Using an RFID automated location system for managing assets in the supply chain is a no brainer, but so many industries haven’t implemented a location solution, why is that?
Here are the top 5 reasons why some manufacturing and supply chain organizations have not implemented RFID tracking of assembly components, assemblies, products ready for shipment and event for their supplies, kits and tools.
Implementation and decision points feel intimidating and overwhelming, where do I start?Here are the answers based on our extensive experience with implementing RFID in industries as diverse as healthcare, manufacturing and senior living.
- The process starts with picking the right vendor with RFID and manufacturing process expertise. After 20 years in location intelligence, we know how to implement a great solution and how to keep it running to ensure you can run your organization seamlessly.
- What processes need to change? If you use bar code today, the process change is minimal. Just replace your bar code printers with an RFID tag printer. The primary change will be that instead of bar code scanning at every touchpoint, you will have continuous simultaneous real-time inventory visibility, at the component level and when each product is assembled, boxed and shipped.
