Armory Management & Weapons Accountability System
Radio Frequency (RFID) Weapons Tracking System
Executive Overview
The ARMS Armory Management system is optimized for Weapons / Gear Accountability, by tracking weapons, gear and defensive equipment using software screens, bar codes and / or RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technologies. The software is fully developed, COTS (Commercial Off-the-Shelf) software, and is typically further customized according to each customer's specific requirements.
The ARMS rapid-application-development toolkit enables the software to be rapidly configured according to each customer's preferred terminology (data fields), and to automate workflow and generate reports consistent with current or preferred operational practices.
Software and Bar Code Tracking
ARMS includes a 'Weapon/Gear Tracking Screen' that enables staff to enter an item # by keyboard, or scan a bar code or RFID tag on an item (using a USB connected bar code or RFID scanner), to indicate an item that is being issued to personnel or returned to the armory.
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Tracking
RFID Radio Frequency technology is the state-of-the-art in weapons tracking, and is achieved by placing special RFID tags within or on weapons and gear. The RFID tag # is linked to the Weapon or Item Serial # within the database.
