RDStream • Customer ExplainerRDStream is Trakaid's automated UHF RFID asset tracking solution. It replaces manual scans and paper logs with a continuous, automated data feed. You tag your assets once. The system tracks every move from then on — even if your network goes down.
RDStream is built for IT asset rooms, data centers, warehouses, labs, and any facility where things move through gates and doors. It runs as a lightweight service on a single host per site (Windows Server 2019/2022 or Ubuntu 22.04 LTS) and supports Zebra, Impinj, Chainway, and any LLRP-compliant UHF RFID reader out of the box.
RDStream • Customer ExplainerMost asset tracking still runs on spreadsheets, paper logs, and best guesses. RDStream replaces all of that with a system that just works — in the background, all the time.
RDStream • Customer ExplainerEach part does one job well. Together, they form an end-to-end system.
Attach a UHF RFID tag to each asset. Link it to a digital ID in your repository. Just tag and forget — the system handles every move from then on.
Fixed readers with two antennas watch every doorway 24/7. The antenna read order tells the system if an asset is moving in or out — automatically.
Outbound WebSocket sync — no inbound firewall changes. The cloud enriches every read with location names and timestamps. IT stays happy.
Method 1: one-click Excel reports. Method 2: REST API for SAP, Oracle, or custom ERP sync. Use either — or both.
RDStream • Customer ExplainerEach feature solves a real problem that asset managers face every day.
Attach a UHF RFID tag to each asset — laptops, servers, tools, equipment. Link the tag to a digital ID in your asset system. The setup happens once. The system tracks every move from then on. Designed to scale to thousands of assets with minimal setup time.
Each Smart Gate uses one fixed reader with two antennas. The system reads the order in which the antennas pick up the tag and decides if the asset is checking in or checking out — automatically. No operator has to declare direction. Pairs with continuous and GPI-trigger scan modes.
RDStream • Customer ExplainerThe edge server runs locally on Windows Server or Ubuntu. It stores tag reads in a local SQLite database first, then syncs to the cloud. When the internet drops, work continues. When the connection returns, queued reads sync automatically. No tags lost, no operator alerts needed.
RDStream syncs over outbound WebSocket connections only — no inbound firewall changes required. Raw RFID reads are automatically enriched in the cloud with precise location metadata and synchronized timestamps. Built for sensitive IT environments with dual NIC segregation support.
RDStream • Customer ExplainerPick the method that fits your team. Method 1: one-click XLSX/Excel downloads for quick audits and management-ready reports. Method 2: direct REST API for real-time dashboards, ERP sync with SAP, Oracle, or custom systems, and automated workflows triggered by asset movement.
RDStream • Customer ExplainerReal outcomes for the people who manage assets every day.
Manual logs are gone. Check-in and check-out happen automatically. You get 100% data accuracy because there is no one to forget, skip, or mistype.
See where every asset is — right now. No more guessing. No more day-long audits. Your physical inventory and digital records always match.
The edge server keeps reading and storing even when the internet is down. Operations never stop. When the link returns, everything syncs on its own.
Outbound-only secure sync — no inbound firewall changes. Dual NIC support keeps operational traffic separate from corporate. Your security team will say yes.
Lost assets cost real money. RDStream prevents loss, cuts audit time from days to minutes, and frees your team to do higher-value work. Most customers see payback within months of deployment.
