How does Nox track my assets?

Nox is a next generation asset tracking system.

Nox uses RFID (Radio Frequency ID) tags to monitor asset (people, PC’s, and other property)

movement and link the asset movement to video. Using Nox, you can search for any asset and

retrieve instant video and time of the entire asset movement through the facility. You can also

locate the current location and watch assets in real-time.

Nox works via a standard web browser and on iPhones. Nox provides 24x7 unattended asset

surveillance, and maintains a complete history of your asset movement that can be accessed

from anywhere in the world.

Concept

Aspects specific to each project are included in each individual quote. This includes tag sizes and

supported asset types. This concept provides a general overview of what is included.

• 1. Assets will be tagged with RFID chips. The exact size of the chips is custom to each quote, but typically, they are 4”x1”. These RFID chips can also have human readable/printed information and will be self-adhesive labels. These labels will come on rolls of approximately 1,000 labels. RFID labels will be loaded into an RFID printer and the RFID chips will be programmed and human readable information will be printed on the labels. The RFID Printer can be integrated with an inventory management system (IMS) and the IMS will be able to associate a product (e.g. PC / item for repair / person) with an 24-Digit (Hex) RFID tag ID.

  2. Each RFID ‘read point’ or zone is a specific area to be tracked. Typically, a read point is a doorway or loading dock. However, it may also be a room up to 1600 sq ft. Rooms over 1600 sq ft require additional read-point modules to track assets.

  3. All RFID tag reads will be stored in an MS SQL Server database.

  4. Video is retained based on disk space provided, approximately 800GB per camera per month. This is highly variable based on the amount of movement in that camera zone, frame rate stored, and resolution selected.

  5. Assets may be located by searching on an asset ID and the asset can be viewed on a web browser. The asset will show every location the asset has been seen, a time it was seen, and a video link to the all video events. Asset movement may also be accessed programmatically via an XML API.
