In order to improve visibility, monitoring, and protection for high-value properties in the field and in workplaces, the civil engineering and surveying company DRMP uses RFID technologies.
The company assisted government clients through technologies for civil utilities, mechanical design, research and planning, building networks, ecological tools, geographic information systems (GIS), and subsurface utility research and development are planned and implemented through service branches. As DRMP signs agreements with more service providers, it expands but becomes increasingly scattered in its stock of field assets.
DRMP can take inventory of tools quicker by increasing asset management systems with RFID technologies and cloud-based asset management software framework, hence also increase insight into accounting assets, and find potential ways to scale its work. Asset management allowed by RFID lets project managers ensure that we have the right resources in the field to carry out big projects on schedule and within budget.
Assets Monitoring in the Field
A wide range of government programs is coordinated by DRMP, like flying drones over a storm disaster area, evaluating damage for a state agency, and scanning a road project with 3D LiDAR. In the field, each of these projects involves complex and costly equipment. Project leaders needed a simpler way because they are too geographically distributed, to monitor all the resources needed to complete a task.
Those assets may be delegated to a person with an estimated return date and asset assignment-related notes. In the inside of the archive, asset documents also contain system images, serial number images, activation dates, other asset-specific details, and additional flexible areas. Project leaders may restore or repair equipment easily with the data in the event that a specialist tool is damaged or destroyed in the field.
Flexible and Mobile Asset Tracking
To conclude manual inventory checks, the civil construction firm uses its RFD tags in combination with Android tablets or Android cell phones using a cloud-based Asset Management network. The organization is able to finish tasks more efficiently with fewer inventory challenges by actually adding RFID technologies to asset management. Early findings have shown that much greater benefits can be given by enhancing RFID use.
In the field, the company is also contemplating introducing fixed RFID tag readers. Project leaders can gather continuous visibility into inventory for all programs by installing fixed readers.
Achieved Results
- RFID technology enhances protection and reliability for field assets and equipment.
- It improves management with centralized transparency of high-value inventory while also enable auditing practices and detects inaccuracies in documents.
- At the same time offers opportunities to simplify and optimize asset management to best support clients
- There is also an opportunity for the organization to introduce RFID print technology in addition to fixed readers to better integrate its asset management operations.
- This construction firm can further simplify operations to reduce operating costs and best satisfy consumer demands for everything from label printing to field monitoring and stock management provided in a single package of management solutions.
