Research and grant deadlines will not be missed.

Sponsored research and grant programs are a vital part of the university and deadlines can't be missed. A missing file folder can be the difference between success and incomplete submissions. 3M's radio frequency identification system lets you easily track and manage your file locations so you won't miss critical deadlines.

With the flurry of paperwork essential to developing and applying for research and grant programs, files must be ready at all times for staying on track and submitting applications on time. Our RFID Tracking Solutions suite of products lets you systematically track, locate, and manage files at all times - quickly and easily so program applications can be a successful part of your university.

Track and manage critical files

3M RFID Tracking Solutions is a comprehensive system that includes software, tags, pads, and a handheld tracker. Each tag is a paper-thin label that electronically identifies all files within range of a reader. Unlike barcodes, scanning does not require a physical line of sight. Staff can process many tagged files at once, and tags can be read through folders. The tracking pad is a networked device that programs tags, identifies files, and checks items in and out. The portable handheld tracker allows staff to quickly read tags, inventory offices and work areas, and update file locations on the server. The device also locates misfiled items on shelves and indicates where they should be re-filed. Via the tracking software, a complete file history is available on any connected computer.

Enhance Productivity and Grant Submissions

On its own or integrated with existing systems, 3M RFID Tracking Solutions provides the tools and technology universities need to work efficiently, manage research and grant programs effectively, and quickly access vital information. Along with increased productivity, the system reduces risk and liability, enhances professionalism, and provides higher confidence. Discover what 3M can do for your university.
