How Manufacturers Use RedBeam

Automate visibility across operations

Relying on manual processes to track all the assets, inventory, and workers moving through your facilities is a hugely inefficient challenge. It can also leave you open to significant security risks. RedBeam RFID automates monitoring for you – improving both productivity and workplace safety.
  • Find equipment faster – Use RFID to instantly locate tools, parts, and materials across your facility.
  • Track WIP – Give your MRP/ERP visibility into what stage your WIP is in in the manufacturing process.  
  • Monitor restricted zones – Assign RFID-enabled badges to employees and visitors to control access to sensitive areas.
  • Trigger event-based workflows – Automatically alert teams when certain tagged items move, go missing, or need attention.

Keep tools ready & accounted for

When equipment goes missing or unexpectedly needs maintenance, operations can grind to a halt. RedBeam’s factory asset tracking software helps you manage and maintain visibility of your most critical tools – and avoid costly production delays.
  • Locate assets instantly – Track tools, machines, and mobile equipment easily and accurately using barcodes and RFID.
  • Ensure equipment readiness – Document service maintenance  activities and capture equipment pictures to keep machines running at peak performance and reduce downtime.
  • Increase accountability – Use RedBeam’s check-in/check-out feature and automated logs to track equipment usage and reduce the risk of loss or theft.

Implement smart inventory control

The line between stockouts and over-ordering supplies can be difficult to balance. Swinging too far in either direction can disrupt productivity and inflate costs. RedBeam Inventory Tracking helps you manage raw materials and spare parts with real-time accuracy, so all your supplies are ready when needed.
  • Track raw materials and finished goods – Monitor inventory levels from receiving to production and storage.
  • Minimize waste – Track lot numbers, serials, and expiration dates for better quality control. 
  • Automate replenishment – Maintain visibility of low stock levels and trigger alerts to replenish inventories at just the right time.

Industrial Asset Tracking FAQs

What types of manufacturing assets can RedBeam track?

RedBeam can track everything from fixed machinery and CNC tools to handheld devices, mobile equipment, raw materials, and WIP inventory. You can use barcodes or RFID depending on your workflow needs.

Can RedBeam help us track asset depreciation or valuation for financial reporting?
While RedBeam is not an accounting system, it can capture purchase dates, original cost, and custom data fields like book or market value. This gives your finance team better insight into asset lifecycles and helps support capital planning or end-of-life replacements.
How does RedBeam support seasonal or shift-based operations?
RedBeam lets you track who’s using assets, when, and where – which makes it easy to manage assets across rotating shifts, seasonal upticks in production, or contractors. You can assign assets to specific users or or let workers use RedBeam for self-checkouts, which also improves individual accountability.
Can RedBeam be used in harsh industrial environments?
Absolutely. Many of our customers operate in heavy manufacturing and outdoor environments. Our mobile tracking tools and RFID tags are built to handle dust, vibration, moisture, and even high heat, depending on your tag selection.
What kind of support and training does RedBeam offer?
RedBeam provides onboarding, a self-guided Knowledgebase, and ongoing support for all customers with active licenses. We’re here to help your team make the most of the system, which can scale with you as your needs evolve.
