Asset Matters Ethiopia addresses four fields in which RFID tags can offer a solution:
1. Asset Management
Administrative matters can influence the value and efficiency of capital, especially in heavy industry, mining industry, and oil and gas production. Tags can offer a solution for the labor intensity of monitoring capital.
2. Supply Chain Management
The cost and profitability in supply chain
management largely depends on the efficiency and quality of transportation. The challenge is to move quantities quickly with the least amount of handling in the most efficient way possible. One of the latest tools to manage quantity distribution is radio frequency identification (RFID).
3. Access Control
With conventional systems of access control, such as bar code, magnetic stripe, and proximity readers, user must handle the badge and place it close to or make physical contact with the reader. RFID technology provides a hands-free access control solution with many advantages over traditional access control badges and systems.
4. Personnel Tracking
Employee location tracking in potentially hazardous environments or situations is paramount to ensuring safety. Evacuation situations often call for the immediate accounting of personnel to ensure personal safety. RFID-technology enables the possibility to use a combination of readers and tags attached to wrist bands or clothes to track personnel in the corporation or in specific zones. RFID-technology enables the possibility to use a combination of readers and tags to conveniently trace capital or personnel. The reader receives signals from the tags so that it can locate objects and get insight to its status and availability. This information will be displayed and saved in a cloud based system. Asset Matters offers this RFID-technology, together with the cloud-based system, via a license based on a monthly user fee.
