How to use TRAKON Asset Basic

The Bridge is a small app that runs on the station PC and links your ACCUZ® RFID reader to TRAKON. Do this once per station before registering tags or running a workstation. (This step is the same for every module.)

1. Open your ACCUZ® Bridge folder and double-click the AccuzBridge application, the ACCUZ® Bridge Setup window opens.
2. Leave Setup Mode on SaaS enrollment code. The Platform URL is already filled (https://app.trakon.ai).
3. Enter your Enrollment Code, you receive this after buying ACCUZ® hardware or subscribing to the software. (It’s the only field you must type.)
4. Module, leave Auto from enrollment (recommended: it picks up your module automatically, and any new modules later). If it doesn’t resolve, pick your module (asset-basic / count-basic).
5. Click Check Enrollment. A green ✓ (“Enrollment will be redeemed when you Save”) means the code is valid.
6. Under Desktop RFID Reader, pick your Reader Model, Asset Basic and Count Basic use AZD-R1, and set Connection to USB.
7. Optional, Zebra label printer. Tick Enable Zebra RFID label printer to reveal a Printer Connection choice (USB print only, TCP/IP Print & Bind, or USB P&B); for TCP/IP enter the Printer IP and Port (e.g. 192.168.1.100 : 9100). Tick Start automatically with Windows to launch the Bridge on every boot.
8. Click Save & Start Bridge. A small dot appears in the Windows tray (bottom-right): yellow = Bridge running, green = Bridge connected to the software.
9. Confirm in the app: open Hardware, the device shows Connected with your reader, Bridge version and live controls. Not showing? Click Refresh.

Switching modules & the tray menu. If you have more than one module, right-click the Bridge tray dot to manage it without re-running setup. Open Active module and pick the one to serve (e.g. switch asset-basic → count-basic). The same menu has Open Web UI, Re-run Setup, View Logs and Exit.

Registering is two steps. First you create the asset record. Then you bind an RFID tag to it, the tag is not assigned automatically, you choose how to bind it.

Step A, create the record. On the Assets page click + Add and fill in the Register New Asset form:

1. Enter an Asset Code (e.g. TW-001) and a Name.
2. Pick a Category (e.g. General, TOOL) and an optional Department.
3. Choose a Location (required) from your location hierarchy, then click Save.

Step B, bind the RFID tag. The new asset appears in the list with a Bind Tag button in the RFID Tag column. Click it and choose a method:

1. Scan from Reader (recommended), place a single tag on the desktop reader (AZD-R1) and press its read button; the EPC fills in automatically. Click Bind.
2. Manual Input, type the EPC code by hand, then Bind.
3. Print & Bind, print the label on a Zebra printer and bind in one step.

The Assets page is your master register. The toolbar lets you Search and filter by Status, Category, Location and Tag type, toggle Show retired, Import in bulk, or + Add a new asset. Columns: Code, Name, Category, Status, Holder, Calibration, Location, Last seen and RFID Tag.

Click any row to open the asset detail panel on the right. It has:

1. Basic Information, code, category, status, department, location, holder, last seen (and Edit).
2. RFID Tag, EPC, Tag ID, an LED Tag switch, and actions Unbind Tag, Print Label and Locate.
3. Calibration, current status, due date, interval and a Record Calibration button.
4. Quick Actions, Report Lost and Retire.

Click Edit to change the name, category, department, location, description, Notes, and the Calibration Interval (days) and Calibration Due Date (the Asset Code itself can’t be changed).

The Workstation is a full-screen station for the tool crib or doorway. Open it from the sidebar, it launches in its own window. It runs at /workstation/ and shows Device Status: Connected when a reader is attached.

