Plug & Play RFID Starter Kit
See where every part, work order, tool, or fixture is—without manual scanning.
The ConnectIQ Plug-and-Play RFID Starter Kit gives manufacturers a fast, practical way to begin tracking work-in-progress and production assets across the shop floor.
Instead of building a complex RFID system from scratch, ConnectIQ combines preconfigured RFID hardware with a self-mapping application. Place the RFID antennas at selected workstations or production zones, map those locations in the app, bind RFID tags to your items, and begin capturing movement automatically.
What you can track
- Work orders and production parts
- Tools, fixtures, jigs, and gauges
- Material movement between workstations
- Queue time and waiting time at each process
- Current and historical item locations
Why ConnectIQ
Fast deployment
Set up your first tracking zone in minutes with your smartphones (IOS and Google Play).
Self-mapping factory layout
Create and update your own shop-floor map directly in the ConnectIQ application's (Factory IQ).
Automatic movement capture
RFID-tagged items are detected as they enter or leave configured production zones.
Real-time production visibility
See where work is accumulating, which process it has reached, and how long it has been waiting.
Scalable architecture
Start with one process or production cell, then add more readers, antennas, users, and tracking zones as required.
How it works
- Map your production areas in the ConnectIQ application.
- Install the RFID antennas at the selected tracking zones.
- Bind each RFID tag to a part, work order, tool, or asset.
- View movement, location, and queue status from the dashboard.
Starter kit includes
- ConnectIQ-enabled industrial RFID reader
- RFID antennas configured for your selected application
- Access to the ConnectIQ self-mapping 1month free trial application
- Initial remote setup and onboarding support
- Starter software access for evaluation and deployment
The final hardware configuration may vary depending on your facility layout, tracking distance, asset type, and operating environment.
Ideal for
Machine shops, contract manufacturers, assembly operations, industrial warehouses, training factories, laboratories, and manufacturers that want to digitize production tracking without replacing their existing ERP or MES.
Important information
ConnectIQ provides zone-based RFID tracking through installed readers and antennas. It is not a GPS-based continuous positioning system. RFID tags, mounting accessories, additional antennas, and enterprise integrations may be sold separately depending on the selected package.
After your order is placed, our team will contact you to confirm your intended application and recommend the appropriate RFID configuration.
