Xemelgo RFID Work-In-Process, Inventory & Asset Tracking Software

Work-In-Process, Inventory & Asset Tracking for Manufacturers, Distributors & Multi-Site Operations.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Xemelgo is cloud RFID software that tracks work orders, inventory, tools, assets and shipments in real time for manufacturers and distributors. It runs on RAIN RFID readers, handhelds and tags from Zebra, Impinj and others, with a browser app and iOS and Android on the floor. Every deployment is scoped and quoted to the operation.

  • Five Apps, One Platform

    Work orders, inventory, assets, shipments and internal deliveries run on the same tags, the same readers and one login.

  • Nobody Walks the Floor

    Jobs report their own status and shelves count themselves, so the hours spent chasing work orders and counting stock come back.

  • Unlimited Users Included

    Every shift, supervisor and planner can be in it without buying seats.

UNDERSTAND

What Xemelgo Does

Keep Jobs Moving

  • Live Job Status

    Work orders move through each production stage automatically as tagged parts pass readers, so where a job actually is stops being a question somebody has to go answer.

  • Bottleneck & Idle Alerts

    A job that stops moving surfaces the day it stops, not at the end of the week, and the stage holding everything up is visible rather than suspected.

  • Priority Queues

    Live queues and smart rules put the hot jobs and expedites in front of the operators who need to see them first.

Count and Find Without Walking the Floor

  • Automatic Counts

    Tagged items read as they move, so stock and location stay current instead of being rebuilt from a spreadsheet each week. Full or partial counts run in minutes, including in areas with no connectivity.

  • Walk It Down

    Search for one item and a handheld signals more strongly as you close in on it, so a tool buried on a rack gets found in minutes.

  • Any Code, One App

    RFID, barcode, QR, OCR and manual entry all capture in the same app, so a site part-way through tagging is not running two systems.

Verify What Ships and Arrives

  • Dock Verification

    Orders are checked complete and on the right vehicle at staging, shipping and receiving, so a short shipment is caught before it leaves.

  • Transfers Between Sites

    Material moving between facilities is verified at both ends, so what left and what landed are the same list.

  • Internal Deliveries

    Inbound packages are tracked from the dock to the person waiting on them, with delivery confirmation at the last yard.

Catch Problems Before They Cost You

  • Low-Stock & Loss Alerts

    Set thresholds and conditions without code, and get an email or text when stock runs low or an asset leaves its home base.

  • Calibration & Expiry

    Expiration and calibration dates sit on the asset record, with warning before a date passes and an immediate flag if an expired item is in service.

  • Ask for a Report

    Ask in plain language and get live data, graphs and reports back, or push the same data into Power BI or Tableau.

QUALIFY

Who Xemelgo Is For

Xemelgo publishes no minimum fleet or item count. Its own guidance is that the platform scales from a few dozen assets to tens of thousands, so the question is less about size than about whether things move through steps and whether not knowing where they are costs you money.

WHO XEMELGO FITS

  • Multi-Step Production

    Parts, tools and jobs move through several stages, and a late job is usually found late.

  • Counting Stops Work

    Physical inventory means halting the floor, and the count is stale within days.

  • Searching Eats Hours

    People spend measurable time looking for things that are somewhere in the building.

  • Dated Assets

    Calibration or expiration dates live on a spreadsheet, and an expired item in service is an audit finding.

  • One System, Not Four

    You want work orders, inventory, assets and shipments in one place rather than four tools that do not agree.

  • Several Shifts & Sites

    You expect to go from one site to several, and to put every shift on it, without changing platforms or buying seats.

DEPLOYED AGAINST

The problems Xemelgo gets put on are consistent: production floors where nobody can say which jobs are late until the end of the week, tool cribs and calibrated-equipment programs where a missing or out-of-date item stops work, stock rooms counted by hand on a schedule nobody trusts, and docks where short or mis-loaded shipments turn into chargebacks weeks later.

When Something Else Fits Better

  • You need machine data — cycle times, downtime, utilization off the equipment itself. Xemelgo reports on jobs and materials as they move, not on what the machines are doing. That is a manufacturing execution or machine-monitoring system.

  • You need a live, moving location for vehicles or equipment out in the world. That is GPS telematics, not RFID — RFID tells you where something was last read, not where it is driving.

  • You need the accounting side of assets, such as depreciation and book value. Tracking proves what you physically have; it does not keep the books.

  • Your need is one simple list in one room, with no production or shipping workflow attached. A straightforward barcode tracking tool will cost less and do it. Tell us anyway and we will point you at the right one.

SIZE IT

Xemelgo Products & Deployment Scope

Every operation is different, so each deployment is scoped and quoted to yours. Three things decide what you need: how many sites are in scope, how many of the five applications you start with, and whether reads happen with a handheld in someone’s hand or automatically at fixed readers. Xemelgo publishes no named editions — you choose applications, and they share the same tags, readers and records, so adding one later does not mean re-tagging.

Work-In-Process Tracking

INCLUDES

Work orders tracked by production stage, live queues, bottleneck and idle-job alerts.

Not included: Machine monitoring and production scheduling; Xemelgo reports on jobs rather than running the schedule.

WHO IT FITS

Multi-step production where late jobs are found late.

Inventory Management

INCLUDES

Raw materials through finished goods, automated counts and transactions, low-stock alerts.

