Martela identifies furniture with RFIDMartela has launched a system that improves the speed and accuracy of office furniture inventory at customer sites significantly. Our solution provider partner, Vilant Systems implemented the system. The identification solution is based on RFID tags that are attached to office locations and furniture. Confidex Steelwave Micro is used for each office space to identify its location and in furniture that requires small size RFID tag which also can be read from metal surfaces. The furniture in that space is inventoried with handheld RFID reader, supplied by NordicID. The handheld reader pick up tagged furniture efficiently also from longer distances so the system improves the design and planning process of office upgrades or moving. It also improves inventory accuracy for book keeping. The system reduces human error during inventory and it speeds up the inventory take process significantly. It is normal that the office layout lives while employees do small changes and inventory records are out of date quickly. With the new system a normal office room can be inventoried in 10 seconds. Due to the accurate and up to date inventory record, office moving and upgrade planning is improved. The customer also receives accurate furniture inventory records for book keeping. |