1 · Sign in, every transaction is tied to a person:

1. Scan Badge, place your RFID employee card on the reader, or
2. Enter PIN Instead, type your 4-6 digit PIN.

2 · Choose a direction & add the tools. Top-right, switch between Exit (borrow / out) and Entry (return / in). Then add assets two ways:

1. RFID Scan, place the tagged tools on the reader; they stream in (toggle Beep, hit Scan More, remove a line with ✗, or Clear All).
2. Manual Select, type an asset name or code and pick it from the list (no reader needed).

3 · Confirm. Click Confirm Checkout (Exit) or Confirm Return (Entry). You’ll see Transaction Complete with a count, a Print Receipt button and Done, the station returns to the welcome screen automatically.

Returning for a colleague, Return on Behalf. In Entry mode, above Confirm Return, click Return on Behalf, search and pick the original borrower, then confirm. The item is returned under their name and the Transactions log records who returned it for whom.

Returning a damaged tool, Report Damage. Also in Entry mode, click Report Damage, choose the asset, describe the damage and set a Severity (Minor / Major / Critical), then Submit Damage Report. The asset’s status becomes Damaged and it’s flagged in alerts.

The Live Board is one screen of everything currently out on loan, ideal for a wall display. The header shows how many items are currently borrowed; Search filters by code, asset or holder.

Columns: Code · Asset · Category · Holder · Duration · Overdue · Calibration. Overdue loans are flagged; the Calibration column is colour-coded by due date.

Many assets need periodic calibration or maintenance. TRAKON tracks the cycle per asset and (by default) blocks check-out of an expired instrument until it’s re-done.

1. Set the cycle on the asset: open it from the Assets list → Edit → set Calibration Interval (days) and Calibration Due Date.
2. Watch it on the Calibrations page, two tabs, Expiring Soon and Expired, with columns Code · Asset · Due Date · Days Left · Holder · Action.
3. After re-calibrating, click Record Calibration (here or in the asset’s detail panel), the cycle resets and the tool can be issued again.

Every movement is logged automatically. Filter by date range (From, To), by Type, or Search, and Export the result. Columns: Time · Type · Asset · Name · User · Direction · On Behalf · Alerts.

• Type, Borrow or Return. Direction, Exit (out) or Entry (in).
• On Behalf, the original borrower, when an item was returned for someone else.
• Alerts, anything unusual flagged at the moment of the transaction (a red badge; hover for the message; “, ” when clean). Examples: borrowing a damaged/lost or out-of-cal tool, an overdue hold/return, an unregistered tag or wrong direction.

Five tabs and an Export button:

1. Inventory Overview, counts broken down by status, by category and by location.
2. Asset Coverage, per asset: Code · Asset · Category · Last seen (shows Never for tags not yet read).
3. Asset Utilization, per asset: Code · Asset · Category · Borrows · Avg Duration · Idle Days · Last Used. Spot under-used or never-returned tools.
4. User Activity, per person: User · Borrows · Returns · Current · Overdue · Damage · Loss.
5. Calibration Due, Code · Asset · Calibration Due · Days to Due · User (overdue shows negative days).

A one-time setup (usually by an administrator) makes the system fit your site.

1. Locations, build a hierarchy. Each location has a Code, Name, Type (building / floor / zone / shelf / rack / bin), an optional Parent, a Display Order and Description.
2. Categories, manage asset categories (Order · Name · Description · Status · Actions; e.g. TOOL).
3. Users, add people and set a Role (User, Supervisor, Admin), optional Department, a Badge ID (click Scan to read their card), a PIN (4-6 digits), and an Active/Inactive status.
4. Settings, the rules below.

Settings, what each rule does:

TRAKON talks to ACCUZ® UHF readers through the Bridge, a small helper that runs on the station PC. The Hardware page shows the live status of the connected Bridge and reader, and lets you tune it.

1. Bridge info, version and scan state (e.g. Standby).
2. Reader info, brand (ACCUZ®), model (AZD-R1), firmware, antennas, uptime and connection (USB).
3. Controls, Power (dBm), Buzzer and Scan Interval (ms). Defaults work for most rooms; click Refresh to re-read status.
