Recently, the “Internet of Things + Assets” management model of Xichuang successfully passed the single-point acceptance of Zhejiang Tobacco Jiaxing City Company, Lishui City Company, and Wenzhou City Company, as well as the pilot acceptance of provincial companies, and will start the province in April. Promote the implementation process. After more than half a year of practice and running-in, Stron’s “Internet of Things + Assets” management model finally landed steadily in Zhejiang Tobacco and demonstrated outstanding results. So, what innovative changes have been achieved in the application of this new model?
Leap: from 25 minutes to 2 minutes
In an office, including desks and chairs, sofas, projectors, printers, copiers, drinking fountains, air conditioners, laptops and other 50 assets, how long will it take to verify all of them?
If traditional labels or barcode labels are used: check and record the asset information one by one according to the inventory, taking into account the time of finding assets, checking asset information, verifying asset information, and recording asset information. The average asset takes about 30 seconds. It takes 25 minutes in total;
In the new mode, inventory based on RFID electronic tags: Just use RFID handhelds to scan all corners of the office to automatically obtain and verify asset information. The entire process takes about 2 minutes, and the efficiency is increased by more than 10 times.
In addition to the significant improvement in inventory efficiency, the application of the new model can also achieve process monitoring, reduce maintenance costs and prevent asset loss.
Tackling key problems: How to reduce the physical management of assets into a whole
To achieve such a change is not easy. Mr. Cheng, the project manager of the Xichuang team, introduced that Zhejiang Tobacco has hundreds of thousands of assets at the city and county levels, and the types are complex, including tables and chairs, sofas, projectors, printers, copiers, drinking fountains, cultural and sports equipment, televisions, Air conditioners, laptops, electronic equipment, computer room equipment, production equipment, forklifts, etc.
How can we effectively manage this large number and variety of physical assets, so as to achieve the true consistency between the ledger and the physical objects, and at the same time track and record every process link of the asset in time, so that the source of the problem can be accurately traced when a problem occurs And defining responsibilities?
The application of the new model is to solve these problems and implement the effective management of assets in kind.
Innovation: all-round practice from point to surface
details make a difference.
“In order to make the “Internet of Things + Assets” management model have a better application effect, the Xtron team has made multi-level innovation efforts. From the label design at the source to the management level innovation, a lot of research, analysis and experimentation It is gradually formed and optimized on the basis of “Stronix” said Jin Yongbin, product director of the Xtron team.
▲Innovative label design
As the only “identity card” for each asset, RFID asset tags are the foundation and core. Therefore, in order to ensure the perception performance and efficiency of tags, assets of different materials need to be affixed with different types of RFID tags: for example, non-metallic assets need to be affixed with ordinary RFID tags, and metal assets need to be affixed with anti-metal RFID tags. In addition, in the design, the label adopts the innovative design of “four codes in one”, that is: the EPC code of the label chip is correlated with the one-dimensional code, two-dimensional code and asset code on the label surface (as shown in the figure below), forming a multiple backup mechanism , Support multiple identification methods, strong fault tolerance.
Ordinary RFID asset tag
▲Original management model
Based on the label “four codes in one” design, in actual business management, in addition to using RFID handsets to perceive asset tags to complete tasks, you can also directly use your mobile phone to scan the QR code on the surface of the asset tag, and complete related operations through the pop-up web page. This design makes the management methods diversified and more convenient to use.
▲Develop management standards
Through repeated exploration and experience summarization, the Xtron team has gradually established a set of corporate asset management standards in collaboration with Zhejiang Tobacco, so that asset business management can be standardized and standardized, and it is also conducive to label reading without affecting the aesthetics and daily use of assets. Maximize efficiency to improve the efficiency and level of asset management.
The future: taking intelligence one step further
More than that, Director Jin Yongbin said: “In the future, through the in-depth application and promotion of the new model, intelligent management methods such as real-time asset monitoring, computer room visual management, and mobile APP management will also be realized, making asset management more streamlined, traceable, and Standardization and transparency.”
▲Multiple security guarantees
By setting up RFID detection channels at key checkpoints, it can penetrate and perceive illegally carried assets at a long distance, and automatically trigger sound and light alarms. In addition, the reasonable application of active RFID tags can realize real-time monitoring of the location and status of valuable assets. Various types of assets increase multiple security guarantees.
▲Visualized management of computer room
Active label combined with electronic paper display is the exclusive product of Xichuang. On the one hand, it has the characteristics of ordinary active electronic tags, such as actively sending radio frequency signals, long transmission distance, real-time monitoring, etc. Some important information (such as temperature information around the monitoring device) can also be displayed on electronic paper, and it can also be triggered Visual and audible alarms. As a result, a comprehensive guarantee for the physical security of equipment room assets and the logical security of equipment can be achieved.
▲Mobile APP management
The planning of the QR code function in the asset tag design lays the foundation for the subsequent asset management model based on mobile phone APP scanning. That is, after the asset is purchased in the future, in the stage of putting it into use, employees can use the corresponding APP on their mobile phone to check Self-management of assets attributable to enhance employees’ awareness of self-asset management.
