RFID at work

[KingDing]

Hi all.
I been thinking about an idea for work.
We have radios at work that tend to go missing around the building.

I was thinking of putting a RFID tag on the radio and as they pass through a doorway, it reads the tag and remembers its location.
So I can find where a certain radios last location.

I need something that reads at a distance of say a metre. Anyone got any ideas?

it has to be small enough to place on radio, like the NFC discs.

Thanks for the responses as this has given me plenty to research.

Cheaper and easier solution would be to number the radios and then make staff sign them in and out when they have one. Make people RESPONSIBLE for the equipment they use and charge them for replacements.

You'll find that they go missing a lot less doing this.

This is what we currently do. Trying to locate thru the records are a nightmare and also they still keep going missing with no trace.

Well I just taken over as Bob.
the last audit was done over 2 years ago, bad admin I know.
I gone thru the records and found most of lost ones.
there are other reasons to have this system in place. Safety of staff.
