The rental of industrial equipment and machinery is a high-value but also high-risk business. Each item carries a significant cost, and failure to return it or damage to it can erode profit margins. Z Automation’s UHF RFID scanner, with its integrated scale, offers unprecedented control.
The challenges of industrial hire
- High value of assets: loss and damage have a significant economic impact.
- Wide range of items: machinery, tools, spare parts, components.
- Complex traceability: every item must be identified and tracked.
- Maintenance: periodic inspections, calibrations, operational checks.
The solution: an RFID scanner with a weighing function
Our scanner:
- Automatically reads all tagged items in a basket or on a pallet.
- Checks the weight using the built-in scales, cross-referencing the data with the RFID count.
- Displays the results on a touchscreen.
- Sends the data to the management system to update stock levels and status.
- Works through metal, thanks to high-performance RFID tags.
Applications in the industrial hire sector
- Heavy machinery and equipment hire.
