RFID enables AI Academy to achieve faster, more
accurate asset tagging and management of its training equipment
Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:
ZBRA), an innovator at the edge of the enterprise with solutions and partners
that enable businesses to gain a performance edge, today announced that Maikubo
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Academy has adopted Zebra’s RFID solutions to
achieve faster, more accurate asset tagging and management of its training
equipment, which has saved staff time, improved accuracy and visibility along
with enhanced staff efficiency.
Maikubo is an institute of integrated education that
provides AI training along with a technology incubator and teaching mode
products. Led by AI experts, IT academics and professionals from leading
organizations, Maikubo integrates academic research with industry experience to
further enhance AI technology.
Maikubo’s staff previously managed its assets manually to
track status updates and audit training equipment. The manual process was labor
intensive, time-consuming and prone to human errors. The
deployment of Zebra’s ZT400 series RFID Printer and MC3190-Z
UHF RFID reader helped Maikubo to significantly reduce the mistakes made and the time spent on asset
tracking. This allows the academy to re-deploy more of their staff’s time to
focus on educational activities.
Maikubo
worked with Zebra PartnerConnect channel partner, Qianyu
Info-Tech Co. which provided overall support from the preliminary research to
identify the right solution to the technology deployment.
“The unique ability of the ZT400 series RFID printer to
print on metallic surfaces enables us to print thicker RFID tags faster, while
maintaining RFID reader performance,” said Deep
Agarwal, Regional
Sales Director, Zebra Technologies .“Compared
to traditional asset tags, RFID tags allow changes to be made to the data
stored on the labels, which makes tagging more flexible and hassle-free.”
“The MC3190-Z
UHF RFID reader improves our asset auditing efficiency by reducing the time
required to audit our training equipment. For instance, the auditing of about
1,000 units of our training equipment which would have required about 20 staff
members can now be completed by just one person when equipped with the right
tools,” added Deep.
Zebra’s MC3190-Z UHF RFID reader
features an advanced, highly efficient RFID reader engine for faster read rates
and higher throughput. Its design offers high versatility for faster, more
accurate reads. The pairing of the two RFID-enabled devices has empowered
Maikubo with increased visibility and accuracy to manage its assets.
“The
augmentation of staff with RFID-enabled devices will continue to trend upward.
RFID is a powerful tool that converts physical materials into digital assets
that are easy to track in a facility in real time,” said Winston Wu, RFID
Specialist, Zebra Technologies Greater China. “Organizations like Maikubo can
use RFID to capture, move and manage critical information to and from every
point of their business activity for maximum visibility into their enterprise
assets, while improving efficiency and accuracy at the same time.”
