RFID Tracking
Track items more quickly and accurately.
Imagine being able to identify hundreds of objects in seconds. That is the power of RFID.
Why should you invest in RFID?
Time
Track items 90% quicker
Scan and process hundreds of items in seconds without the need to physically scan every individual item.
Traceability
Identify missing items in seconds
Instantly check the number of items brought back and identify missing items like cables in seconds.
Operations
Save 3 to 4 hours per week
Let your crew members do less manual work, and give them more time to work on perfecting productions.
How RFID works
The components of RFID technology
RFID Reader (Scanner)
Includes a transceiver & an antenna. The reader receives data from the RFID tag and stores it in a database.
RFID Tag
Includes a transponder with a circuit & an antenna. The tag transmits inventory data to the reader.
Rentman
Data transmitted to the database gets identified. This is where the connection with Rentman happens.
The first step after purchasing your hardware might seem like the most tedious one, as you have to manually attach tags to each piece of equipment. We recommend grouping items based on a set of criteria, such as materials, size, importance etc.
For equipment where attaching the tag is difficult, such as cables, we recommend getting heat shrinking tubes to secure your tags in place.
Tip: Since tags are relatively small, make sure to mark tagged items to have a better overview of items that still have to be tagged.
Link tags to equipment in your Rentman account by using the Rentman app.
- Open the Rentman app and select the items you want to link
- Go to the 'Serial numbers' tab
- Start scanning the item and the tag will automatically be detected
Grab all the tagged items that you need and place them inside the flight case.
Once you're done packing, grab your RFID scanner and scan your flight case to see the items inside.
Get the right RFID reader
We recommend getting a scanner set from Zebra, such as the TC26, TC27 and the RFD40 for optimal performance.
The RFD40 pairs with the TC26 and TC27 for optimal RFID capabilities. With its long-range scanning capabilities and high-speed data transfer, the device allows users to capture and transmit large amounts of data in real-time.
Do you already have a Zebra scanner? Make sure it supports RFID, as not all of them have this capability.
