How does RFID work?

The magic of RFID starts with the labels (”RFID” “Radio Frequency Identification”). On the surface the labels look and feel like normal labels, but inside there is a super small RFID chip that can be read wirelessly with RFID readers from distances of up to 60 feet.

The best part about using RFID technology is that you don’t have to change any of your existing processes. You can continue to print labels out of Heartland POS as you do now, and the newly printed inventory labels are now RFID labels.

Simply replace your non-RFID labels and printer with RFID labels and printer, and you are ready for the magic of RFID.

RFID Benefits

Super-Fast & Accurate Inventory

Once you switch to RFID, doing inventory becomes easy. You no longer have to shut down and get a crew of 10 people to do inventory; instead, do inventory as often as desired. Click the Start button, and scan in your inventory wirelessly with your mobile handheld RFID scanner for 30 minutes to a few hours. Then, push a button to upload to your Senitron RFID inventory dashboard, compare, inspect, and address any discrepancies, and with a push of a button push your inventory into Heartland POS to correct Heartland’s quantities.

RFID Transfer-Slips

Creating transfer-slips between locations in Heartland POS is now made super easy and fast with RFID technology. Simply scan-in inventory wirelessly with your mobile handheld RFID scanner, select the destination location and submit. Senitron’s RFID software automatically creates the transfer-slip for you in Heartland POS and allows you to print a transfer packing-list. In the destination location, the receiver uses a mobile handheld RFID scanner to pull up the transfer slip, and within seconds receives and validates the received goods, quickly highlights any missing items, and emails management if anything is missing. (Available in standard edition)

Theft / Unauthorized Alerts!

The Senitron RFID solution is 100% compatible with Fixed RFID readers; you can install Fixed RFID readers at entrance / exit points to monitor incoming and outgoing inventory, and additionally receive SMS / Email / Audio alerts if inventory leaves the premises that should not have. (For example, if an item is sold on the POS, it would be white listed to not set off an alert.) (Available in standard edition).

Hands-Free Inventory & Movement Detection & Logging

Fixed RFID readers can be deployed in various areas, and especially choke points to automatically detect, track, and log inventory locations. For example, in a retail or warehouse use case, the system would automatically know if the items were in the backstock or the sales floor, or warehouse 1 or warehouse 2. Additionally Fixed RFID readers can be installed in various areas, to repeatedly read inventory real-time all the time, and log asset movement. e.g., log “movement sales floor > backstock 2/1/2021 5:25pm” (Available in standard edition).

RFID labeling made easy!

“We make RFID Printing and labeling you inventory easy”

Once you receive your RFID hardware, and labels, we schedule a 1–2-hour session with you, and give you access to the software, configure & test & validate your RFID printing, and give the green light to start printing RFID labels for your existing inventory, as well as new inventory. Of course, our solution supports multiple methods of printing RFID labels, such as printing labels directly from Heartland, or the Senitron dashboard, bulk printing, or the mobile hand-held scan-to-print module.
