How to use TRAKON Count Basic

The Bridge is a small app that runs on the station PC and links your ACCUZ® desktop RFID reader to TRAKON. In Count Basic the desktop reader is used mainly to bind tags at registration, bulk counting and locate run on the handheld (next section). Do this once per station. (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). If it doesn’t resolve, pick 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, Count Basic uses 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.

Spot checks and Locate run on the ACCUZ® AZH-P1 handheld reader through the ACCUZ® Mobility app. Unlike the desktop reader, the handheld talks to the platform directly, no Bridge, and keeps itself in sync over its own connection (a REST heartbeat).

1. On the AZH-P1, open ACCUZ® Mobility. On the activation screen, enter the Activation Code and the device’s Reader ID, then tap Activate. (The code is issued with your subscription, like the Bridge enrollment code.)
2. Sign in with your TRAKON account. The handheld shows its modules, open Spot Check.
3. Back in the web app, open Hardware, the AZH-P1 appears as Connected on the MOBILITY platform. (It heartbeats over REST, so there’s no Windows tray dot like the Bridge.)
4. The handheld is now ready to receive spot-check and locate tasks dispatched from the web (see Spot Checks and Locate).

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 form:

1. Enter an Asset Code (e.g. AZ-004) and a Name.
2. Pick a Category (e.g. hand tool) and an optional Department.
3. Choose a Location 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 · Location · Last seen · RFID Tag (a green ✓ when a tag is bound, plus an LED badge for LED tags).

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

1. Basic Information, code, category, status, department, location, last seen (and Edit).
2. RFID Tag, EPC, Tag ID, an LED Tag switch (“Marked as LED-equipped tag”), and actions Unbind Tag, Print Label and Locate.
3. Quick Actions, Mark Damaged, Report Lost and Retire.
4. Locate History, every locate attempt for this asset (Started / Found, with signal/power and the source: an Asset Locate or a Spot Check Locate).

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

A spot check compares a physical sweep against the registry. You scope it in the web app, dispatch it to a handheld, sweep with the AZH-P1, then reconcile the results back in the web app.

Step A, create the check (web).

1. On Spot Checks, click New Spot Check. Give it a Title and a Scope, the whole warehouse or a specific Location. TRAKON builds the Expected list from the registry. Click Create, the check appears as Pending.

Step B, dispatch to a device (web).

1. Open the check and click Dispatch to Device. Pick the Target device (your AZH-P1), Assign to a user, and set a Task expiry (default 24h). Click Dispatch.

Step C, sweep (handheld).

1. On the AZH-P1, refresh the task list and open the Spot Check task. Tap Start Scan (set Power in dBm if needed) and walk the area, hundreds of tags per second stream in, sorted into Matched, Missing and Unexpected in real time.
2. When done, tap Complete, the result syncs back and the handheld shows Check Complete.

Step D, reconcile (web).

1. The check now shows Completed with Results (✓ found · ✗ missing · ⚠ unexpected). Open it for the breakdown, Expected · Scanned · Confirmed · Missing · Unexpected, and an Item Detail tab (All / Confirmed / Unexpected) listing every tag.
2. If anything is Missing, the check reads Completed (incomplete); use Create Follow-up to spin up a re-check, or Locate the missing item directly (see Locate).

Locate dispatches a single asset to the handheld and guides you to it by RSSI signal strength (stronger = closer). There are two ways in:

1. From a spot check, next to a Missing item, click Locate. The dialog is Locate Missing Asset → Start Locate.
2. From the Assets list / asset detail, click Locate on any asset. The dialog is Locate Asset → Send Locate Task.

Either way, the dialog lets you pick the Send to device (your AZH-P1) and a Search timeout (default 5 minutes). Because the handheld doesn’t auto-switch, ask the operator to refresh the task list and open Locate within the window (300s).

On the handheld.

1. Open the LOCATE task. A signal reads Target detected · RSSI nn and rises as you get closer (tune Power in dBm). Use Stop Locate to pause.
2. For an LED tag, an LED Pulse button flashes the tag’s light to pinpoint it. Plain tags use RSSI only, no LED button.
3. When you have it, tap Confirm Found (or Not Found). The handheld shows Locate Result Sent / Found result accepted / Done.

Back in the web app, the asset’s Locate History (and Reports → Locate History) records each attempt as Started then Found, with the source, asset_locate for a standalone locate, or the spot-check code (e.g. SC-20260619-003) when it came from a check.

Reports has three tabs and an Export CSV button:

1. Spot Check History, every check: Code · When · Operator · Expected · Scanned · Confirmed · Missing · Coverage.
2. Asset Coverage, per asset: Code · Asset · Category · Last seen, so you can see what hasn’t been scanned in a while.
3. Locate History, every locate event: When · Asset · Result (started / found) · Operator (the user, asset_locate, or the spot-check code).

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. Spot-check scopes and the Zone Overview use this.
2. Categories, manage asset categories (Order · Name · Description · Status · Actions; e.g. hand 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, and an Active/Inactive status.
4. Settings, the rules below.

Settings, what each rule does:

The Hardware page shows the live status of every connected device, the desktop reader (via the Bridge) and the AZH-P1 handheld (via ACCUZ® Mobility), and lets you tune the desktop reader.
