Auto ID Solutions
Leveraging RFID, Barcode, Vision & more for real-time visibility
Gain real-time visibility and control over your critical resources with TrackSTAR, ARS's comprehensive turnkey Auto ID solution. By leveraging the optimal technology for your application (RFID, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Vision), TrackSTAR identifies, tracks, and manages assets or personnel, delivering actionable data tailored to empower each business unit and drive operational improvements.
The TrackSTAR system utilizes strategically designed read zones, equipped with appropriate readers and antennas, to capture data from tagged items as they move through your workflow. This data is securely relayed to the central TrackSTAR server via your existing network infrastructure (Ethernet or Wi-Fi).
The server environment intelligently transforms raw reads into meaningful information through sophisticated aggregation, filtering, and parsing. Insights are then presented via intuitive dashboards or fed directly into core business systems (ERP, WMS, etc.) through reliable, continuously operating data pipelines.
Ensuring dependable performance, TrackSTAR incorporates vital enterprise-grade features, including continuous system monitoring, automated failover capabilities, regular data backups, multi-layered security, and comprehensive configuration and logging tools.
