RFID can enable an organization to track and manage documents in environments where documents that are permanently or temporarily lost could have real consequences such as case records at a law office, patient records in a hospital, or records in a government office.
Automated RFID document tracking systems offer substantial savings to organizations by decreasing the time wasted looking for lost documents and minimizing the legal costs related to losing documents.
A smart label with a unique RFID tag is applied to each document, employees are issued RFID ID badges, and RFID readers and antennae are placed at the entrances and exits of the file rooms. Documents are automatically checked in and out when the documents and employee cross the read points when the RFID tag on the document is associated with the employee RFID.
Staff can use handheld readers to perform inventory quickly and accurately on the fly as well as search for missing documents using the handheld reader as a Geiger counter. Enter the document ID(s) and wave the readers through the document storage area’s cabinets or shelves and wait as the RFID tag broadcast its location increasing in strength the closer the handheld becomes. Users can look up the documents current status, last known location, and check in and check out and location history through a web based application.
