Asset Example

Asset Commissioning & Mapping Example

Shown below is an example of mapping multiple tags to a common Asset ID in one operation. This is done where more that one tag is required to be adhered to the asset in order to be accurately scanned from all sides (e.g. left, right, top) when moving at a rapid pace through read zones in a factory environment. Because all the tags will have the same EPC (Tag ID), scanning any tag will point to the same Asset Identifier. In this example Scripting text has been put into the settings to provide workflow instructions to the user to ensure consistency as this is a repetitive operation.

	Tag Reader ID
	A dropdown of all Physical Reader defined in the Reader Management module

	Asset ID
	Enter the Asset ID to be mapped. The must have been setup previously in the TagNet Repository.

	Read
	Reads any tags in the antenna field of the chosen Reader and displays them in list. This step is highly recommended in knowing exactly what tags could be potentially written to/processed.

	Commission/Map
	Reads any tags in the antenna field of the chosen Reader, overwrites the EPC of the tag(s) with a common Tag ID and associates those with the entered Asset ID

	UnMapped Tag
	Shows the occurrence of all tags in the read zone that will be processed

After Update

Shown below is the results after processing the tags using the [Commission/Map] button from above. Note: even though only one entry is shown in the list there are actually (3) tags that were mapped. However, because they all share the same EPC, they show up as a single occurrence.

	Mapped Counter
	The resulting attributes of the Mapped Tag
