transfers and maintenance schedules without ongoing technical dependency.
Technowave delivered a complete kit containing the software, RFID and barcode hardware, asset tags and guidance required to establish and operate a modern asset register.
Pre-encoded Avery Dennison RFID labels were supplied for non-metallic assets, together with suitable RFID on-metal tags for metallic equipment.
A Zebra RFID handheld reader supports rapid asset audits and proximity-based searches, while a Zebra barcode scanner supports barcode-based identification when required.
Technowave’s cloud-based Asset Management System provides one central platform for asset registration, location tracking, transfers, approvals, maintenance and reporting.
Because the application was cloud-based, no local software installation or server setup was required. This allowed the project team to begin configuration and tagging immediately.
Technowave configured the asset structure for both companies, including departments, rooms, workstations, locations and custodians.
RFID labels were assigned according to each asset’s surface. Standard RFID labels were used for general assets, while on-metal RFID tags were used for metallic equipment.
Technowave completed the initial asset tagging, physical verification and system registration within three working days.
On the fourth day, the client’s employees were trained to register assets, perform RFID audits, search for missing items, process transfers, update records and schedule maintenance.
Training videos and a setup guide remained available for future reference. Technowave also provided online support for technical questions after handover.
The DIY Kit gave Invictus Trading the core advantages of RFID asset management without the cost and complexity of a large fixed-reader deployment.
System setup, tagging, physical verification and employee training were completed within four working days.
RFID allows multiple tagged assets to be identified quickly, reducing quarterly audit time from several days to a matter of hours.
Assets can be tracked according to company, department, room, workstation, location or assigned custodian.
The RFID search function provides proximity-based guidance, helping employees find a specific tagged asset more efficiently.
Transfers between locations, departments or custodians can be recorded and submitted for approval, creating a traceable movement history.
Maintenance schedules can be created for important equipment, helping the company monitor service requirements throughout the asset lifecycle.
Businesses do not need tens of thousands of assets to benefit from RFID. A correctly sized kit can deliver faster audits and better visibility for fewer than 1,000 assets.
The cloud-based platform removed the need for local software installation and server infrastructure, helping the system go live quickly.
Technowave established the first asset register and trained the users, giving the client a dependable starting point for independent future operation.
Using suitable RFID tags for metallic and non-metallic surfaces ensured dependable reads across a mixed range of office and operational assets.
The DIY RFID Asset Management Kit gave Invictus Trading an affordable and easy-to-operate system for managing assets across two companies in the same building.
Within four working days, Technowave completed the initial tagging, physical verification, system setup and employee training. The client can now complete audits within hours, locate assets using RFID, control asset transfers and manage maintenance schedules through one cloud-based platform.
The project demonstrates how small and medium-sized organisations can adopt RFID asset management without investing in complex infrastructure or a large enterprise implementation.
Technowave’s DIY RFID Kit combines cloud software, RFID hardware, pre-encoded tags, training and implementation support for businesses with smaller asset volumes.
