Solving the Pain Points of Year-End Asset Inventory! Haikang Bori Accelerates State-owned Enterprise Asset Management

First, it is essential to understand what RFID UHF is.

RFID UHF operates in the frequency band of 860-960MHz, with an identification range of 0.5 to 40 meters, enabling the simultaneous and rapid reading of dozens or even hundreds of tags. Even when assets are blocked or stacked, signals can be accurately captured.

Choosing RFID UHF technology is the key to breaking the deadlock in SOE asset management. Compared with low-frequency and high-frequency RFID, UHF technology has three core advantages in SOE scenarios:

Long-distance identification: It can achieve long-distance identification of over 10 meters at maximum, eliminating the need for staff to physically contact assets at close range. Whether it is materials on the top of shelves or operating production equipment, identification can be easily completed.

Multi-tag reading: It supports simultaneous reading of multiple tags, with a single device capable of identifying hundreds of tags per second. This completely replaces the manual item-by-item verification mode, increasing inventory efficiency by dozens of times.

Fast and stable identification: It has strong anti-interference capabilities and can work stably in complex industrial environments with dust, oil pollution, metals, etc., perfectly adapting to diverse scenarios such as SOE production workshops and warehouses.

Under the traditional asset management model, staff have to "chase after assets", while UHF RFID enables assets to "proactively report their positions and statuses"—this is the core logic behind solving the pain points of large-scale asset management. Most enterprises have a misconception that RFID UHF asset management systems are "complex to build and high in investment costs". In fact, the core logic of the system lies in the collaborative implementation of "hardware + software + processes", and rapid deployment can be achieved by following these three steps:

1. Hardware is the core carrier of data collection, consisting of three key types of equipment: RFID tags, readers, and antennas. Appropriate selection is crucial for system implementation:

RFID UHF tags: Acting as the "electronic ID cards" of assets, they need to be customized according to asset attributes—anti-metal tags for metal assets (machine tools, instruments, etc.), industrial-grade waterproof and sunproof tags for outdoor assets (logistics turnover boxes, etc.), and ultra-thin adhesive tags for small assets (laptops, etc.). Tags can store core information such as asset numbers, purchase time, and responsible persons, support repeated erasing and writing, and have a service life of 3-5 years.

Readers: Divided into fixed and handheld types—fixed readers are deployed at warehouse/workshop entrances and exits to automatically record asset inbound and outbound; handheld terminals are used for inventory and inspection scenarios, allowing staff to collect data on the move and complete data aggregation, replacing the traditional item-by-item scanning mode.

Antennas: Used in conjunction with readers—fixed readers are paired with directional antennas (for accurate identification of designated channels), and handheld terminals with omnidirectional antennas (to expand the identification range), ensuring full signal coverage.

2. Software serves as the "central brain" of the system, undertaking data processing, analysis, and display functions. It must realize full-process asset management with four core standard modules:

Asset file management: Enter basic asset information and associate it with RFID tag IDs to establish a "one asset, one code" electronic file, enabling traceability of the entire life cycle data of assets.

Real-time tracking module: Based on signals collected by fixed readers, the real-time location of assets is displayed on the system's visual map, greatly improving asset search efficiency.

Inventory and inspection module: Data collected by handheld terminals is automatically synchronized to the system, generating inventory reports and automatically highlighting assets with discrepancies between books and physical items; during inspections, asset status can be directly recorded on the terminal, avoiding missed or false inspections.

Early warning module: Automatically triggers reminders for scenarios such as overdue asset return, maintenance expiration, and abnormal tags, realizing the shift from "passive management" to "active early warning".

Current mainstream software supports cloud deployment, eliminating the need for enterprises to build their own servers and allowing login from multiple terminals (mobile phones/computers), lowering the threshold for small and medium-sized enterprises to use the system.

3. The effectiveness of hardware and software relies on the optimization of supporting management processes, integrating RFID technology into the entire life cycle management of assets:

Warehousing: After asset procurement, labeling and file entry are completed; fixed readers automatically complete warehousing registration and assign storage locations.

Usage: When assets are borrowed/returned, handheld terminals scan tags to record the handler and time, and the system automatically updates asset status.

Inventory: Regular "site scanning" is conducted with handheld terminals, and the system automatically compares data and generates inventory reports.

Scrapping: Asset scrapping status is marked in the system, and tags can be recycled and reused.

Haikang Bori has deeply integrated UHF RFID technology with the asset management needs of SOEs. In terms of labor cost control, after a manufacturing SOE introduced the solution, the annual inventory that originally required 20 people to complete in 15 days can now be finished by 3 people in 2 days, reducing inventory labor costs by over 80%. More importantly, through the binding of RFID tags and assets, the solution realizes dynamic tracking of the entire life cycle of assets. Every change—from procurement and warehousing, issuance and circulation, to maintenance and scrapping—is synchronized to the management system in real time, completely solving the problem of "discrepancies between books and physical assets".
