Complex Global Supply Operations need expedite access to information VISIBILITY

inventory management asset management smart shelves access control productivity tools reports & dashboards

your supply chain automatically updates and shares information with your systems

your process acquires full visibility along the supply chain even in remote operations

all the information you may need to manage your operation is automatically provided in real time

RFID enables full visibility for your entire manufacturing process Production Procurement Warehouse Distribution Production Services (R&D, Quality) Management Information Systems

RFID enabled procurement Procurement order is sent to vendors order arrives from supplier order is put-away and tags are applied entering inventory (non RFID Supplier) shipment enters the system and is checked against purchase order all databases are updated automatically shipment detected as it passes through dock (RFID supplier) or traditional bar codes are read

RFID enabled warehouse and inventory Warehouse shipment is put-away to warehouse tagged material ensures it is stacked at assigned location & remains visible inspections made with handheld sensor detect critical issues (EXP) readers keep automatic real-time count and location information tagged goods are recognized by sensors at the entrance integration with WMS provides information about stacking logic

RFID enabled production process Production sorting and inspections are done automatically picking now becomes smart managers gain full visibility and control at every step RFID enabled processing lines capture information integration with MRP provides real time data material for production is allocated to production staging

RFID enabled distribution shipping organization receiving organization order received then released for picking pick & packed for transport. RFID tags applied in cascading order detected as it passes through dock and ship confirm processed. RFID truck sensors check BL & PL order detected as it passes through receiving dock and receipt processed Distribution truck arrives at destination with validated BL & PL

RFID enabled manufacturing: SUMMARY RFID increases your overall performance at all levels Manage by facts with up-to-date accurate critical information Significant cycle time reduction. JIT & continuous flow are easier to implement/control Allows integration with other systems: MRP, MRP2, ERP, CRM, SCM, WMS, SCP. Reduction of chances for waste, losses, error or defects Ensures real time and integrity of data for systems (like MRP) Full-visibility along the process empowers management Important cost savings
