School Asset Audits in Minutes with RFID
Wirelessly audit Chromebooks, laptops, tablets, AV equipment and library books with RFID. Put RFID tags on your assets and a handheld reader counts whole carts, closets and classrooms at a time — no scanning asset tags one by one. Audits, check-outs, campus transfers and finding devices all get dramatically faster.

How Schools Use Senitron RFID
Year-end device collection
When Chromebooks, laptops and tablets come back in June, scan carts and bins as they arrive and see right away which devices are still out, by student or classroom.
Fixed-asset audits for the business office
Walk each room with a handheld and get an audit-ready list of what is where — projectors, smart boards, lab equipment and furniture — instead of checking tags one by one.
Library and textbook counts
Read whole shelves and book carts at once to see what is on hand, what is checked out and what is missing.
Equipment moving between campuses
Record devices and equipment going from one school to another with a scanned transfer, and confirm them on arrival with one scan.
Tag Your Assets. Audit Like a Wizard.
Put RFID tags on your devices and equipment, then wave the handheld reader past carts, closets and shelves — it counts everything wirelessly in minutes, no scanning asset tags one by one.
- Hundreds of tags read per second, wirelessly
- No line of sight — read devices inside carts, closets and cases without opening them
- The same tags speed up check-out, check-in, campus moves and finding items
- Print and encode tags on site, or import your existing asset list
Super-Fast School Asset Audits
No more week-long end-of-year audits. Press Start and walk the classrooms, device carts, storage closets and library with a handheld RFID reader — it reads a full cart of Chromebooks at once, without opening a single slot. Upload to the Senitron dashboard, review any discrepancies, and with one click export the results to your asset system.

“Where is that Chromebook?” gets answered on the spot. Find any tagged item with the handheld’s Geiger finder — it beeps faster as you get closer — or look it up on the dashboard map.
RFID Transfers Between Campuses
Track assets moving between your campuses and classrooms wirelessly. Scan the equipment going out, choose the destination campus or room and submit — Senitron records the move and prints a packing list. At the receiving school, one scan confirms everything arrived, highlights anything missing and emails the IT team.
Audit Wirelessly. See What’s Missing Right Away.
Audit every room and cart in minutes, then compare the result with your asset list and see exactly what is missing, misplaced or never tagged.
- Missing-asset reports after every audit
- Audit by campus, room, cart or asset type
- Optional door readers alert you when equipment leaves the building
- Every school in the district visible from one dashboard
Chromebook Carts, Loaner Devices and Library & AV Check-Out
School devices change hands every day. Senitron RFID check-out and check-in puts every Chromebook, loaner and AV kit on record against a student or staff member, so school district IT teams and librarians know who has what long before the end-of-year audit.
- Loaner Chromebooks and hotspots: pick the student or scan their RFID badge, scan the loaner, and it is recorded against them with the date and time.
- Returns with chargers: set how many parts belong to a device (laptop and charger, camera and lens) so check-in confirms the whole kit came back.
- Damage at return: record a cracked screen or missing key with an issue type and a note while the device is checked in.
- Library and AV check-out: projectors, document cameras, cameras and book sets checked out to teachers, with a full history for every serial number.
- Answers for the business office: search check-out history by student, device or date when a device needs to be accounted for.
School RFID Asset Tracking: Common Questions
How long does a device audit take with RFID?
Minutes. A handheld RFID reader reads hundreds of tags per second without line of sight, so a full cart of Chromebooks, a storage closet or a whole classroom is audited in seconds.
What can a school track with RFID?
Chromebooks, laptops, tablets, projectors and AV equipment, science and athletic equipment, musical instruments and library books.
Can we find devices that went missing?
Yes. Every audit shows exactly which assets are missing and where each one was last seen, and the Geiger finder beeps faster as you get closer to a tagged item.
Does it work across multiple campuses?
Yes. Every school in the district is visible from one dashboard, and moving equipment between campuses is recorded with one scan.
Can students and teachers check out devices with RFID?
Yes. Staff pick the student or teacher on the handheld, or scan their RFID badge, then scan the Chromebook, hotspot or AV kit. Senitron records each item against that person with the date and time.
Can we record damaged or incomplete device returns?
Yes. At check-in, staff mark a cracked screen or a missing charger with an issue type and a note, and devices can be set up with their parts so a kit is only complete when every part is back.
Does RFID work for library and AV equipment check-out?
Yes. Library book sets, projectors, document cameras and AV kits are checked out and back in by scan, with a searchable history by person, item or date.
What does it cost, and is there a guarantee?
Software with seven-days-a-week support runs $200 to $500+ per location per month depending on your setup, month to month with no contract. One-time hardware: handheld scanners $1,550 to $3,500, printers $2,000 to $3,500, loss-prevention systems from $2,500, and labels $75 to $110 per roll of 1,000. Multi-location discounts, a price-match guarantee (we match or beat any comparable quote, apples to apples) and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
How quickly can we get started?
Setup and training take about 2-4 hours, done remotely by our US-based team, and hardware usually arrives within days, so most sites are tracking with RFID within a week. Training sessions are recorded and support is unlimited.
