Manufacturing and automotive solutions built on the RFID-IoT platform
Manufacturing and logistics environments are complex, cost-sensitive, and highly dynamic; products, equipment, and vehicles move within and between facilities, and inventory levels fluctuate.
The typical facility involves workers carrying out many different and complicated tasks simultaneously. Forklift drivers, for example, must constantly transport pallets, barrels, boxes, and bins full of parts throughout a manufacturing plant while adhering to schedules and safety regulations.
In the billion-dollar manufacturing industry, success hinges on timely and error-free
delivery of products through a complex, high-value supply chain. In this extraordinarily
capital-intensive business, a failure of even the shortest duration anywhere along the supply chain can instantly ripple into a million-dollar loss.
Despite the challenges, automotive plant managers have evolved sophisticated strategies to increase operational efficiencies over the years. Logistical and organizational improvements have considerably cut costs and kept automakers competitive in the ever-expanding global marketplace.
That said, there’s always room to improve. If you don’t take advantage of new cost-saving opportunities quickly, your competition surely will. Some of the most significant improvements in auto operations can be made by adopting Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and IoT (Internet of things) technologies to improve asset management
