To continue to offer our clients the most efficient options for managing their business operations, Accunet Communications has recently added RFID technology to our stable of solutions.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders.
These devices have proved to be highly effective in tracking inventory throughout warehouses and campuses. The value for inventory systems is the real time visibility of the inventory, eliminating discrepancy between inventory record and physical inventory.The second use is the reduction of human error in recording and tracking inventory.
Benefits of RFID
Benefits of RFID include:
-
Reduction of warehouse and distribution labor costs – Replace the point-and-read operation of tracking inventory with sensors that can track these items anywhere in the facility with precise accuracy.
-
Reduction of point-of-sale labor costs – With RFID, checkout can be completed with a quick scan of all items in a cart, instead of the traditional piece-by-piece scanning.
-
Reduction of theft – Products can be tracked through the supply chain to pinpoint where a product is and eliminate inventory errors or theft.
-
Reduction of inventory & out-of-stock conditions – Because RFID can immediately send alerts when stock is low, managers can mprove forecasting and planning to reduce out-of-stock inventory.
-
Simplification of business processes.
