6 Ways to Improve Operational Efficiency with
RFID
Optic readers are used to improve operational efficiency
in manufacturing, warehouse management, etc.
However, most optic readers need the code to be placed at the
surface of the product or object. This can be limiting since only
one object can be counted at a time…
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has
risen to become a revolutionary efficiency enhancer.
It makes operations considerably more precise
while taking reliability a notch higher.
The technology has significant use across
various industries.
In the consumer goods industry, RFID technology is used
to reduce the time taken to count stock units – which is
otherwise a manual process.
Multiple tags can be scanned simultaneously leading to
significant savings in man-hours.
A clear advantage of RFID tags over barcode labels is
that they can store a lot more information than what the
conventional labels can.
RFID is used to simplify warehouse management. Cargo
units mapped with RFID code enables tracking unit
movement to and from the warehouse.
In the healthcare sector, pharma companies are using
RFID to distinguish genuine medicines from spurious
ones.
Hospitals spend significant time tracking mobile assets
that are lost or stolen. RFID helps track such assets.
In the aviation industry, tracking customer baggage is a major
challenge – especially when customers are taking connecting flights
chances of baggage misplacement is high.
RFID technology can be used to efficiently track customer
baggage. Also, given the ability of RFID readers to read
multiple baggage, the check-in time could also be reduced.
RFID offers the leverage to automate many operational
processes that are currently manual.
Since the technology eliminates the need for manual
counting, scanning, etc., it simplifies the operational
process while reducing manual errors.
