MyApiary Automated Equipment Transfer Tracking

Every evening, WebRun opens MyApiary, reads the RFID equipment identifiers and the moves logged that day, updates a Google Sheet showing which boxes, supers, and pallets now sit at each apiary site, and posts your team a Slack summary of the day's transfers plus any tagged item that has not been scanned in a while.

In short

How do I track hive equipment moves by RFID automatically?

Every evening WebRun opens MyApiary, reads the RFID equipment identifiers and the day's moves, and updates a Google Sheet showing which boxes, supers, and pallets now sit at each apiary site. It then posts your team a Slack summary of the transfers and flags any tagged item not scanned recently, so equipment stays tracked across every yard.

  • Every tagged box and super has a known location each night
  • The day's transfers are logged without manual paperwork
  • Gear not scanned recently is flagged before it goes missing

Good to know

Questions, answered

Does it move equipment or change records in MyApiary?

No. WebRun only reads the RFID scans and moves in MyApiary. It updates the Google Sheet and posts the Slack summary, and never reassigns equipment or edits a scan record itself.

How does it flag missing equipment?

It compares each tagged item's last scan date against the window you set. Anything not scanned within that window is flagged in the Slack summary as potentially missing, so gear does not quietly go astray.

Can it track equipment across multiple sites?

Yes. It reads scans from every apiary site and keeps one location column per tagged item, so a fleet of boxes, supers, and pallets spread across many yards stays visible in a single sheet.

Put this on autopilot.
