Automated tracking of shipment movement with Rain RFID
The Client commissioned us to implement the SmartX HUB cloud platform to track the pallets, which would allow real-time visibility using RFID portals in the warehouse and integrated process with the Invoice System.
The Smartx HUB combine auto-ID technology with a robust cloud software platform that provides up-to-date, accurate inventory and supply chain information to help our Client with minimal time and labor.
The selected SmartX HUB’s solutions also included configurable workflows, alerting features, trend analytics, and more to provide real-time control to fix problems before they escalate and optimize the pallet fleet as it travels through the supply chain.
Mis-shipment, especially internationally, can be costly. The customer previously relied on manually scanning barcodes to pallets that were ready for delivery to distribution centers. With the increase in demand for automotive filters, the company turned to RAIN RFID and SmartX to synchronize accurate, real-time loading and shipping information across several warehouses.
- Printed RAIN RFID labels are fixed onto the exterior pallets waiting to be shipped to logistic centers from manufacturing warehouses. The tags provide unique item-level information on the assets based on ERP input.
- RFID readers with New wave are installed throughout the warehouse to track pallets as they exit the facility.
- SmartX’s software processes data scanned from Fixed readers so warehouse operators know with products are loaded on a specific truck and can run inventory reports in real-time.
