Application of RFID in warehouse
RFID tracking system is a very valuable tool in warehouse management. After several levels of operation, RFID tracking technology can improve the operation efficiency and commodity control rate of warehouse management at each level, as follows:
A piece of goods arrives at the receiving dock of the warehouse, is unloaded from the truck, and the RFID tag is pasted on the goods (or the whole pallet).
Each tag has an internal memory in which it will store and modify the information of the item when the item moves in different processes in the warehouse.
RFID tags transmit the information of goods or articles to the central database through electromagnetic signals. The warehouse management system analyzes and updates data as items pass through the warehouse system.
Unlike the bar code system standard in the storage industry in the past, RFID tags do not require line of sight scanners and reading equipment. Staff no longer need to manually scan barcodes within the size of a few inches of a box. With RFID warehouse tracking system, items can be scanned and catalogued from anywhere even after they are hidden in boxes or pallets. RFID tags can also be detected and read remotely at the same time, and multiple tags can be read at a time.
RFIDHow to improve warehouse operation
RFID has several key benefits in warehouse operations. First of all, RFID accuracy is very high, which can eliminate the risk of human error. Secondly, it saves time in the automatic process of communication with warehouse software. For example, when an item arrives or leaves the warehouse, the RFID tag will automatically record its arrival and departure.
RFID even benefits services that require manual intervention, such as picking and packaging. In addition, it can save workers hours of time and improve productivity; Because RFID can help them find the exact location of any item immediately. Integrating RFID technology into the warehouse management system can reduce the operation cost of the warehouse, improve the accuracy, and maximize the completion rate of the work.
