What is Asset Tracking Systems

Asset Tracking Systems use RFID technology to monitor the location, movement, and status of physical assets across different environments. Tags affixed to assets communicate with RFID readers to provide real-time data on inventory, usage, and availability. These systems significantly reduce asset loss, improve workflow visibility, and enable predictive maintenance.

GAO RFID’s asset tracking solutions are deployed in data centers, warehouses, factories, hospitals, and more. They are compatible with cloud and on-premises platforms, enabling centralized oversight even across multiple sites in the United Arab Emirates.

GAO RFID offers a comprehensive selection of asset tracking systems, including

• IT Asset Tracking System

Designed for data centers, offices, and educational institutions, this system ensures IT equipment such as laptops, servers, and peripherals is accurately tracked. GAO’s RFID tags help prevent unauthorized movement, reduce loss, and streamline audits. Asset data can be synchronized with internal IT management systems for full lifecycle tracking.

International Standards for Asset Tracking Systems

• ISO/IEC 18000—RFID air interface protocol
• ISO/IEC 19762—RFID vocabulary standard
• GS1 EPCglobal—Global standards for asset visibility

United Arab Emirates Regulations for Asset Tracking Systems

• TRA Spectrum Regulations – Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA)
  The TDRA governs the use of radio frequency spectrum in the UAE, including bands used by RFID and wireless asset tracking systems. All RFID devices must comply with spectrum allocation guidelines to avoid interference and ensure legal operation within designated frequency ranges (typically 865–868 MHz for UHF RFID).
• Federal Tax Authority (FTA) – VAT and Inventory Compliance
  Businesses using asset tracking systems must ensure that inventory records comply with VAT reporting standards under the Federal Tax Authority. Accurate, real-time tracking supports transparent reporting and auditing, especially for sectors dealing with excisable goods, imports, or high-value inventory.
• UAE Customs and Ports Authority – Import/Export Asset Traceability
  For companies involved in logistics, warehousing, and trade, asset tracking systems must align with customs clearance and inspection protocols. Integration with digital customs platforms helps enhance traceability, reduce clearance delays, and ensure compliance with the UAE’s import/export documentation and security requirements.
• National Industrial Development Policies – Operation 300 Bn and UAE Industrial Strategy
  The UAE’s industrial strategy emphasizes digital transformation in manufacturing and logistics. Asset tracking systems contribute to efficiency, traceability, and automation, supporting national goals for supply chain modernization, smart factory adoption, and local economic resilience under initiatives like Operation300 Bnn.

GAO Case Studies

• Abu Dhabi – IT Equipment Visibility in Government Offices
  A government office complex in Abu Dhabi implemented GAO RFID’s solution to track over 1,000 IT and communication assets. The system delivered real-time location visibility, streamlined inventory audits, and prevented unauthorized equipment movement. It also aligned with internal cybersecurity and compliance protocols for secure hardware management in public sector environments.
• Dubai Industrial City—Tool Tracking in a Manufacturing Plant
  A large-scale manufacturing facility in Dubai Industrial City deployed GAO’s RFID system to monitor critical tools and mobile machinery. The solution improved asset availability, reduced tool loss, and ensured only authorized personnel could access specialized equipment, enhancing operational safety, regulatory compliance, and overall productivity.
• Sharjah—Work-in-Progress (WIP) Monitoring in an Electronics Plant
  An electronics assembly plant in Sharjah adopted GAO RFID’s WIP tracking system to monitor semi-finished products through various production phases. The solution enabled real-time progress updates, minimized bottlenecks, and empowered supervisors to take immediate action, helping the plant meet quality and delivery targets in a competitive manufacturing environment.
• Ajman—Pallet Return Management for Retail Distribution
  A retail distributor in Ajman implemented GAO RFID’s asset tracking solution to manage reusable pallets across warehouses and retail outlets. The system improved pallet recovery, optimized reverse logistics, and reduced operational costs. It also supported the company’s environmental sustainability initiatives through better resource utilization and reduced material waste.
• Al Ain—Asset Control Across a University Campus
  A major university in Al Ain used GAO RFID technology to manage high-value assets—including lab equipment, computers, and media devices—across multiple academic buildings. The system enabled faster audits, centralized control, and tracked asset movements across departments.
