Inventory Control in Manufacturing RFID real-time tracking

Streamline inventory time with Auto-ID technology. If hours, days or even weeks are spent conducting inventory of raw materials and finished goods, then Auto-ID will help. Tagged materials will expedite the inventory process and will reduce wasted labor costs spent looking for lost or missing items.

Currently most material tracking systems utilize two-dimensional barcodes that must be within the line-of-sight of the barcode reader to identify them. If there are any environmental factors that would cause scratches or distortion to the barcode label, then identifying the item would be virtually impossible.

Now consider RFID, it has become one of the most powerful technologies for managing inventory, because of its ability to provide real-time visibility into the products on the shelves. With RFID, inventory that used to take days or even weeks, can be completed within a matter of hours and with fewer personnel. Real-time inventory allows decision makers to determine stock availability, improve customer experience, streamline operations and reduce overall costs.
