Search for assets using RFID

Learn how to quickly find assets in the field using RFID tags via the mobile app.

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.

Make sure your Zebra scanner is connected via Bluetooth and your mobile device is online before scanning RFID tags.

Preguntas frecuentes

If you're having trouble connecting your Zebra scanner, try the following tips:

  • Ensure Bluetooth permission is allowed for the SafetyCulture app in your device settings.

  • Turn on Bluetooth and make sure the scanner is discoverable in your mobile device’s settings.

  • Check if the scanner is already paired with another device.

  • Make sure the scanner is set to use its RFID reader, not barcode scanner.

Use a supported Zebra scanner with the SafetyCulture mobile app to scan an RFID tag and set it as the asset’s unique ID during creation or editing.

The SafetyCulture mobile app reads all nearby RFID tags and shows a list of matched assets. If a tag isn’t linked, it won’t appear in the results. You can filter the list to view detected or undetected assets, which helps verify ones that are present in the field.
