RFID Geofencing: Realtime Alerts for Smarter, Safer Operations
FactorySense geofencing provides instant, automated alerts when assets, visitors, or employees enter or leave restricted areas—so you can take action immediately, not after the fact. With RFID readers capturing location data instantly, RFID technology is integrated with geofencing to enhance asset tracking and security across various industries.
Know What’s Happening as It Happens
With RFID readers capturing location data instantly, FactorySense geofencing ensures full visibility and control.
RFID systems work in tandem with geofencing to provide real-time monitoring and automated alerts, ensuring operational efficiency and improved security.
Traditional security measures often detect issues too late, leaving teams scrambling to respond. Geofencing technology works by using GPS, Wi-Fi, or radio frequency identification (RFID) to create virtual boundaries and monitor when an asset or person enters or exits a defined area. FactorySense geofencing changes the game with real-time location data and instant alerts—the trigger actions that occur the moment a rule is violated. Whether an asset leaves a permitted zone or a visitor enters a restricted area, you’ll know instantly and can act immediately.

Real-Time Tracking and Custom Rules for Every Asset and Visitor
FactorySense geofencing blends RFID tracking with customizable rules for unmatched control and automation.
RFID tracking with customizable rules offers powerful geofencing capabilities by integrating RFID and geofencing technologies. This allows businesses to set up virtual boundaries and automate alerts and API triggers when tagged items enter or leave designated areas. This functionality supports digital transformation goals through advanced asset management and operational efficiency.
Automatic Location Tracking
RFID readers capture precise location data for tagged assets and visitors as they move through your facility, allowing the system to track moving objects in real time.
Each asset is equipped with an RFID tag, enabling precise tracking and monitoring.
This system is used to track assets and valuable items, providing enhanced asset tracking and security within your facility.

Customizable Geofencing Rules
Set logical rules for individual assets, groups of items, or visitor badges, and define boundaries by creating a virtual perimeter or virtual boundary around a physical location.
These virtual borders or virtual geographic boundaries establish a geofenced area based on the geographical location of assets or visitors.

Visitor Badge Monitoring
FactorySense RFID visitor badges maintain security by detecting unauthorized access via RFID and triggering instant alerts, helping protect sensitive areas within facilities.
These badges provide significant value for auditability by creating a detailed, time-stamped record of visitor movements throughout the facility. Review and replay a visitor’s location path at any point, enhancing investigations and compliance efforts. Trace where a visitor has been to support security audits and help identify potential exposure to sensitive areas.
