Key Capabilities and Features

Vector Asset Locator installations add Location information to the stored properties of any IT asset that is RFID tagged. This information is used –
- To verify location of assets during audit.
- To know where scarce assets are currently being used.
- To detect unauthorized movement of sensitive assets.
To achieve these goals, the Vector Administrator Console is linked to the RFID vendor’s system through database synchronization and change detection. Every time an asset is confirmed in a particular location, the time and date is refreshed in the AM Console.
Any changes of location are recorded in Change History, and change notification can optionally be sent to a Vector HelpDesk or Issue Tracker installation to create an issue ticket. Escalation rules in HelpDesk or Issue Tracker can be made sensitive to the identity of the asset.
Most Asset Locator installations use a mode of RFID called ‘Dual Active’, in which the tags are powered and emit a ‘beacon’ signal at regular intervals. The beacon signal confirms the existence of the asset in a particular zone. Without this capability, location certainty is limited to the last known instance of an asset moving past a motion detection point such as a doorway.
