Remote Asset Tracking

Protecting valuable assets is crucial to those involved in supply chain, heavy equipment industries and construction. The cost associated with replacing misplaced or stolen equipment can be a significant drain on profits. Another important consideration is the opportunity costs associated with lost or stolen equipment.

The combination of RFID, SmartSensors, GPS, and AVIDdirector makes the tracking and monitoring of assets highly cost effective. Typical ROI is less than 12 months.


How the Process Works

  1. Equipment traveling in the site is installed with Gen 2 RFID tags that can be read on-site and at various locations around the site. The RFID reader and antenna is attached to the AVIDdirector.
  2. Each utility vehicle used on-site contains an AVIDdirector, which has a display unit for communication with the system. Information or messages are passed to and from the workers via the display. Each AVIDdirector installed in the equipment has been GPS enabled for tracking. In addition to communicating via the monitor, messages can be sent to any data enabled device carried by the users.
  3. The central AVIDdirector reviews the information gathered from the RFID readers and determines what information is important and should be sent to the back-end monitoring system. RFID is used to track equipment and personnel moving in and out of the site.
  4. AVIDdirector is configured to make decisions and handle communications with the server. For longer range communication, you can use as GPRS, iDen, CDMA or Satellite.
 
  1. The information gathered from the equipment, which has been securely configured specifically for the back-end system, is carried over the carrier's data network, through the Internet, and is accepted by the back-end system and stored in a database.
  2. The back-end systems provide various reports and information configured specifically for location monitoring and communication, which are available to an authorized user.
  3. Should unscheduled equipment leave the area, alerts are sent to the appropriate personnel.