Not included: Work-order status and job routing — that is Work-In-Process Tracking.

WHO IT FITS

Stock rooms and material cribs counted by hand on a schedule.

Asset Tracking

INCLUDES

Location, search-and-find, loss alerts, calibration and expiration dates.

Not included: Depreciation and book value; tracking proves the physical record, it does not keep the ledger.

WHO IT FITS

Tool cribs, test and inspection equipment, regulated and calibrated items.

Shipment Tracking

INCLUDES

Staging, shipping, receiving and transfer verification, order accuracy at each touchpoint.

Not included: Carrier rating, manifesting and freight booking.

WHO IT FITS

Docks shipping complete orders under chargeback pressure.

Package Delivery

INCLUDES

Inbound package tracking to the recipient with delivery confirmation.

WHO IT FITS

Sites where inbound packages go missing between the dock and the desk.

ADD-ONS AND DEPLOYMENT

Xemelgo AI

Built-in chat that answers questions about live data and generates reports and visualizations, included with the platform rather than sold as an analytics add-on.

Labeling and Encoding

Tag printing and RFID encoding run from inside the platform on Zebra RFID printers, with no print drivers to manage.

Edge and Reader Management

Fixed reader health monitoring, remote configuration and firmware updates from one place, so a reader problem does not become a data problem.

Deployment Model

Cloud, hosted on AWS. Starter configurations stand up quickly; multi-site deployments run on the same platform with shared configuration and reporting.

REQUIREMENTS

What You Need to Run Xemelgo

WHERE IT RUNS

Platform & Setup

  • Deployment

    Cloud platform hosted on AWS. No on-premise server to stand up.

  • Access

    Browser app for administrators and leadership, iOS and Android for the floor, with offline capture that syncs when the device reconnects.

  • Tags

    RAIN RFID tags matched to what they go on. On-metal, near-liquid and general-purpose tags are different constructions, and the wrong one is the usual reason an RFID pilot disappoints.

WHAT IT MANAGES

Hardware

  • Readers

    Handhelds for counting and finding; fixed readers at dock doors, portals and work cells where reads should happen with nobody doing anything. Xemelgo is hardware-agnostic and runs on readers and tags from Zebra, Impinj and other major manufacturers.

  • Printers & Encoding

    Tag printing and RFID encoding run from inside the platform on Zebra RFID printers. No print drivers to manage.

HOW IT CONNECTS

Integrations & Security

  • Integrations

    Open APIs to ERP, MRP and WMS platforms, event-based messaging that pushes data downstream as it changes, and named BI connections to Power BI and Tableau. Integration is a capability of the software; what yours requires gets scoped before you buy.

  • Security

    Role-based access down to the feature level, enterprise single sign-on through providers such as Okta and Azure AD, distributed access so a supplier or customer sees only their own part, and published SOC 2 compliance.

CHALLENGE

Common Questions Before Buying Xemelgo

Rollout

Weeks to a few months overall, depending on the complexity and scope of the project. Xemelgo publishes no fixed timeline, so here is what moves each step:

  1. 01

    Scope and Tag Selection

    Driven by what you are tagging. Metal, liquid and extreme temperatures each need a different tag, and that is settled by testing rather than a spec sheet.

  2. 02

    Pilot One Workflow at One Site

    Driven by whether you start with one application or several, and whether handhelds alone will do.

  3. 03

    Fixed Reader Infrastructure

    Driven by how many dock doors, portals and work cells need automatic reads, and by what the install involves at each.

  4. 04

    Integration and Rollout

    Driven by how many sites follow and which systems the data has to reach.

TIP

Test tags on your own materials before you buy any in volume. Read performance on your metal, your liquids and your racking is the single thing that decides whether the project lands, and it is the one thing no spec sheet can tell you.

MORE QUESTIONS BUYERS ASK

  • Will It Work With the Hardware We Already Own?

    Xemelgo is hardware-agnostic, so existing RAIN RFID readers, handhelds and mobile devices from the major manufacturers generally work. We check your specific models against the supported list before anything is quoted.

  • Does RFID Work Near Metal and Liquid?

    Standard tags lose read reliability near both, and this is where most disappointing pilots come from. Tags built for those surfaces solve it. We test tags against your actual materials — remotely with demo equipment and sample tags, or on site when the project calls for it — before recommending a configuration.

  • What If We Start With One Application and Need Another?

    The five applications share the same tags, readers and records, so adding one later is a licensing and configuration change rather than a re-tagging project. Starting with work-in-process and adding inventory or assets later is a common path.

  • Will Our IT and Security Team Sign Off?

    It runs on AWS with role-based access down to the feature level, enterprise single sign-on through providers such as Okta and Azure AD, and published SOC 2 compliance. Open APIs mean your ERP stays the system of record.

  • What Happens When Something Breaks?

    Software questions go to Xemelgo, which supports the application directly including onboarding and training. Readers, printers, tags and labels come to Advanced Automation. If it is not obvious which side a problem sits on, contact either of us and we will sort it out together.

  • Can We See It Before We Commit?

    Yes. Request a demo and we will set up a guided walkthrough with you and Xemelgo — a live look at the software, including the back end, against the workflow you are trying to fix. There is no self-serve trial environment, and before you buy tags in volume we will also test tags on your own materials.
