RFID solutions

Know where everything is.

Beds, wheelchairs, pumps and machines carry an RFID tag. Fixed readers like the Zebra FX7500 see them pass, and Raptool shows where each item is right now. The same Raptool Client runs RFID stock counts in stores and warehouses.

    RFID solutions

    Track assets. Count stores.

    Two ways RFID saves time: knowing where your equipment is, and counting stock in minutes instead of hours.

    Asset tracking

    Easy Asset with RFID

    Our asset system, Easy Asset, keeps a register of every item: beds, carts, wheelchairs, pumps and other machines. Give each item an RFID tag and fixed readers at doorways, corridors and rooms report where it is, all the time.

    • Find any item by its ID, for example "Bed 221"
    • Ward and zone overview with counts per room
    • Asset register with RFID tag pairing
    • Floor plans with readers and antenna coverage on the map
    • Zebra FX7500 fixed readers through the Zebra IoT Connector (MQTT and REST)
    Retail RFID

    Store counts in one hour, not ten

    Telenor moved its store inventory to RFID together with RFID specialist Lexit Group. Each store used to spend about ten hours a month counting stock.

    10 h → 1 hper store, per month
    “Customers may not notice how we inventory, but they notice we have more staff out on the floor.”Kent Lindblom, Manager Retail Operations, Telenor

    Raptool runs RFID stock counts in your own stores the same way: the Raptool Client reads RFID tags next to barcodes, on Zebra, Honeywell, Datalogic and Newland devices.

    What it does

    Count a shelf, not every item

    Scanning one barcode at a time works. RFID changes that. A reader picks up many tags in one sweep by radio, so your team covers a shelf or a pallet in far less time.

    Raptool WMS supports RFID through the Raptool Client, and reads RFID tags from up to 15 m.

    • Read many tags in one sweep
    • No line of sight to each label
    • Less handling, less walking
    • Use RFID next to barcodes

    Where it helps

    RFID where speed matters

    Add RFID where it pays off and keep barcodes everywhere else.

    Stock counts

    Raptool WMS handles stock counts with mobile scanning, and RFID lets you count stock more often.

    Receiving at the dock

    Check a whole delivery as it arrives and compare it with what you expected.

    Store inventory

    Walk the store with a handheld reader instead of scanning every item.

    Mobile data capture

    Capture data at the source

    RFID is one way to capture data. The same Raptool app can scan barcodes, read RFID tags, take photos and print labels, so your team records everything once, where the work happens. No paper notes and no retyping.

    • Barcode scanning with built-in scanners or the camera
    • RFID reading with the device you hold
    • Photos and scans inside your app
    • Label and receipt printing on the spot

    FAQ

    RFID tracking: common questions

    What is RFID warehouse tracking?

    Each item, carton or pallet carries an RFID tag that a reader picks up by radio. A handheld reader picks up many tags in one sweep, without a line of sight to each label, so staff can cover a shelf or a pallet in far less time than scanning one barcode at a time.

    Do we have to replace our barcodes?

    No. Raptool WMS supports RFID through the Raptool Client, so your team can use it next to barcodes. Many stores and warehouses use RFID where speed matters and barcodes everywhere else.

    Which RFID readers does Raptool support?

    The Raptool Client gives your apps access to RFID readers. Raptool is a Zebra Technologies partner and also works with Honeywell, Datalogic and Newland devices on Android, iOS, Windows and Mac. Contact us to check a specific reader.

    What is mobile data capture?

    Mobile data capture means your team records data once, at the source, on a mobile device: scanning barcodes, reading RFID tags and taking photos instead of writing on paper and typing it in later. Raptool apps capture with the scanner, camera and RFID reader and work online and offline.

    Is RFID right for every item and every site?

    No. RFID is not for every item or every site. It is a strong tool where speed and accuracy matter, such as frequent stock counts and checking deliveries at the dock. Read why RFID belongs in your warehouse.
