Why use RFID for asset management?
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) uses radio waves to identify tagged objects without needing direct contact or line of sight. In SafetyCulture, you can scan RFID tags to automatically fill the unique ID when creating assets or to instantly find them in the field. This speeds up registration, reduces manual entry errors, and ensures accurate tracking of tagged equipment across your organization. RFID is especially valuable in high-volume environments like warehouses, worksites, or depots where quick and accurate identification matters. Teams can save time, avoid duplicates, and keep asset records up to date with minimal effort.
Interacting with assets using RFID requires mobile app versions 25.24 or higher and devices running Android 8 or iOS 15 and above.
