The trade fair and events hire sector is a fast-paced one: set-ups and dismantling in record time, equipment travelling between different cities, and clients who demand absolute precision. In this context, the traceability of cables, structures, fittings and equipment is critical.
Z Automation’s UHF RFID scanner, with an integrated scale, is the ideal solution for hire companies operating in the trade fair and events sector.
The challenges of event hire
- Extremely tight deadlines: an installation must be ready within hours, not days.
- A variety of materials: cables, electrical panels, metal structures, lighting.
- Complex logistics: transport between different sites, with a risk of loss or damage.
- Quality control: the client expects everything to be intact and in working order.
Without an automated system, checks rely on paper lists and the operators’ memory. The result? Errors, delays and disputes.
How the RFID scanner solves problems
Our scanner allows you to:
- Scan entire crates or pallets of tagged equipment in 5 seconds.
- Integrate a weighing system to check that the weight matches the count.
- Display the number of items and the result of the check on a touchscreen monitor.
- Send the data to the management system to update stock levels and availability.
- Operate even with metallic materials, thanks to high-performance RFID tags.
Applications in the events sector
- Hire of cables and electrical switchboards for event set-ups.
- Hire of structures and stages.
- Hire of lighting and sound equipment.
- Hire of furniture and exhibition stand fittings.
Competitive advantages
- Faster order fulfilment: less time in the warehouse, more time in the field.
- Zero errors: the customer receives exactly what they ordered.
- Full traceability: you know where your equipment is at all times.
- Fewer disputes: objective data on what has been delivered and returned.
- Professional image: impeccable service builds customer loyalty.

To complete the system, we also supply portable RFID readers for spot checks, updates and the management of movements directly on site or at trade fairs.
