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.
RFID Equipment Tracking
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
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.
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.
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
Let us Show You How it Works
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.

FAQ's
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.
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.
