Asset ID Traq works with embedded radio-based identification tags. The system allows users to read from and write to RFID tags that come embedded inside select IBM desktop and Thinkpad computers.
Tags are also available for attachment to other high-value assets.
Embedded Asset ID tags from IBM come preloaded with information about the PC and its configuration, and can also be loaded with information about the assigned user, warranty, and lease status, and other important asset management information. Loaded prior to shipment, rapid access to configuration and identification data speeds deployment, inventory and maintenance of tagged PCs. To use the tags, software and hardware that can read and write the tags, as well as collect and manage the data is required. Quetel Asset ID TraQ comes in. QueTel, sells the complete system in one standard package.
