ODIN Releases Intelligent Asset Management Software for RFID

ODIN announced the formal release of Intelligent Asset Management (I AM) software for tracking IT assets in the data center or office environment. The software is designed to easily integrate with existing enterprise asset management (EAM) solutions such as Sunflower Systems, BMC Remedy, IBM Maximo, Oracle, HP Asset Manger, Savi SmartChain and others.

I AM enables faster and more accurate asset audits, significantly reduces inventory costs and ensures a higher security environment. Studies have shown that taking asset inventories with RFID in data centers, secure storage, and office locations is more than five times faster than bar code methods. In addition to the time savings, Gartner Group estimates most organizations have a 30% discrepancy between expected asset inventory and actual asset inventory due to poor asset management and manual systems, and RFID can mitigate that 30% loss.

“ODIN’s goal is to ensure RFID solutions are both accurate and easy to use. In our past deployments we could reliably ensure RFID system accuracy, but found our customers struggling with integrating RFID into their physical asset management and security processes. ODIN developed I AM so end users would finally have an easy-to-use RFID asset tracking solution that can augment traditional enterprise asset management software or operate stand-alone,” commented ODIN’s founder, Patrick J. Sweeney II. “ODIN’s customers are excited about I AM because it installs quickly and allows them to inventory assets in hours instead of weeks.”

“I AM is the logical extension of EasyEdge RFID device management software,” John Kelvie, ODIN’s head of software development, commented. “Since we already had a robust RFID device control software platform, adding integration and application functionality so end users could more easily track their assets with RFID, solved a recurring customer need. We were also fortunate to have some great initial customers with tough usability and integration requirements. This helped us really focus on building for scalability from the beginning.”
