Real-Time RFID Telemetry & Facility Asset Visibility
Automating physical asset tracking and inventory counts with UHF RFID readers and edge middleware.
A large distribution facility containing tens of thousands of high-value tools, movable fixtures, and inventory pallets relied on manual barcode audits. Physical counts took days to complete and routinely revealed misplaced assets.
Manual barcode scanning required direct line-of-sight and physical handling of each item, making frequent cycle counts operationally prohibitive and leaving asset locations uncertain between annual audits.
Our Architectural Approach
FlipWorks architected an automated UHF RFID tracking ecosystem, combining dock door portal readers, handheld RFID wands, and edge middleware that filters stray reads and updates central databases in real time.
The Deployed Software Platform
We deployed an end-to-end RFID asset management platform that reads tagged assets automatically as they pass through facility portals and enables warehouse staff to conduct complete aisle counts in minutes using handheld sleds.
System Topology & Architecture
Hardware-to-Cloud Asset Tracking Pipeline
Passive UHF EPC Gen2 tags read by fixed portal readers and handheld scanners.
Key Architectural Highlights
LLRP reader daemon with event deduplication algorithms processing hundreds of tag reads/sec
Edge gateway filtering that eliminates false-positive stray tag reads from adjacent aisles
Mobile RFID handheld app with acoustic Geiger-counter style proximity locator for lost assets
Real-time transactional inventory sync with enterprise warehouse management systems
