Keep asset and inventory records organised, or improve visibility of asset locations and movements. Pacific Solution offers Asset/Inventory Management System (AMS) and RFID Asset Location Tracking as two separate software applications. We help you choose the application and functions that fit your operation.
RFID Asset, Inventory & Location Tracking in brief
Watch a short introduction to RFID Asset, Inventory & Location Tracking.
Asset/Inventory Management System (AMS)
01Register assets
02Record asset activity
03Review asset records
Illustrative sequence. Included functions depend on your agreed AMS scope.
RFID Asset Location Tracking
01Tagged asset
02Selected RFID read point
03Location or movement record
Illustrative sequence. Location information depends on the reading arrangement and project configuration.
AMS and RFID Asset Location Tracking are separate software applications. Any exchange of information between applications requires separate assessment and agreement.
Manage assets and inventory with AMS
Keep asset records organised and make everyday asset and inventory checks easier to manage. Asset/Inventory Management System (AMS) supports the management of asset information and activity. It can suit teams that need to maintain asset registers, record assignments or check-in/check-out, carry out stocktaking, and update recorded locations. The included functions are confirmed for your deployment.
Illustrative concept — equipment, interfaces and functionality are subject to the agreed project scope.
AMS functions for your operation
The following functions are available for scoping. Your quotation and agreed project scope define which functions are included in your AMS deployment.
Asset item management — add and update assets, audit changes, and manage expiry dates and extensions.
Asset movement records — record inbound and outbound asset movements.
Asset checks and stocktaking — carry out ad hoc checks, add stocktake remarks and export inventory reports.
Recorded location transfers — update an asset’s recorded location.
User management — manage system user accounts.
Asset assignment — record asset assignments.
Check-in/check-out — record asset check-in and check-out.
Optional AMS modules and services
The following options are not included automatically. They are subject to the agreed project scope and additional charges where applicable. We confirm the options and configuration in your quotation.
Asset Alert Notifications — optional buzzer, window and SMS alerts and reminders.
Reporting and Dashboard — optional reporting and views for asset expiry, movement history, detected location/time, audit history and filtering.
Cloud Hosting — optional AWS hosting and access from multiple locations.
RFID Handheld Reader System — optional data synchronisation, RFID tag association/de-association and stocktaking.
Illustrative concept — equipment, interfaces and functionality are subject to the agreed project scope.
See asset locations and movements with RFID
RFID Asset Location Tracking is a separate software application focused on RFID-based asset location and movement visibility. It can suit teams that need to review recorded activity as tagged assets pass selected read points between stores, work areas or handover points. Available information depends on the RFID reading arrangement and agreed project configuration.

Turn RFID reads into useful location records
Start with the assets you need to identify, the areas to cover and the movements your team needs to understand. We review suitable read points and agree what the resulting location and movement records will mean for your operation. Hardware, software functions and any connections are confirmed for the project.
What we review with you
Tell us what you need to manage or trace. We use these details to assess the appropriate application and project scope.
Asset or inventory records, assignment and check-in/check-out needs.
Stocktaking, expiry management and recorded location transfers.
RFID location and movement questions, site layout and required coverage.
Asset materials, tag placement, read points and movement patterns.
User accounts, reporting needs and any optional AMS modules.
Existing systems, installation, hosting and support requirements.
Understand the location information
Updating a recorded location in AMS is different from detecting an asset at an RFID read point. RFID identification alone does not provide a precise, continuously updated position. Location information depends on the installed reading arrangement, captured events and agreed configuration. Optional AMS location/time reports do not by themselves establish continuous positioning.
Evaluate the application that fits your needs
For AMS, review representative asset records and the management functions you need. For RFID Asset Location Tracking, test a representative asset group at selected read points. Agree success measures and check routine and exception cases before extending the scope. These are separate evaluations; a shared application or data connection is not assumed.
Typical applications
Track assets and inventory across different environments
RFID technology can be deployed in a wide range of settings to help you keep track of valuable items, improve visibility and streamline operations.
Hospital
Medical equipment and assets
Track high-value medical devices, wheelchairs and other assets to improve availability and reduce loss.
Warehouse
Inventory and stock items
Monitor inventory levels and asset movements in real time across your warehouse and storage areas. Illustrative scenario; real-time monitoring requires separate scope confirmation.
Factory
Tools and production assets
Keep track of tools, equipment and work-in-progress items throughout your production processes.
Office / Commercial Building
Office assets and visitor items
Track office equipment, IT assets and visitor items to improve utilisation and security.
Illustrative application scenarios. References to real-time monitoring describe a possible use case, not a standard capability of either application. Available information, update timing, coverage and functions depend on the agreed project scope and RFID reading arrangement.
Frequently asked questions
Are AMS and RFID Asset Location Tracking one application?
No. They are two separate software applications. AMS focuses on asset and inventory management; RFID Asset Location Tracking focuses on RFID-based location and movement visibility. A shared database, user interface, dashboard or platform is not assumed.
Which AMS functions are included?
The included functions are confirmed in your quotation and agreed project scope. Asset management, movement records, stocktaking, recorded location transfers, user management, asset assignment and check-in/check-out can be discussed for your deployment. The list is not a standard inclusion promise for every customer.
Does RFID always show a precise live location?
No. Location information depends on where and how RFID reads are captured and the agreed project configuration. Coverage, update timing and the meaning of each location record must be agreed. An AMS recorded location update is not continuous RFID positioning.
Are handheld readers, dashboards, cloud hosting and alerts included with AMS?
No. These are optional modules or services, subject to the agreed project scope and additional charges where applicable. Confirm the required options in your quotation.
Can either application connect to our existing system?
Tell us which application, systems and records need to exchange information. We assess interfaces, compatibility and data requirements separately. No automatic connection between AMS, RFID Asset Location Tracking or another system is included or assumed.
Do you need clearer asset records, easier stocktaking or better visibility of asset movements? Email sales@pacific-solution.com or send an enquiry. Tell us whether your priority is AMS, RFID Asset Location Tracking or a discussion of both.
Tell us what you want to improve, whether it is tracking assets, managing access or coordinating materials and workflows. We will review your needs and discuss a practical next step.
