Bulk Item Verification Before Your Next Project

Turn long check-ins and spot checks into a quick sweep — confirm what's there (and what isn't) in seconds, even without line of sight.

What is RFID in Cheqroom?

Scan Hundreds of Items at Once

RFID scanning lets you verify large volumes of tagged equipment at once, without scanning items one by one. It's built for the moments where speed matters: returns, prep days, spot checks, and audits. Unlike barcodes, it works through closed bins, stacked cases, and hidden labels.

Why teams are using RFID

RFID

Spot-Check in Seconds

Confirm a full drone kit, camera case, or equipment shelf in seconds. What used to take an hour takes one pass.

RFID Scanning No Line of Site

No Line of Sight Required

Labels hidden. Cases stacked. Gear behind a wall. RFID reads what your eyes can't, so gear status is always accurate.

RFID Spotcheck Missing Item Square

Catch Issues Instantly

Missing item? Unexpected swap? Know immediately — not when the team is already on-site asking where their gear is.

How it works

Three Components. One Fast Workflow.

RFID Tags

Apply durable, ultra-high frequency RFID tags to all your equipment for bulk scanning without line of sight.

RFID Reader

Connect the TSL 1128 scanner to the Cheqroom mobile app via Bluetooth for instant scanning.

Cheqroom's Mobile App

Scan multiple RFID-tagged items simultaneously during spot checks, reservations, check-ins or audits. Switch between RFID and standard scanning in the same workflow

💡 Pro Tip: Tag your items with both RFID and QR/Barcodes for both precision AND bulk scanning

Bulk Scanning with RFID is One Part of the Full Picture

RFID scanning is built directly into Cheqroom's Asset Operations platform, so a single scan does more than update a status. It syncs your inventory, updates reservation records, and keeps your whole team working from the same live picture. No manual data entry, no silos, no lag.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • RFID uses radio waves to identify tagged items without line of sight. In Cheqroom, RFID speeds up kit confirmations, on location spotchecks, audits, and returns so high volume teams reduce misses and manual scans.

  • No, RFID is not the same as live tracking. While RFID allows you to scan items without line of sight, it doesn't continuously track location. It is a point in time technology that verifies an item's location and status at the moment of scanning.

  • It depends on your workflow. QR codes (or barcodes) work well for most teams: they’re low cost, easy to roll out, and can be scanned with a smartphone for fast, precise check-ins and checkouts. RFID is best for high-volume operations where you need to scan many items at once without line-of-sight—ideal for fast audits, spot checks, and bulk check-ins. Cheqroom supports both, and many teams start with QR/barcodes and add RFID as they scale—often keeping QR/barcodes alongside RFID for flexibility.

  • Cheqroom supports both, but the choice depends on your workflow. Barcodes are ideal for individual item identification during manual check-outs, while RFID allows for "bulk actions"—scanning an entire kit bag in seconds without opening it. Cheqroom’s mobile app turns your smartphone into a scanner for both, ensuring data flows instantly into your inventory records.
