RFID asset tracking in a hotel or health club

“Asset tracking” maximizes staff and equipment output through accurately locating and redeploying existing equipment, limiting the need to buy new equipment, reducing labor costs, improving profits and increasing guest satisfaction by making sure in-room equipment is working.

For a hotel to operate efficiently, staff must be able to locate and access all equipment when the need arises. This can extend from situations whereby electronic equipment used for guest check-ins becomes faulty. By having visibility over all of the assets within a hotel, managers are able to rapidly identify replacement assets to limit staff downtime.

Today, there are two primary technologies that can be used for asset tracking in the hotel sector: barcode technology and RFID.

Using barcode technology, hotel managers can minimize time spent monitoring the location and status of assets within one venue or across multiple sites to pool high-value assets. The value of the barcode combined with RFID lies in its accuracy and efficiency. It is an incredibly robust, reliable technology that costs virtually cents to produce and yields high returns on investment. Coupling barcode technology with  RFID, a leading asset tracking system enables organizations to accurately identify fixed and portable assets, from hotel-owned vehicles, entertainment equipment and IT equipment. In a Golf resort RFID is used to track carts and equipment.

An RFID tag is applied to each asset of value in the rooms. A reader may be located in the hall by the elevator. If an item is removed from the room security is instantly notified. This same technology may be used for loss prevention relating to towels in a hotel or health club.
