RFID vs. Barcode for Asset Tracking and Evidence Management – Which is Better?

Why is the digital tracking of assets, inventory, and evidence such a hot topic right now? It’s because of the timesaving and game-changing benefits it brings to those in public safety. But there are two options, RFID and Barcode technology. Is one better than the other?

Join Zebra Technologies and FileOnQ to explore best practices in using technology to manage assets, inventory, and evidence. Hear how digital tracking technologies can help fire agencies spend less time on managing assets, and frees up personnel to spend more time on training, emergency readiness and serving the community. Learn how it can help police agencies improve their evidence management process by providing an airtight chain of custody, complete accountability, and intelligent purging.

We’ll discuss real-life examples of agencies that have benefitted from leveraging the strengths of RFID and barcode technology, such as:

• A Fire District in Florida that cut the time spent on inventorying assets by over 95%, and recouped costs of up to 50% by better tracking medication’s expiration dates.
• A large Police Agency in TX went from 4 people taking 7 hours every day to process incoming evidence, to 2 people taking only 90 minutes a day to do the same tasks, a savings of 125 hours per week.
