Asset tracking
A practical tracking system around real asset movements
RFID asset tracking can reduce manual audits, help locate missing equipment and create an auditable history of movements between stores, production areas, vehicles, customer sites or departments.
The best system may combine portals for automatic transitions, fixed readers for controlled zones and handhelds for mobile inventory. We design the reader mix and integrate its events with a suitable asset register or existing platform.
System scope
Designed as a complete working solution
- Asset and tool identification
- Portal-based movement records
- Handheld inventory and search
- Smart cabinets and controlled stores
- Returnable transport item tracking
- Location, custody and status workflows
Typical applications
Where RFID asset tracking creates value
Plant and equipment
Improve visibility of mobile equipment moving between sites, stores or departments.
Reusable assets
Monitor totes, cages, pallets, kegs or containers through repeated cycles.
IT and high-value items
Support audits and movement controls for tagged equipment and inventory.
Application engineering
Details that shape the specification
We assess the real items, movement, environment and target system before confirming the design.
01
Tag attachment
The tag must suit the asset material, environment, expected life and attachment method.
02
Required location accuracy
Zone-level movement tracking and precise real-time location are different architectures.
03
Operational adoption
The workflow must fit how people issue, move, count and return assets in practice.
Frequently asked
Asset tracking questions
Have a product, site or integration constraint not covered here? Speak directly with our team.
Ask Oxford TraceabilityCan RFID tell me the exact location of an asset?+
Standard portal and fixed-reader systems usually provide zone or last-seen information. More precise real-time location may require a different or enhanced locating architecture.
Can RFID tags be attached to metal assets?+
Yes. Purpose-designed on-metal tags are available in many sizes and mounting formats. The exact asset and read distance should be tested.
Can we use both fixed and handheld readers?+
Yes. A hybrid design is common: fixed readers capture predictable movements, while handhelds support audits, searches and exceptions.
