External Tracking System Module – RFID

External Tracking module

Update location details automatically via RFID tags

This module connects Vernon CMS to Smarttrack RFID software. It allows location information within Vernon CMS to be updated through the Smarttrack system. Smarttrack scans RFID tags attached to objects using fixed scanners, such as doorway readers, and hand-held scanners.

The integration of Smarttrack RFID and Vernon CMS enables clients to achieve fully automated collection tracking whilst retaining all of the location information within their core collection management system, Vernon CMS.  A fully integrated system will enable collections to be tracked using either a handheld reader or fixed readers, with all location changes being automatically updated in the Vernon location file for each object. The integration has been designed to cater for working both online or offline, as many organisations have off-site stores or multiple sites that are not connected to the main network.

The use of RFID technology in museums and galleries has the potential to revolutionise the way many of these collections are managed.  Many organisations can see the obvious benefits that RFID can provide, but do not want to have to manage an RFID system as well as their CMS.  We see the integration with Vernon as a key factor in making the adoption of RFID in museums and galleries as straightforward as possible. Doug Rogan, Business Development Manager, Smarttrack

For most clients, managing the movement of collections can be a time-consuming and laborious process, with manual documentation of collection movements often updated in the CMS days or even weeks later.  The integration of Vernon CMS and Smarttrack RFID ensures that location information is constantly up to date, and removes the unnecessary burden of manual data entry for location changes.  This enables sites to achieve full visibility of their collections, thereby considerably reducing their exposure to risk, whilst also vastly improving efficiencies around collection management tasks, and streamlining audits, stock-takes and other tasks.

We believe that the use of RFID technology through integration with Smarttrack RFID provides significant benefits to our museum and gallery clients, whilst providing us with a competitive advantage over other Collection Management System providers.Paul Rowe, CEO of Vernon Systems

RFID technology at Otago Museum – 2015 update

Posted: August 17, 2015

One of the most popular articles on the Vernon Systems website (www.vernonsystems.com) has been RFID Technology in use at the Otago Museum. This was published in November 2011 and made some assumptions about the value of the technology, and the benefits that would be achieved. We decided it was time for a follow up. Has it been a success or a costly learning exercise? Has RFID tagging made objects easier to find, sped up processes and reduced the handling of
