Lockwood Technology provides turn-key asset tracking and management solutions offering companies big savings during tough times
January 29, 2009
Effectively tracking and managing fixed assets offers organizations big savings. All over the world, Lockwood Technologies customers are reaping a wide variety of benefits ranging from lower property taxes to theft prevention, while maximizing the use of their fixed assets.
The heart of Lockwood’s solution is their enterprise asset management software suite, "Asset Tracker". Asset Tracker is an all-purpose asset tracking program which has evolved to meet customer demands and interact with the latest technology since its inception 11 years ago.
The off-the-shelf product was designed to be completely customizable to meet the needs of each unique user. The system works seamlessly with Lockwood’s "QuickTrac" RFID software/hardware set. QuickTrac encompasses user friendly RFID middleware (allowing users to import/export data to and from legacy systems as well as Asset Tracker) and state of the art fixed and portable RFID hardware. Fixed RFID portals are strategically placed at "choke" points, or exits, and detect a passive RFID tag as it passes through.
The software incorporates event detection triggers, which send a notification when a predefined action occurs, such as an RFID tagged laptop leaves an area or building without authorization. The event triggers are user defined and can range from sending an email or text message, to alarming a buildings security system.
Another benefit Lockwood’s customers are seeing with the RFID enabled system is real time location of assets. The system can easily track the movement of assets as they pass through Lockwood’s fixed RFID portals and tell you exactly where the asset was last seen. This allows customers to pinpoint where specific assets are within a building. Not only can an organization monitor the movement and usage of active assets, but they can monitor the use of inactive assets, allowing them to better utilize what they already have, minimizing unnecessary purchases.
Lockwood’s tracking solution does not stop at the software/hardware implementation. Lockwood can send a team of experienced personnel to inventory and tag your assets for you. The core of a successful asset tracking system is current, accurate data. Lockwood can compile an up-to-date inventory database, reconcile it, and apply RFID, barcode, or combination RFID smart tags. The results are seamlessly integrated into the software system, and the user is now self sufficient and working with an accurate baseline.
