Poor Inventory Visibility Can Cause Your Business Headaches
   
In the Yard

Audemars Piguet Replica Automated yard management systems use RFID tags to track their movement and can use the information for efficient, automated routing and workforce management.

The yard management system automatically dispatches personnel to receive the incoming shipment and updates the company’s shipment tracking system. Outgoing trucks are automatically identified and logged out of the yard with the RFID gate readers.
   
On the Plallet
Pallet tracking offers a powerful RFID starting point, one that can provide a lifetime of asset management benefits and set the foundation for many future internal and supply chain operations. Permanently identifying pallets and other returnable logistics containers with RFID tags facilitates automated tracking systems that reduce manual handling and dwell times. Application software can take advantage of the accurate, automatic identification to improve asset visibility and issue management alerts when items are missing or returns are overdue.
   
At the receiving dock
While gate readers can identify an incoming shipment, other RFID systems can track individual pallets as they are unloaded. RFID readers at the dock door can expedite the identification of pallets in an entire shipment and log them into warehouse management or inventory control systems in seconds.
   
In the Warehouse

RFID readers also can be mounted on forklifts or at key storage area entry/exit points to monitor inventory movements
   
In the Shipping Area
RFID can error-proof shipping operations by ensuring all the items needed to fulfill an order are present and packed before the order is dispatched. Bar coding is effective for shipment verification, but is still prone to errors because the application relies on operators to manually scan each item.
   
Within the Infrastructure
The examples presented here have all described RFID use with warehouse management, inventory control and other enterprise software applications. Flexible, standards-based RFID equipment can integrate with current information system infrastructures to enhance and extend the benefits of successful applications. Getting started with RFID doesn’t have to mean starting over with supply chain applications.
