TracAssetTM

TracAssetTM is an RFID-assisted asset management and tracking solution.

Will be demonstrated at the RFID Hands On Training Forum on October 20, 2009 - http://winmec.ucla.edu/handson

To register for the TracAssetTM Training and Certification Program on January 27, 2010, please go to http://www.winmec.ucla.edu/rfid/tracasset/2010-01/

The system captures detailed information on each asset (location, department, record creation, cost, warranty period, manufacturer, images and pictures, asset-specific notes)

Each asset can be linked to asset-related activities or events which are monitored as per the defined protocol. Any exception to the protocol raises pre-defined alerts.

System snapshot:

Salient features:

  • Multiple RFID technologies supported independently or in consort
  • Supported by a network of fixed and mobile RFID equipment, which is managed from an administrative console.
  • Agnostic to size, material and operational parameters of the asset.
  • Unique ID generation - using end-user defined ID structure
  • One time ID generation and locking with password protection
  • Writing and reading of data to tag (specific to user, business logic, workflow and time-dependent)
  • Provides track and trace capability under local-area as well as wide-area network
  • Asset and activity linked event logging

Managing:

Manage inter- and intra- department/organization loaning and leasing, maintenance planning, warranty planning, and asset's important spares' inventory

Monitoring:

Monitor asset's home location, temporary location, temporary out-of-home-location time period, movement in conjunction with designated escort, and zoning

Reporting:

  • All monitored list of activities or events
  • Loaning history
  • Maintenance and warranty history
  • Exception and alert history

System requirements:

  • Windows Vista, XP, Mobile 5.0/6.0
  • .NET Framework 3.5, .NET Compact Framework 3.5
  • Database Engine - either of
  • Microsoft Access 2007, SQL Server Compact 3.5,
