Assets, cages en change — traceerbaar in de hal.
Locating- en RFID-programma’s voor data centres: asset-accuracy, change control en safety — vendor-neutral.
Data halls are metal-dense and already full of systems of record. We help you choose and deploy the right RTLS and RFID mix so assets, inventory and people stay visible — then feed the tools you already run. Vendor-neutral. No hardware margin.
Datacenters: de use case en de cijfers die hij beweegt.
The right radio for each job — chosen, never sold — mapped to your use case. That is what makes the ROI fast.
1 · Account
Account for every asset and spare in the facility.
2 · Locate
Locate kit and people where work actually happens.
3 · Audit
Turn location events into audit-ready operational records.
RFID → identity · portals & zones · people where needed
Wat we steeds opnieuw in de hall zien.
Inventory drifts from the system of record
Spare rooms, staging and floor stock disagree with DCIM and finance. Counts are rare, manual and already wrong by the next change window. Incident response needs a verified headcount in seconds, with an audit trail.
Receiving-to-install has gaps
IT assets leave receiving on a ticket and land in a rack on trust. Reconciliation is periodic, manual and error-prone — exactly the kind of gap an audit or inspection exposes.
Floor and restricted-area access is blunt
Knowing who is on the floor, which zones they may enter, and whether high-value kit moved with them is often a badge log and trust. In a live hall, "trust" is not an access-control policy.
De use cases die consequent terugverdienen.
Asset & inventory accuracy
Serial-level truth for assets and spares — cycle-count evidence without taking the hall offline.
Inbound-to-install tracking
Inbound kit identified at receiving, located into the hall, with dwell and misplaced-asset alerts.
Change & custody control
Audit-grade trail for who moved what, when, and whether it matched the approved change.
Tools, test gear & handovers
Account for tools and test gear on the floor — fewer lost kits, cleaner shift and vendor handovers.
People & contractor visibility
Live visibility of who is in restricted areas, zone clearance, and exit reconciliation when the window closes.
Fit for your operating model
Designed around how you run the site — on-prem, private cloud or hybrid — with role-based access and full logging. No requirement to live in a vendor SaaS.
Hardware & software ecosystem
Zebra · Impinj · Alien · Avery Dennison · Kontakt.io · Quuppa and peers — portals, handhelds and tags selected for the hall and the job, never because we resell them.
Where we plug in
DCIM · CMDB · ITSM / change · access-control and security platforms — events in, decisions in the systems your teams already use.
Hoe “goed” eruitziet op siteniveau.
What we design and document to
IEC 62443 (OT/IT security) · ISO/IEC 27001 (information security) · data sovereignty and on-premise / private-cloud operation ·
least-privilege, role-based access and full audit logging · encrypted at rest and in transit · alignment to your accreditation and national security frameworks.
We work under mutual NDA and your site access, escort and change-control rules from day one.
Datacenters & IT — waar de payback zichtbaar wordt.
Inventory you can defend
Verified asset and spare positions without a wall-to-wall shutdown — time-stamped evidence for ops and finance.
Change & custody control
A sealed, audit-grade trail for high-value IT assets from receiving through install, move and decommission.
People, zones & change windows
A live floor register tied to change tickets, with zone clearance and automatic exit reconciliation.
We needed the hall and the system of record to agree — without another vendor dashboard. TRACIO designed identity and location events into the tools we already run. Inventory effort dropped because ops finally trusted the data.Head of Data Centre Operations · confidentialAnonymised at the client’s request. Reference available on request.
Oplossingen voor deze industrie
Veelvoorkomende use cases — wat we steeds zien.
Asset & inventory visibility
Problem: High-value IT assets and spares drift from the system of record; audits are slow and rarely trusted.
Tech mix: On-metal RFID, portals and handhelds, events into DCIM/CMDB/ITSM.
Outcome: Inventory accuracy ops and finance will stand behind — without shutting the hall.
Receiving to install
Problem: Kit is booked at receiving, then goes dark until someone walks an aisle with a scanner.
Tech mix: Portal reads at inbound, exception handhelds, location updates through install.
Outcome: Fewer ghost assets, faster installs, clearer ownership of every move.
Change & custody
Problem: Change tickets say what should have moved; the floor often tells a different story.
Tech mix: Identity and zone events correlated with change and access-control.
Outcome: Evidence-grade custody for moves, swaps and decommission.
People on the floor
Problem: Contractors, vendors and staff enter restricted areas with little more than a badge swipe.
Tech mix: Zone / BLE or access-correlated presence, clearance rules, exit reconciliation.
Outcome: Who was where, for which window — without turning the hall into a product demo.
Decommission & media handling
Problem: Chassis and drives leave the floor for wipe, reuse or destroy — and the trail breaks on a trolley.
Tech mix: Serial checkpoints at exit and media handling, tied to retirement records.
Outcome: Provable end-of-life custody for customers, auditors and insurers.
Capacity & stranded kit
Problem: Power and space plans assume assets are where the model says; stranded inventory burns capital.
Tech mix: Location and dwell analytics on high-value classes feeding planning tools.
Outcome: Recover stranded inventory and plan capacity on positions you can defend.
Veelgestelde vragen
Wat doet RTLS/RFID voor een datacenter?
Het geeft assets en, waar nuttig, mensen een duurzame identiteit plus tijdgestempelde locatie- of custody-events — zodat inventaris, changes en audits rusten op het system of record dat het team al vertrouwt.
Werkt het in een metaalrijke hall?
Ja, als radio en tags bij de omgeving passen. On-metal RFID, zorgvuldige portalplaatsing en handheld exception-reads zijn de norm, niet de uitzondering.
Vervangen we DCIM of ServiceNow?
Nee. We ontwerpen vendor-neutrale events in de systemen die u al draait. Het doel is een betrouwbare feed — geen nieuw dashboard om in te leven.
Alleen voor colo-providers?
Nee. Dezelfde problemen spelen in enterprise, colo en hyperscale: assetidentiteit, inventarisdrift, change-custody en spare-pools die niet matchen met de CMDB.
Hoe blijven jullie onafhankelijk?
TRACIO verkoopt geen hardware of locatieplatform door en neemt geen referralmarge. Shortlists worden gescoord op uw constraints en fit met het system of record.
