Supply Chain Visibility
“Where are our reusable containers?”
“Why do we continuously have to expedite parts to the manufacturing line?”
“How can we make our ERP system more accurate so that we can make better use of it?”
“We assume the delivery contained everything we ordered, but what if it didn’t?”
“The
pallet isn’t on the shelf
where it is supposed to be… so where
is it?”
"Entering
the data is a big problem in ERP programs.
And we believe that we are going to
be able to adapt the ERP program more
easily if we can gather the data using
RFID technology both in production
and warehouses."

Supply chains are complex,
fast-moving, and fraught with potential errors
that can lead to costly problems
downstream. From shortages on the
line to expedited orders, line
stoppages, dissatisfied customers
and, ultimately, lost sales, the
costs associated with these challenges
are real and they are serious.
Forward-thinking manufacturers,
logistics companies, distributors,
sales & service organizations
and others have wisely implemented
a variety of systems to help improve
their operations reduce errors.
“Putting
RFID on the work orders allows us
to have a hands-free, automatic confirmation
process. And it also helps us find
items much quicker.”

However, systems like these rely
on manual data entry and time-consuming
additional processes that often
lead to inaccuracies and further
issues. These systems need real-time
information that reflects the reality
of the operation.
