RFID services for start-to-finish asset management success
RFID services are essential for successful data collections and asset management. Lowry Solutions offers a comprehensive collection of RFID services to ensure organizations have streamlined operations from RFID tag selection and placement services, site readiness and installation to custom training and project management to staging.
RFID Site Readiness Assessment
Even with standards, no data collection technology implementation is truly plug-and-play. Your environment is unique in its physical setting, technology infrastructure, hardware, product flow, and other considerations.
A necessary component of any successful RFID implementation is a comprehensive Site Readiness Assessment. Our experts work with your team to document all aspects of your business process including product flow and routing, product touch points, data flow, and infrastructure. In addition, the facility is surveyed for potential physical barriers and potential radio frequency (RF) trouble spots.|
RFID Site Preparation & Installation
Site installation is a crucial component to RFID services—and taking time to thoroughly prepare makes all the difference. Lowry installation specialists conduct customized site preparation prior to equipment installation, readying wiring, communication interfaces, and logistics.
Lowry Specialists provide on-site assistance in network cabling, software installation, startup, host connection, terminal and network configuration, testing and documentation of the wireless network.

RFID tag selection and placement services
Before engaging in the effort to tag your items, the workflow, information needs, user requirements and business processes associated with the items you wish to tag need to be considered. In spite of the numerous RFID tag and inlay options available today, tagging items remains as one of the most significant challenges to implementing a successful RFID system.
We can help you select the tag that will survive in your physical environment while delivering the required performance to meet your business needs. After the tag is selected, Lowry can evaluate the items to be tagged and recommend a placement for achieving maximum performance of the RFID system.|Site Readiness Assessment RFID services are the basis for the system design and implementation plan and include:
