Movement events need stable locations that people, readers and systems interpret the same way. Define the location model and read-point mapping before relying on an RFID observation as a location update.
01 / FIELD NOTE
Model the operational hierarchy
Name the site, building, zone, aisle, station, dock, storage position or other level the workflow needs. Keep codes unique, stable and understandable to the operating team, while allowing the structure to reflect the way work is actually performed.
02 / FIELD NOTE
Separate locations from equipment
A reader, antenna or trigger may observe a location, but it is not the location itself. Maintain a mapping between the physical equipment, its intended observation boundary and the location or checkpoint it is allowed to support.
03 / FIELD NOTE
Describe the read boundary
Document the intended item path, direction, trigger, nearby zones and conditions that must not create the same event. A location label without a tested boundary cannot distinguish an intended arrival from incidental visibility.
04 / FIELD NOTE
Define transition semantics
Specify what observation or operator action moves an item or asset between locations, including time, direction, custody and expected prior state. Include the treatment for a conflicting, partial or uncertain observation before changing the system of record.
05 / FIELD NOTE
Control location lifecycle changes
Assign responsibility for creating, renaming, closing and temporarily disabling locations. Update equipment configuration, integrations, signs and reports together so an obsolete code does not continue to create valid-looking events.
06 / FIELD NOTE
Test the mapping in context
Exercise a new location, a closed location, a temporarily unavailable read point and adjacent traffic with representative items. Retain the tested mapping and exception behavior with the deployment baseline.
