[How-to] Set Up RFID Asset Tracking with EZO

EZO’s RFID asset tracking software will drastically speed up equipment processing at your organization. This blog will take you through the process of setting up your TSL 1128 RFID Scanner and using the EZO mobile app to scan your way to more streamlined RFID equipment management!

Note: This integration is currently only supported on iOS devices, with Android support to follow soon.

Scanning RFID tags

For iOS Devices:

1) Make sure your RFID scanner is turned on. Next, sign in to your iOS EZO app and click the scanning symbol on the top bar, highlighted in red in the image below. You can now choose the TSL RFID Scanner option in the overlay.

2) You’ll now be asked to pair your RFID Reader with our app. You can also do this directly from your phone settings. Remember to enable your Bluetooth! After choosing the RFID Reader, you’ll be taken back to the scanning screen.
