Solutions for Efficiency, Productivity, and Accountability

Grey Trunk RFID (www.greytrunkrfid.com) is asset management software for iOS and Android for tracking high value assets—what you have and where it is. The software, part of the Grey Trunk, all-in-one system which includes RFID tags and handheld readers, enables users to check in and check out tools and equipment to employees or locations using integrated Bluetooth handheld RFID readers and tags without requiring line of sight.  

How it works: BlueTooth Low Energy (BLE) Beacons are attached to assets so they can be tracked using a mobile app. Users can set return dates on tools and can set up Bulk Check In and Check Out for all tools going to the same location. It is also possible to schedule preventive maintenance for your equipment and quick fixes if needed, as well, from the mobile app.

Screen options include color-coded pie chart and graphs showing assets by status and assets by category, and can show  a variety of key metrics such as found assets, missing assets, misplaced assets, and new assets. Visual data can be segmented by location, site, or category. Users can also add custom tags, such as calibration date for tools.   

Pricing: per month or per year scaled by number of assets (e.g. 0-100, 101-300, et. In increments up through 5001-10,000). All plans feature unlimited sub users and depreciation evaluation free 30 day trial.

Grey Trunk RFID also offers an Inventory Management app, with separate fee, which includes barcode and/or RFID integrations, with real-time inventory trading and re-order levels, supplier and purchase order management, check in/check out, with scaled fee and a free 30 day trial.

Asset Snap uses AI-powered image and text recognition to turn quick photos of legacy and new machinery and equipment into structured, validated asset records, extracting and standardizing key details such as manufacturer, model, and serial number at the time of capture. Eliminating manual entry it can (notes the developer) result in potentially more trustworthy asset databases that support accurate reporting, audits, and proactive maintenance planning.

Resource planning adds AI-powered workload and scheduling recommendations and provides a single, real-time view of both scheduled and on-demand work, potentially saving hours per week on scheduling and improving predictability and capacity visibility and optimizing allocating resource and balanced workloads.
