U-level Association between the asset module and the RFID tags

In the digital management and control of U-level assets in data centers, the key is how to realize the association between asset modules and RFID electronic tags, so that each asset has an electronic ID card.

The advantage of this connection is that no matter which machine room or rack the asset is in, the operation and maintenance personnel can find the relevant information of the asset in the background management system through the electronic ID information on the asset, including the information on and off the shelf, location migration records, etc., avoiding the embarrassment of no trace of the asset, ensuring the smooth progress of asset inventory automation, and reducing the workload of operation and maintenance business. Support automated transformation and upgrading of asset operation and maintenance management to improve the return on investment of data centers.

At present, there are mainly two kinds of technologies associated with asset modules and electronic tags: non-contact and contact.

Non-contact is through the natural phenomenon of heteropolar adsorption of magnets, as well as the principle of electromagnetic induction and RFID near field communication, to achieve the accurate reading of electronic tag information by the asset module. This technology is simple, safe, widely used, perfect supply chain, rich production materials, suitable for large-scale application.

Contact is through the metal probe, as well as the principle of EIC technology, to achieve the asset module to accurately read the electronic label information, although the effect is the same, but this is a backward technology, product reliability is poor, belongs to the non-standard product, the chip matched with EIC technology, there is also the risk of supply chain fracture.
