How do I use RFID technology in WeighSoft for Trade Waste management?
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology can be effectively used in WeighSoft for managing Trade Waste. This guide explains how to enter RFID numbers, configure the system, and ensure proper usage.
Overview of RFID Technology in WeighSoft
RFID technology streamlines waste management by associating RFID chips with bins. These chips are scanned during service to record bin information automatically. This process requires manual configuration and data entry to ensure accurate tracking and integration with WeighSoft.
Steps to Enter RFID Numbers in WeighSoft
You can add or edit RFID numbers in WeighSoft using the following methods:
Through the Trade Module: - Open the Trade module. - Select the relevant Contract. - Open the Contract Item and navigate to the Bin page. - Click "Edit" and enter the RFID number in the RFID field.
Through the Address Module: - Navigate to the Address section. - Select "Bin" and either add a new bin or edit an existing one. - Enter the RFID number in the RFID field.
Automated process: - Go to Settings>Trade>Mobile and enable the setting "Mobile Allocate bin Lift RFID". if the bin has an RFID chip in place then the system will scan it and automatically assign that number to the bin in Weighsoft for future reference
Configuration and Process for Using RFID Chips
To use RFID chips with WeighSoft, follow these steps:
Attach an RFID chip to each bin.
Mount an RFID reader on the truck.
During service, the driver selects the job on their tablet.
When the bin is lifted, the RFID reader scans the chip and records its ID as the bin number in the job.
Ensure that the correct chip numbers are manually entered into WeighSoft and that bins are correctly associated with their respective locations.
Key Considerations and Best Practices
Manual Data Entry: Ensure that RFID numbers are accurately entered into WeighSoft to avoid errors in bin tracking.
Bin Association: Verify that each bin is correctly linked to its location in the system.
Hardware Setup: Regularly check the RFID reader and chips for proper functionality.
By following these steps and best practices, you can effectively integrate RFID technology into your Trade Waste management processes in WeighSoft.
