What Is Education Inventory Management?

Inventory management involves tracking, organising and overseeing supplies and assets. For the education sector, these can include IT equipment, from laptops and tablets to smartboards and monitors, lab and classroom equipment such as microscopes and instruments, and general furniture like tables, chairs and lockers.

Much of the inventory educational premises need to efficiently manage are of high value, and any misplacement, loss or damage can eat into tight budgets.

Using RFID technology for your school inventory management system provides real-time visibility of assets and equipment far quicker than manual processes, and provides key data to manage costs effectively and ensure resources are available for better learning.

How Does Our Education Inventory Management Software Work?

When you choose our RFID inventory management software, you get an all-in-one dashboard that provides full visibility of assets and resources. Your school resources can be identified using either handheld or fixed RFID readers, and utilise the software via a computer, tablet or smartphone. Each asset will have a tag or label assigned to it.

  1. Assign educational resources with an RFID tag or label – each piece of inventory you want to track will be assigned an RFID tag or label, which features data such as the name, location and condition. It can also feature unique data, like an assigned person or item value.
  2. Scan with RFID readers – using radio waves, readers scan and capture the data stored on the tags in real time. Fixed readers are ideal for store rooms and entry/exit points, while handheld RFID readers are most beneficial for audits and quick processing.
  3. View and manage data – using the school inventory software, data can be seen and assessed in real-time. Whether you need to know the location, the condition or who is allocated an item, the software will display it. You can also create reports and have accurate records for better budget management and compliance.

Key Benefits of RFID Inventory Management for Educational Institutions

With TEC-RFID’s solutions and services, your educational institute can gain the benefits of Radio Frequency Identification technology seamlessly.

Improved Asset Visibility And Tracking

You can scan multiple tagged assets instantly, even without direct line of sight. Inventory accuracy is also highly accurate, and can increase to 95% or higher compared to other methods. Misplaced items can be located, damaged resources can be reported on, and teachers and administrators can locate the assets they need right there and then.

Time-Efficient Solutions

Utilising RFID for your education inventory management guarantees faster, more efficient logging, stocktaking and locating. Rather than scanning individual bar codes for each asset, RFID allows you to identify vast numbers of assets in minutes. This is especially advantageous for locating items in stock rooms or checking in/out items like school library books.

Greater Budget Planning

You’ll know exactly where items are located and what condition they’re in, as well as identify which items are in high demand and which are underutilised, the data provided will assist in more efficient resource allocation and budget planning. Education facilities and administrators will be able to make better purchases based on demand and condition.

Reduced Risk of Losing Assets

Our RFID school inventory software enhances accountability, as each item can be linked to a unique ID, be it for a teacher or student. This means any misplaced or lost inventory can be traced back to who was responsible for it last. Furthermore, the risk and associated costs of making duplicate purchases are reduced.
