The Problem: Many of today’s businesses are addressing the growing concern of tracking company assets to eliminate future costs of replacement. The problem with doing this on a large scale is that many times the assets are spread out throughout a large area. The company wants to track all the desks and computers at building A, but there are just as many in building B across the street that need to be in the system as well. With traditional asset tracking systems a worker would go out with a hand held computer and scan all the assets to report back to a bulky computer workstation that would need to be housed somewhere within the facility to run the asset tracking software. This takes up space that is not always available. Besides the space being an issue, the cost of a computer workstation and hand held computer can be quite high. Then there is always the printer, labels, and other accessories that are required. The cost to a company can be much more than they anticipate.

The Solution: A truly mobile asset tracking solution is now available. Using an LXE Marathon portable computer to run RedBeam Asset Tracking software takes the bulky computer workstation out of play. The LXE Marathon runs on a Windows 7 operating system and is fully capable of running the RedBeam software while also having the ability to scan the barcodes from the assets directly, effectively merging the hand held computer with the PC workstation, which will help to cut cost. If a separate USB scanner is desired then it is able to be connected to the Marathon also.

To complete the mobility solution a Zebra P4T portable barcode label printer from Zebra Technologies can be used to print the labels for the assets as needed within inches of the actual item being tagged. Because the
Zebra P4T uses thermal transfer print technology the labels printed can be as durable as you need them to be. You can print anything from paper to Polyurethane using the correct ribbon.

If a company is pushing technology to the next level and would like an RFID solution that can be managed as well. RedBeam has RFID Asset Tracking software and there is an RFID version of the Zebra P4T printer as well, the RP4T. Incorporate an RFID scanner to plug into the Marathon and all the bases are covered.

Any company getting ready to tackle the task of tracking their assets needs to take a look at a truly mobile asset tracking solution. The savings in time and money can be extremely beneficial.

    This is an interesting solution from LXE and Redbeam to be completely used mobile, if you add permanent labels by including the Zebra P4T mobile printer from Zebra Technologies.

    Nice article! RedBeam and LXE are both quality products. Putting this together is a great idea!

    One of the interesting places this tool can be used is in service delivery. Tools like Connectwise or other service delivery tools can be used with this device to get service sign off, remote access to data in the database which could enable a successful service delivery, and many other key things that tie a PC down (what used to be a laptop), and work far better than an Ipad or a PC Slate.

  4. Thanks for the reply, interesting way to use the LXE Marathon.
