Enhance your Warehouse Effectiveness using the RFID

A RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. They can be used to transmit the location of an item, crate or storage unit via wireless radio waves. RFID’s are in use all around businesses. If you have ever got pumped your gas with a SpeedPass, or have ever placed an ID tag on a pet, then you have used an RFID. The RFID does not require a direct line of sight or contact for communication and can be read through the human body, through clothing and even non-metallic materials.

The costs for using RFID’s are still somewhat high for mainstream markets. While it can take a lot of time and effort to deploy RFID’s in a production environment, the benefits to them are proving that it can have some positive return on investment.

Here are a few benefits that can be achieved by using Radio Frequency Identification –

1. Can reduce the cost of warehouse labor and distribution – The RFID can replace the basic paper track operations that exist today. RFID’s can be used to track pallets, crates, cartons, cases and even individual cabinets or products with pin point accuracy and can save a considerable amount of time and headaches when your on a time crunch.
2. Reduce Inventory – Being accurate with your warehouse inventory is crucial to the effectiveness of your work labor. With the RFID you can consolidate your inventory and know exactly where it is.
