The Redkite Asset Management System (AMS) Mobile Companion software is a very popular optional module designed to facilitate inventory checks, the entry of tests and inspections and the reporting of defects quickly and easily without the need to visit on-site computers.

Does the software have to be installed on the reader?
No. The Redkite Asset Management System (AMS) Mobile Companion is web based software that is accessed via a web address by the reader using a wireless (Wi-Fi) or telephone (3G or 4G) connection much the same as any other internet web site.  The Mobile Companion software is only available to authorised users and is opened on commencement of an activity and closed on completion. No Redkite software is installed on the reader. Many makes of readers can be used but please check BEFORE you purchase readers.

How do I download worksheets showing daily tests and inspections onto the reader?
You don’t need to. On logging on to the system the software will recognise you and will send the worksheet relevant to you directly to the reader.

How do I upload results once I have completed the work? Is there a problem if I am called to another job?
When you finish work, even if unexpectedly, everything you have done up to that point will already have been saved so nothing will get lost. Nothing needs to be uploaded. If you resume work later the software will let you continue from where you left off.

How much training will my staff require?
The Redkite Mobile Companion software is very easy to use, requiring little or no training and, because nothing is installed on the reader, it can be implemented very quickly.

I need to have more than one person carrying out an inventory check - is this a problem?
Not at all. Inventory check lists are continuously refreshed on all readers and each user will only see items to scan that have not already been scanned or in the unlikely event that the same item is scanned twice the later scan can be ignored.

What readers can I use?
Whilst you can use any compatible hand held reader, we can provide a selection of tried and tested hand held bar-code and RFID readers including those that can be used on most popular makes of smart phones.

What about bar code labels and RFID tags?
The labels / tags you use will be governed by your reader. Redkite Systems do not supply bar code labels or RFID tags but we have a large number of clients whom you can contact to establish the best tags for your needs.

Mid & West Wales FRS have purchased the Redkite Mobile Companion with a view to deploying an RFID marking solution throughout the service. Redkite Systems will be working closely with MWWFRS and at least one RFID reader manufacturer to look at the possibility of carrying out an inventory of an RFID tagged appliance at a single read.

Redkite Systems is also working with Warwickshire FRS, Northamptonshire FRS and others to further develop the reading of equipment held in a locker at a single read using a hand held reader. We have already reached proof of concept with this project and WFRS are now retro-fitting RFID tags to move to the next stage of the project.
