Sijil · RFID asset tracking
RFID asset tracking, from the first tag to every count.
Birbal AI supplies and fits the RFID tags and readers, and Sijil turns every read into a record: which asset, where it is and who holds it. A handheld reader counts a room without anyone scanning labels one by one by sight. Barcode and QR labels cover the assets where RFID doesn’t make sense.

RFID, explained
What RFID asset tracking is
RFID (radio-frequency identification) tags carry a unique ID that a reader picks up by radio, without seeing the tag.
Tags
Each asset carries a passive RFID label or tag with its own ID. Passive tags have no battery; the reader’s signal powers them.
Readers
A handheld reader picks up many tags at once as you walk through a room, including tags inside cabinets or behind other items.
Software
Sijil links every tag to an asset record and compares what was read with what the register says should be there.
Choosing a tag
RFID, barcode or QR: which to use where
Most registers use a mix. Sijil handles all three in the same count.
| Feature | RFID | Barcode | QR code |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it is read | By radio, many tags at once | One at a time, by sight | One at a time, by phone camera |
| Line of sight | Not needed | Needed | Needed |
| Reader | Handheld RFID reader | Scanner or phone | Any smartphone |
| Tag cost | Highest, more for on-metal tags | Lowest | Lowest |
| Best for | Large counts, IT rooms, furniture, stores | Offices, low asset counts | Self-service checks by staff |
Cost
What drives the cost of RFID asset tracking
There is no single price, because projects differ in these five ways. We quote after we see your register and sites.
Number of assets
More assets mean more tags and more time to tag them.
Kind of tags
Standard RFID labels cost less than on-metal and rugged tags, which servers, machinery and outdoor assets need.
Readers
How many handheld readers you need depends on how many teams count at the same time.
Sites and access
The number of sites, emirates and working hours we can access sets the size of the on-site team.
Software licence
Sijil is licensed by the number of assets and users, on your servers or as a subscription in a UAE cloud region.
How we roll it out
From survey to the first RFID count
- 01
Survey
We review your register and walk the sites to see the assets, surfaces and rooms.
- 02
Choose
We choose the tags and readers for each asset class, with barcode or QR where RFID isn’t worth it.
- 03
Tag
Our team fits and encodes the tags and links each one to its asset record in Sijil.
- 04
Count
We run the first RFID count with you and reconcile it with the register.
- 05
Hand over
Your team gets the readers and the Sijil app, so the next count is a walk through the rooms.
Where RFID pays off
Places where counting by sight takes too long
IT rooms and data centres
Servers, switches and spare equipment counted rack by rack with on-metal tags.
Hospitals and laboratories
Equipment that moves between wards and labs, counted without opening every cabinet.
Offices with many items
Furniture and IT across many floors, counted room by room in one walk.
Stores and warehouses
Assets on shelves and in boxes, read without unpacking.
Schools and universities
Classrooms and labs full of similar equipment.
Equipment pools
Shared tools and devices checked out and returned many times a week.

FAQ
RFID asset tracking questions, answered
What is RFID in asset tracking?
RFID asset tracking puts a radio-frequency tag with a unique ID on each asset. A reader picks up the tags by radio, many at a time and without seeing them, and the software matches each read to the asset’s record.
How much does RFID asset tracking cost?
It depends on the number of assets, the kind of tags (on-metal and rugged tags cost more than labels), how many readers you need, the number of sites and the software licence. We quote after seeing your register and sites.
Is RFID or barcode better for asset tracking?
RFID is faster for large counts because it reads many tags at once without line of sight. Barcodes and QR codes cost less and suit offices with fewer assets. Many organisations use RFID for dense areas and QR or barcodes elsewhere, and Sijil handles both.
Do RFID tags work on metal assets?
Standard RFID labels read poorly on metal, so servers, racks and machinery get on-metal RFID tags made for metal surfaces.
Do you supply the RFID tags and readers?
Yes. Birbal AI supplies and fits the RFID tags and supplies the handheld readers, and our own team tags the assets on site.
Does RFID show where an asset is in real time?
With handheld readers, Sijil shows where an asset was at its last count or scan. Continuous live location needs fixed readers or other technologies, which most asset registers do not need.
Can we use QR codes and RFID together?
Yes. Sijil handles RFID, barcode and QR in the same register and the same count.
