Asset Inventory Management Services for WebSphere® Sensor Events provides
the means to audit all assets that are tagged with a barcode or a
passive RFID tag using an RFID handheld reader. With RFID technology
this process is fast and painless and can be used to regularly audit
all assets in a data center, not just a representative percentage
as is typical with manual auditing.
The audit process is comprised of three stages:
- Prepare the audit - Decide
on the type of audit, select the locations, zones, and assets to perform
the audit for and assign it to a handheld user
- Perform the audit - Download
the audit onto a RFID handheld reader loaded with Asset Inventory Management Services for WebSphere Sensor Events client handheld application and
scan all the assets. The handheld application provides an interactive
view which allows you to check the audit progress and make certain
decisions, such as whether an unexpected asset actually belongs to
that zone or whether a missing asset is due to a broken tag.
- Review and export -
Once the audit is complete, upload the audit results. The auditor
can review the results and update Asset Inventory Management Services for WebSphere Sensor Events records.
