Asset Management The challenge: Cost-effective maintenance of accurate asset records. Federal, state, county, and municipal government agencies are responsible for wide variety of assets - from office supplies, fleets of vehicles, and wastewater equipment to munitions, laboratory specimens, and nuclear fuel. Keeping track of these assets is required to ensure timely maintenance and to meet accounting and compliance requirements. But tracking so many varied assets brings a lot of challenges: their geographic dispersal, inaccessibility, difficulty with location, and vastly different description requirements, not to mention the sheer time and expense of getting workers to the assets and completing the required paperwork. The opportunity for data errors is high, as is the cost of errors: for example, if routine maintenance is not performed on critical equipment in a water treatment plant, tap water quality could be affected, putting public health at risk. The solution: Automating data capture with mobile computing. UÊ Since workers are often mobile while auditing assets and reviewing inventory, Motorola's mobile computers are a natural choice. UÊ Instead of handwriting data on a paper form, workers scan the bar code or RFID (radio frequency identification) tag on an item - and the form is auto-populated with the right data set. UÊ Information can be quickly and easily captured - complete with a photograph to document asset condition. UÊ Instead of transferring the information from the form into a computer, the press of a button can transmit the data on the electronic form directly into back end systems. The automated capture of asset data dramatically reduces errors. UÊ In the warehouse, a mobile computer can be used to scan incoming shipments and take periodic inventories. UÊ Fleets of vehicles can be managed with RFID tags or barcodes, eliminating paperwork; or use GPS to provide real-time visibility and improve utilization.
